Monopoly Lunar New Year slot summary
Monopoly Lunar New Year slot from WMS has finally combined the Orient with the trademarked Monopoly theme. An ornate red background, Chinese music and nice gentle sound effects make a soothing setting here. There's touches of Netent's old Egg-o-matic slot here too combined with WMS' own Monopoly Mega Movers slot and for the eastern input, Jin Ji Bao Xi Megaways slot. So can our bankroll stay in the moonlight here or will it not last into the new day, let alone a new year?
On the reels...
We have 5 rows of 3 columns here with 15 individually spinning tiles and 243-ways to win on Monopoly Lunar New Year slot. Your 5-of-a-kind pays are very low in relation to the 20-coin token value bet (although spins cost 22 coins) with the high symbols of Mr. Monopoly 7x, Pagoda 3.75x, Tea or Presents 2.25x, Pig or Basket or Ace 1.5x and 3 card values of 1x. Symbols can appear stacked and singly and Wilds only on reels 2,3,4. You don't get scatters but there are various Chests that appears above reels 1,3,5 and these can be activated by Lunar coins landing below them. You get either a token value which is 1.5 to 10x your 20-coin base stake or it transforms into a Crescent Moon. You may randomly land a red Envelope any time which will award 44x bet if playing less than 66 coins, and 177x if over 66 coins.
Special Features
So if your Lunar coin lands under a Chest it will activate it only if it turns into a Crescent Moon and there are these prizes:
Lunar Chest Free Spins - 8 of these and only coins can appear. You now have 5 Chests above the reels and the coins landing will award 0.5 to 10x each or reveal either extra spins, 1 Chest or 5 Chests. Chests only offer token multipliers in this bonus and you are limited to maximum 50 spins.
Expanding Reels Free Spins - you get the reels expand to either 4x5, 5x5 or 6x5 each spin for up to 7776-ways to win. Coins dropping in will only award extra spins. 50 is the maximum you can get.
Token Value - 3 to 188x your 20-coin token value.
Jackpot Game - You pick from 15 tiles. Each reveals 1 or 2 cards. These will be either Property or Upgrade Cards. the objective is to collect 4 cards for any of the fixed jackpot levels. These are MINI 50x 20-coin token value, MINOR 125x, MAJOR 500x and finally GRAND at 10,000x. If you pick 3 Upgrade Cards before you complete a set of 4 for any of the jackpots, the jackpot amounts are doubled so it's possible to win up to 20,000x in effect.
Our View...
Monopoly Lunar New Year slot has a 95.95% RTP and is very entertaining and smooth to play. Soft music, easy sound effects and decent animations make for a good experience and there's plenty going on! The base game doesn't pay huge as you might imagine but you can often hit 10-50x token multipliers via the Crescent Moons as those are most common outcomes as opposed to either of the free games or jackpot rounds. Both free games modes are decent enough and will pay something worthwhile but obviously the biggest prizes lie within the jackpots game which is rarer to trigger. Overall this is a slot well above average for fun and longevity of bankroll, rare when combined with good potential. You won't need to be a loon to go lunar on this Monopoly edition...
