4 Seasons Slots
The Chinese zodiac covers a 12-year cycle and names a specific animal to be the animal of the year. The animals on the Chinese zodiac are tied to an element and either Yin or Yang depending on your birthday.
- Rat (Water)
- Ox (Earth)
- Tiger (Wood)
- Rabbit (Wood)
- Dragon (Earth)
- Snake (Fire)
- Horse (Fire)
- Goat (Earth)
- Monkey (Metal)
- Rooster (Metal)
- Dog (Earth)
- Pig (Water)
These are all celebrated in 4 Seasons slots. In addition to the animal, Yin and Yang are a big part of Chinese astrology. Yin is associated with the dark side and is passive, and Yang is the light side and is active. That’s the basic premise of this Asian slot game that we’ll review below.
A Simplistic Paytable Makes 4 Seasons Paytable Easy to Follow
With 4 Seasons slots, the 5 reels are packed with the animals in Chinese astrology. You have to have three, four, or five matching animals from left to right on a line. The animals are a dog, mouse, monkey, sheep, horse, dragon, and rat.
Prizes are as follows based on a 90-cent wager.
- Three matches – 30 cents
- Four matches – 60 cents
- Five matches - $1.50
Symbols are stacked. If a block of animals forms, you win a 2x (2 reels), 3x (3 reels), 5x (4 reels), or 10x (5 reels) combo prize.
The Golden Cat Wild is a wild symbol that pays $300 if it appears on all five reels. The final symbol is the Yin Yang scatter. With three, four, or five Yin Yang scatters you win 8, 12, or 20 free spins.
Advancing to a New Season
After every 30 spins (one month), the calendar in 4 Seasons advances. One Zodiac Animal is selected to be the new Golden Animal. New animals appear on the reels for the next 30 days.
After 90 spins (three months), the Animals on the reels change and a new season begins. That triggers the prize wheel. The Golden Animal embraces a 10x multiplier when it helps form paylines. There are also Silver and Bronze animals selected. The Silver Animal is a 5x multiplier, and the Bronze Animal is a 2x multiplier.
