Realtime Gaming Finds Inspiration in the Year of the Ox
Year of Fortune is another one of Realtime Gaming’s hugely successful video slots games. The game was released in 2009 and the theme directly coincides with the Chinese Astrology year of the Ox. The graphics are of top-notch quality, as RTG never fails to design. This game can be enjoyed by novice and expert players alike.
There are 12 Chinese zodiac animals, of which the Ox is the second position. The Chinese zodiac rotates in a 12-year cycle. The lucky colours of this year are white, yellow and green and these colours feature prominently in the game.
The symbols include the golden ox which is the wild, they only appear in reels 2, 3 and 4. The scatter symbol is the Year of Fortune logo and this can secure free spins if you get 3 or more. In a normal game the wild can double your win. You will also find the temple that can secure a win of 8,888 coins if you get 5.
The man of wealth symbol can also give you that same amount of coins but you only need to get 4. Other Symbols in the game are the Dragons and the statue symbols that can also generate lucrative winnings.
