How the Game Plays

Golden Ox is a vibrant celebration of the Chinese New Year, centered around the zodiac's symbol of prosperity. Set against a traditional red and gold backdrop with festive firecrackers and dragon masks, the game uses a standard 5x3 grid to host a variety of cultural icons. Winning combinations are formed by landing three or more matching symbols across the 25 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. High-value symbols include golden dragons, drums, and firecrackers, while the Golden Ox himself acts as the Wild, substituting for all regular symbols to complete winning sequences.

Free Spins Explained

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing three Money Tree Scatter symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels. This awards an initial 5 free spins, during which the middle three reels (2, 3, and 4) merge into one massive 3x3 symbol. This "Giant Symbol" mechanic significantly increases the potential for full-screen wins. If a giant Scatter symbol lands during the round, it awards an additional 3 free spins, with no limit on the number of possible retriggers.

Money Respin Feature

Triggered by landing six or more Red Lantern Money symbols, this feature transitions the game to a "Hold & Spin" style bonus. The triggering lanterns remain locked while the rest of the reels clear, awarding 3 respins to find more lanterns. Each new symbol resets the counter back to three. Every lantern carries either a cash value or a Major or Minor jackpot. If the player manages to fill all 15 positions on the grid, they are awarded the Grand Jackpot, which is worth 1,000x the total stake.
