If you’re a keen follower of horoscopes, then you’ll already know that 2020 is the Year of the Rat, according to the Chinese zodiac – and RTG is just as on top of things with its brand-new slot machine, Lucky Rat. With Chinese New Year officially beginning on 25 January, Lucky Rat is also set to launch this month, and bring a whole new era of winnings with it!

People born in the Year of the Rat tend to be intelligent, quick-witted, charming and ambitious, which is everything this new slot is and more. Look out for colourful Chinese-style graphics, rat wilds, free spins, scatters, lanterns, envelopes and gold, and you’ll be on your way to a festive winning spree. RTG have given Lucky Rat everything it needs to succeed within the slot game landscape, like an RTP of 97.50%, 720 ways to win, and a top jackpot of $330,000 – so if you think winning is in your stars for 2020, best you get those lucky reels spinning!

Start the year off on a winning note

With 5 reels that pay both ways, Lucky Rat sets you up for a positive outcome right from the start. Featuring a user-friendly gaming interface, it also gives you the chance to play up to 50 coins, with a betting range from $2.50 for the minimum, all the way up to a $250 maximum. Play the max bet for a chance to hit the 1,320x top multiplier, and you’ll have $330,000 streaming into your account – what a way to start the year!

So how will Lucky Rat bring glittering treasures your way? Firstly by bringing you the rat wild itself – a symbol appearing on the middle three reels that’ll substitute for all others (with the exception of the scatter) and complete winning combos at the same time.

Looking for some explosive fun? You’ll find it with the firecracker scatters, which will trigger the free spins round as soon as five symbols appear on the reels. That’s the good news. The great news is that you’ll be able to re-trigger the feature from within the free spins round, up to a max of 240 free spins! Just think of the winning potential!

Finally there’s the coin scatter multiplier, which could help you trigger rewards of up to 50x your original bet, provided you find enough qualifying scatters on the reels – so make sure you keep a sharp lookout!

The Year of the Rat is said to bring prosperity and luck, and if Lucky Rat is anything to go by, 2020 is shaping up to be one lucrative year indeed! Of course, you’ll need to play it first in order to lay claim to its treasures. Remember to keep an eye on your bankroll, budget for your bets, and you’ll be in the money. Just log onto your online casino, choose the bet size that works best for you, and let the reels spin a little magic your way. With Lucky Rat to kick things off, 2020 looks set to be a hugely rewarding year indeed!

Happy Spinning 🙂
