On the 26th of January 2009 the Chinese people world over celebrated their new year. The Chinese name each year after an animal and the incoming year is the Year of the Ox. The Ox in Chinese culture is a sign of prosperity. And to ring in this prosperity Real Time Gaming (RTG) has launched a new online slots game called Happy Golden Ox of Happiness. Real Time Gaming powered online casinos accept American players. Therefore the Chinese population of America will too be able to celebrate the Year of the Ox by playing the Happy Golden Ox of Happiness.

Happy Golden Ox of Happiness is a five reel slot with an amazing number of 50 paylines. Yet the online slot has only a fixed bet of $1 per spin. This is great news for all the low rollers who can have a go at all the payouts offered for a nominal investment. The Happy Ox symbol is the wild symbol, and it substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter symbol in order to make up winning combinations. The Year of the Ox symbol is the scatter symbol. The Happy Ox symbol appearing on reels 1 and 5 trigger the re-spin feature. In this feature reels 1 and 5 do not spin. The remaining three reels re-spin up to 8 times. Payouts are multiplied by 1 on the first re-spin, by 2 on the 2nd re-spin and so on. The eighth re-spin has a multiplier of 8. The free spins feature is triggered when 3 or more Year of the Ox symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Payouts are tripled during these spins. The re-spin feature can be triggered during free spins and it comes with even greater multipliers than before. The slot has a progressive jackpot. When 5 Happy Ox symbols line up on any payline during normal spins the progressive jackpot is hit. When these symbols line up during free spins or re-spins the payout is 8888.

The payout table features the digit '8' prominently. Typical payouts are 8888, 888, 88, 8, 2888 and similar numbers. This is not an ad hoc decision. There is a special reason for this. In China the digit '8' stands for prosperity. People want to have as many 8s in their telephone numbers and car registration numbers. So much so that telecommunication companies and car registration authorities charge extra for each '8' that is included in the telephone number or the car license plate. Hence this slot game really looks to bring prosperity to the players.

Happy Golden Ox of Happiness can be played at any Real Time Gaming online casino. Casino Advisor recommends One Club, Rushmore Casino, Cherry Red, Club World, Bodog, Vegas Casino and Slots Oasis.
