New Year Rich (SimplePlay) – Review & Demo Play

New Year Rich Game Theme

I play New Year Rich for the Chinese New Year celebrations on five reels and three rows with 30 paylines. The action sits inside a nightclub, and a friendly hostess stands alongside the reels, cheering on every win. Themed symbols tie in with food and drink for the season, while firecrackers add real impact during features. It’s a straightforward setup that suits quick sessions, yet it still carries the feel of a proper festival slot with steady pace between base game spins and features.

New Year Rich Graphics & Soundtrack

SimplePlay go the extra mile on presentation here. There’s plenty of colour and detail across the reel set, and the hostess guides you through the action. The soundtrack fits the party mood, and the win cues land cleanly without drowning the spin rhythm. The overall look stays sharp on both desktop and mobile, which keeps longer sessions comfortable and helps the win animations stand out when they land in sequence.

All 30 paylines in New Year Rich are fixed, so I only set my stake and press Spin. Autoplay allows up to 1,000 spins, and there’s a Turbo button to speed things up. Bombing Reels produce a hailstorm of firecrackers after wins, which gives the reels a punchy reset and keeps momentum. Wilds and Scatters are easy to spot on the grid, and the UI makes stake changes quick, so I can adjust pacing between base game spins and features.

New Year Rich Bet Sizes & Top Wins

With 30 fixed lines, stakes start at 0.30 and go up to 60 per spin. Playing card symbols sit at the bottom of the paytable, while the picture symbols step up with the better returns. Top win is 500x, so I treat the slot as mid-cap on the prize side in the base game. It’s a tidy range for testing patterns with small stakes and scaling when features begin to show. Nothing fiddly here; set, spin, and watch the board.

The picture symbols can pay between 250x and 500x your coin bet on strong lines, but the real climb happens when Multipliers appear in the Free Spins bonus round. That’s where I’ve seen the payout lift, especially when cascades line up off the back of Bombing Reels. Base hits keep you ticking over, yet the heavier returns are tied to bonus play. I pace my bankroll to wait for those multipliers rather than forcing the base.

New Year Rich Bonus Features Free Spins

Bombing Reels trigger after every winning spin. Any reel containing a winning symbol explodes in a hailstorm of firecrackers and clears, leaving those reels empty. New symbols then drop down, which can create extra winning lines. This keeps going until no more wins occur. The feature feels like Avalanche Reels with a festive twist, and the resets can chain nicely when mid-value picture symbols cluster. It’s the heartbeat of the base game and worth waiting for.

Scatters land only in the base game on reels 1, 2, and 3. Hitting three awards a Scatter Pays prize worth 33x your total stake and triggers the Free Spins bonus round. I then choose one of five options, each mixing Free Spins and Multipliers. Go for more spins with a lower Multiplier, or fewer spins with a higher Multiplier. I pick based on session balance and recent hit rhythm, but the flexibility is the draw here.

New Year Rich RTP & Volatility

The RTP is 95.87%, which sits slightly below average but above that 95% cut-off many players use. Volatility is medium to high, so the pace can stretch between stronger sequences. I treat it as a high-risk, high-stakes slot when I’m pushing, yet I’ll often test in demo first to check how often Scatters show and how Bombing Reels chain. If the balance is modest, small stakes and longer sample runs make more sense here.

New Year Rich Overall Review

SimplePlay know the features that players like to see, and the Bombing Reels in New Year Rich lift the base game above average. The Free Spins bonus with five options lets me tailor the session, and Multipliers can deliver superb prizes when the reels flow. I run this when I want a moderate to high level of risk with a tidy feature cycle and clear paytable. If you pace your bankroll, this festive slot can be very rewarding.
