Learning of the Chinese New Year will result in free spins, wilds, scatters and possibly a progressive jackpot being found. The maximum payout available below the progressive is valued at $250,000.00.

This games visual scaling isn’t impressive as a background is non-existent. The theme is crafted directly through the icons which result in gameplay being the main focus of this slot. None the less behind the reels there’s a Chinese pattern theme while on the reels there’s a golden dragon, golden turtle, golden ship, a golden coin, golden vase and themed poker suits. All icons have high payouts equipped with them.

Bally Gaming continues to offer the easy-to-use betting selection in all their games. Punters only have to alter the total bet & alter the active paylines. The value of a total bet varies between $0.01 to $1.00. The deciding factor of this betting selection is how many paylines will be active. All 243 being active can result in the $243.00 max bet being at play. Regardless of the bet, winning opportunities remain the same.

The Fu-Bat, a unique icon to this game, appears as the wild symbol. It is only seen on the second, third & fourth reels and will match most other game symbols to allow for possible wins to take place.

The Green Gong, it’s the symbol that activates the free games. Being rewarded with the free games requires three, four or five symbols be seen simultaneously. This will then award 10 Free Spins with all lower paying symbols being removed from the reels and Fu-Bats appearing more regularly. 

There’s a unique aspect to this game called “Gold Symbols,” whenever the golden coin is seen in a winning payout its collected. When one, two, three, four or five golden coins are collected, they may be cashed in. Cashing them in will result in either an abundance of credits being won or the progressive being triggered.

88 Fortunes is a game that to some might seem confusing. After spending a minute to learn the unique features of this game, it quickly becomes evident that it has value. The features, Chinese New Year theme & high payouts combined to result in an outstanding game in Bally’s repertoire.
