Game mechanics
New Year plays out on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 50 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right when matching symbols line up across those lines. Wild and scatter symbols are part of the paytable, with the wilds substituting to help complete winning combinations.
The main feature is a free spins round: landing 3 bonus symbols on reels 1, 2 and 3 awards 10 free spins. During those free spins an extra wild symbol is added to reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 for the next spin, and the round can be retriggered once, with spins 11-20 keeping the same wild count reached on spin 10.
