Following the masterpiece with the evocative title of A Christmas Carol (2016), which particularly helped us to overcome the great cold spells that we experienced in some regions of France last winter, BetSoft Gaming presents us with its latest game called 4 Seasons!
A 5 reels, 3 rows, 30 fixed lines slot that has good and enjoyable gameplay to amaze and surprise its audience with its unique graphic design. It is clearly an exceptional one-armed bandit if we compare 4 Seasons to other online casino games from the BetSoft Gaming collection but also to other online gambling designers. This video slot produced in BetSoft Gaming's studios looks to the future by taking players through the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) which as we all know form the cycle of a year.
Future events will not be predicted as is the case with Gypsy Rose (2015), but each rotation will also allow days to flow from hour to hour, then weeks, months, which will have the effect of progressing rapidly through the calendar and ultimately through an entire year! As a result, the background graphics will undergo a radical evolution in their respective designs to significantly reflect the unique characteristics of each season.
4 Seasons takes place in an unknown location in Asia. There are physical clues to this, including large red Japanese maple trees, Chinese lanterns hanging from the branches of these trees, which act as decoration both day and night with the glow of a candle hidden inside. As usual, BetSoft Gaming's editors take great care to offer graphics worthy of the name.
For example, for the autumn period, the landscape is largely formed by dwarf mountains. These are literally welded together to create a natural belt that aims to protect a sacred temple that has been there for hundreds of years from the elements. In order to add life and, above all, continuous movement so as not to be confronted with frozen graphic elements, as the place is at first sight deserted by men, waterfalls gush out from the tops of these numerous hills.
Several carpets of Japanese maple leaves lie on this smooth stone floor where a few puddles have found a birthplace by welcoming again and again those raindrops caused by endless showers.
This rainy weather is always noticeable with this cold and unpredictable wind which takes a malicious pleasure to sweep from right to left these dead leaves of tree which await only to be carried away by these spills of water with multiple passages. That being said, the atmosphere created by the autumn season is particularly pleasant to visualise with this orange sky adding a good touch of charm by offering a particularly relaxed atmosphere to this landscape.
With 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 fixed paylines, the 4 Seasons Video Slot offers a good range of features. There's plenty to keep a good percentage of users happy with a wheel of fortune, win multipliers ranging from X2 up to X10, a special feature (Gain Combos Block) aimed at creating a symbol stack, wilds, ying and yang influenced free spins and finally a fixed jackpot of €250,000!
To open the door to these features, the interface of 4 Seasons consists mainly of animals that are strangely not alive. They are represented in the form of stuffed animals and are accompanied by a Chinese letter for each one, adding an extra level of intrigue to the game. 4 Seasons is a game that is open to all types of players, with a minimum bet starting at €0.01 and increasing up to a maximum limit (Bet Max) of €150.
Users will be able to manipulate their betting levels with ease with a host of options. For example, the choice to select a denomination value (from €0.02 to €1.00), coins per line (1 to 5) or play with convenience features such as an auto play, Bet Max button and more!
4 Seasons is a game of chance that has its own functionality. A strong point that gives it the advantage of offering a new way of collecting chips while remaining in a playful atmosphere. It is clearly a wheel of fortune or also called wheel of luck. It is located in the bottom left corner of the interface and it will not change its position either in the main game, during its activation or during the process of a nearby feature.
Its operation is quite simple to understand. Visually, this wheel of luck is divided into 12 parts. By logic, these parts represent for each of them a specific month of the year. A group of 3 fractions represents a season because as we can understand it now, the goal of the game is to cross the seasons that form a year. The principle is to change the universe in terms of scenery while collecting more and more money!
This wheel of fortune is composed of gain multipliers. They are placed on the dominant fractions (Above) of the wheel and they are accompanied by a small cloth animal. There is a piglet (X5), a tiger (X10) and a kid (X5). Every 30 spins, the wheel of fortune will be free to turn. This particularity will have the repercussion of giving the wheel the opportunity to place its cursor on another animal species that I have just mentioned and thus offer new ways to make profits!
The animals present on the game interface will then suddenly acquire magical powers that will allow them to turn into gold or silver! This is when multiplication clues will be added to the wins to increase the rate of potential winning chips! To know the number of days passed, a gauge of measurement of green color is present at the feet of the wheel of luck.
On the other hand, to progress in the calendar and consequently change season, it will be required to make at least 90 spins. In this case, the interface will change its face but not only. The animals that I call cute and charming will disappear from circulation to let discover others just as nice and soothing. They will also follow the path of generosity with the added benefit of offering other ways to play and achieve the major goal of winning as often as possible!
4 Seasons has more than one trick up its sleeve! To accompany this famous wheel of fortune, a second special option will join the party to literally blow up the video slot vault! Yes, and I'm weighing my words with this special option which is called the Gain Combos Block.
In plain English, these are special symbols that, as in the game Spiñata Grande (2022), have the power to dominate large areas, at least 2 full reels. By doing so, this feature of the game 4 Seasons opens a sure access to very juicy multiplication coefficients!
To be precise about this, 2 reels activate a multiplier of X2, for 3 X3, 4 X5 and for all reels an advantage of X10! All the profits made during this function which aims at stacking symbols will be multiplied by the activated index. However, prizes from wilds will not be taken into account in the calculation of winnings.
Despite the absence of the participation of the profits created by the wilds, the special Gain Combos Block feature promises to offer a real firework display in terms of the animations it will generate, but also in terms of its redistribution power, which from experience is enormous!
The wilds will also be part of the game! I must say that they are doing a great job with the 4 Seasons online slot! They are able to position themselves in multiple locations on the reels and rows at the end of a spin. This is already an important point because with this feature, they already promise frequent wins with the second asset of substituting all the icons of 4 Seasons apart from the scatters that give access to free spins.
In addition to working hard to form paylines, the wilds will award a prize of 10,000 chips in case they have all their means to show their nose 5 times in a row. Symbolized by a cat in the shape of a miniature statuette, the wild will have a high probability of wreaking havoc when it is motivated to show up on the 5 reels of the video slot.
The last feature of 4 Seasons refers to free spins. Free spins to put it simply, which are illustrated by the ying and yang symbol.
Cold, negative or inactivity is based on ying while yang is its perfect opposite with warmth, positivity and activity. 4 Seasons is a fairly generous online game as it is possible to play with 20 free spins if that yellow and white ball shows up on the reels 5 times!
At the very least, if it shows up 3 times, players will already be able to enjoy 8 free spins, which is far from being ridiculous. In addition, all the game's functions will be active. This will give the players every chance to come face to face with lady victory! And if she's really on a good day, you can win extra free spins at any time to keep the fun going!
I loved playing 4 Seasons. A video slot that has a whole host of features and offers an incredible gaming experience with this modern day wheel of fortune and special feature of stacking icons to win bigger and bigger!
I also liked the fact that 4 Seasons offers an evolving game interface allowing you to travel from season to season. This gives it a nice touch of originality while still keeping the game fun.
With an Asian sounding game like Koi Princess (2022), 4 Seasons offers a wide range of features. Not the least of which is that it allows players to further explore the game while having fun and discovering new ways to collect coins.
With its exemplary payout rate and double up feature that activates with every freshly won prize, 4 Seasons Money Game is definitely up there with the other slots of the moment (17 February 2016). Available in a free version and without downloading on the site, 4 Seasons is a video slot that I recommend to as many players as possible.
On the one hand for its three-dimensional graphic quality and on the other hand for these new options that add something new if I may say so in the way of playing. 4 Seasons is a game that offers a very active user experience. A BetSoft Gaming 3D slot that is listed in our favourite games section of this renowned publisher.
