4 Seasons

4 Seasons, a stunning new slot from BetSoft Gaming, is based upon the Chinese zodiac and it takes players on a trip through the four seasons of the year and allow then to benefit from a huge number of bonuses at the same time. It is a 5 reel, 30 fixed play line game and it has a massive top payout of 10,000 coins up for grabs. The reels are set against a beautiful mountainous view of the Chinese country side which changes weather as the game progresses. The game features a seasonal wheel which rotates to a different animal every thirty spins and the animal at the top of the wheel awards players with multipliers as do the animals either side. The slot also awards special multipliers for landing blocks of symbols and there is also a free spins game which gives you the chance to win up to 20 free spins.

Before spinning the reels players first need to choose their coin size and the number of coins to bet per line using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ control buttons in the relevant fields. Players can then click on ‘Spin’ to set the reels spinning once or use the ‘auto play’ function to set up to 100 consecutive spins in play. There is also a ‘bet max’ button to quickly set the maximum bet per payline. As long as at least three matching symbols land from left to right along a payline then players will win a payout. Players can find more information about payouts and bonus features by clicking on ‘View Pays’.

It is possible to bet anything from $0.30 right up to $150 per spin depending on the coin size used and the number of coins bet per payline. The top payout of 10,000 coins is won by landing five of the Golden Cat whild symbols on a payline. The smallest payout of 10 coins is won by landing three of any of the other symbols along a payline. A nice thing about this slot is that all of the symbols are of equal value unless multiplied by the seasonal wheel.

The symbols in 4 Seasons are representations of the twelve signs of the zodiac and therefore consist of twelve animals. They are: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The golden cat is the wild symbol and it can substitute for all other symbols except the Yin Yang scatter symbol. The seasonal wheel below the reels also contains the twelve signs of the zodiac and after every thirty spins it will rotate one position anti-clockwise. The animal at the top of the wheel will earn a 10x multiplier if it is part of a winning combination, the animal either side of it will earn a 5x multiplier and the animals three to the side will earn a 2x multiplier. Furthermore, all the animals can land stacked on the reels and if enough land to create a block then an extra multiplier is awarded. A two reel block awards a 2x multiplier, a three reel block awards a 3x multiplier, a four reel block awards a 5x multiplier and a five reel block awards a 10x multiplier. Landing three, four of five of the Yin Yang scatter symbols anywhere on the reels awards 8, 12 or 20 free spins respectively. Best of all, after any winning spin players can try to double their payout by playing a head or tails game.
