Theme of The Game
As many games do these days, 4 Seasons sports a theme which gets inspiration from the Chinese culture, but at least it does it differently than the other pokies available right now. Its inspiration actually seems to come from the Chinese Zodiac and from the animals that are used by it.
Those animals are displayed on the reels of 4 Seasons as babies, so no matter how they might appear in real life, in this pokie they look very cute. From dragons, to pigs, snakes, tigers or mice, they all look like a lot of fun, and they help make the pokie’s design better.
Developer
The developer behind 4 Seasons is called Betsoft, and it’s a name that most players of pokie machines will recognize. They have a collection of high quality pokies to offer players, which tend to give you superb graphics.
I’ll mention titles like At The Copa, Gold Diggers or Good Girl Bad Girl, which are all very well made and a pleasure to try out. You might find a couple of dated pokies as well in their collection, but the new ones are of the highest quality.
How To Play It
Going from the left to the right, at the bottom, you see the Zodiac Wheel (spins automatically), the Coin Value ($0.02 to $1) and the Bet per line (up to 5 coins). You can wager up to $5 for each line, with $150 being the total for 30 lines. All the paylines are active, there is no way to select fewer.
The interface is standard, so you shouldn’t have any difficulty using the game. It’s a good quality design, and I had a pleasant experience while playing it. It does help that the symbols are all with very cute baby animals, so they’re easy to enjoy.
Behind the game area, you see a mountain scene, with a Chinese temple. The image changes depending on the season, so you might have snow for some of the spins, and rain for others.
Special Features
The seasons will change in this game, every 90 spins, but they don’t seem to have any impact on the gameplay. Instead, you’re going to look forward to the Zodiac Wheel spin, which occurs every 30 paid spins. You get another Golden Animal, plus two Silver Animals and six Bronze Animals when this spin is made.
The typical zodiac animal pays 250x, but if they’re Bronze they give you 500x, if they’re Silver they pay 1,250x, and the Golden Animal pays 2,500x. Once 30 spins have gone, the Wheel spins again and other animals are chosen for those roles.
You can expect to get stacked symbols, which occupy multiple reels. These are called Block Wins and the symbols which appear this way can occupy 2, 3, 4 or 5 reels. The payouts are better as well when there are more reels, with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x applied.
The Golden Cat will be the pokie’s wild feature, used in this game as a way to form more combinations, if this symbol happens to land on a payline where it can act as a substitute. Wilds form combinations of their own as well, but only if you get five symbols with the Golden Cat on a payline, in which case you get paid 10,000x the line bet, so up to 50,000 coins.
The Yin Yang, which is colored with yellow and white, will trigger free spins based on the number of such symbols present on the reels. You can get 8, 12 or 20 games for free, for 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
Maximum Payouts
The jackpot of the game is at $50,000, which would be a 10,000x multiple of the line bet. It’s a good top prize for this game, and most pokies will offer significantly less than 10,000x.
Summary
From the design, to the features, the choice of theme and the prizes which you can take home, Betsoft did a lot of things right with this pokie machine, so I’d definitely recommend you take a close look at it.
