Winner: Aristocrat Technologies – Choy Sun Doa
Choy Sun Doa is an apt first winner, as this Chinese-themed game features something that’s a common sight in Macau and elsewhere during the Lunar New Year.
This is the giving and receiving of small red packets containing gifts of money, known as lai see. In Aristocrat’s Choy Sun Doa game, red packets also spell good luck. They appear during the free game feature of this medium volatility video slot. A red packet anywhere on reels one and five results in a random prize of 50, 20, 15, 10, 5 or 2. The random prize is then multiplied by the total number of credits staked.
Choy Sun Doa is our judges’ first winner thanks to its popularity across Asian markets as one of six proven performers in Aristocrat’s Reel Power series.
