Year of the Rat

Year of the Rat is a 5-reel, 50-line online slot released by Genesis Games on 15 January 2020. The game uses a Chinese Fortune and Asian theme, with festive visuals and sound effects based on fireworks and drumbeats. Its stated RTP is 96%, with medium to high volatility.

The main feature is the Free Spins round, activated by three, four or five scatter symbols. Landing three scatters awards 12 free spins, four scatters give 15, and five scatters trigger 20. During this bonus, double wilds appear as exploding firecrackers, paying twice the regular wild value and increasing a multiplier that starts at 2x each time a double wild lands.
