Aristocrat's Mid-Autumn celebration with sticky wild moons and lantern-lit free spins.
Landing three Chinese lantern scatters anywhere on the reels awards 10 free spins and an instant win worth twice your stake.
During free spins, any Wild Moon symbol that lands stays stuck in place for the rest of the round, helping build repeated winning combinations.
If a scatter lantern lands underneath a stuck Wild Moon during the bonus, you'll receive 5 additional free spins.
In the base game, every Wild Moon symbol that contributes to a win doubles that win, making 4- and 5-symbol wild combos especially lucrative.
Moon Festival is a high-volatility slot, meaning wins can be harder to come by but tend to pay bigger when they land.
Choose a bet per line between 0.25 and 10 coins across the 50 fixed paylines, giving a total spin range of roughly 12.50 to 500 coins.
Hit spin to set the 5 reels in motion, or turn on autoplay to let up to 25 rounds run automatically.
Look out for the Wild Moon symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4, and the Chinese lantern scatter on reels 1, 2, and 3.
Land three or more scatter lanterns to unlock 10 free spins with sticky wilds, and keep an eye out for retriggers along the way.
Moon Festival's free spins round kicks off when three Chinese lantern scatters appear together across the first three reels, delivering an instant win worth twice your stake alongside 10 free games; any Wild Moon symbol that lands during those free spins sticks in place for the rest of the round, and if a lantern happens to land beneath one of those stuck wilds, players are rewarded with 5 extra spins, making the bonus round capable of running much longer than its initial allotment.
Long before it became a slot machine theme, the Moon Festival (or Mid-Autumn Festival) was already one of China’s biggest cultural celebrations, roughly equivalent in scale to Christmas or Thanksgiving in the West. Aristocrat leaned into that tradition for its Moon Festival video slot, filling the 5-reel, 50-payline game with lanterns, moon cakes, lotus flowers, and a cast of festival-dressed characters.
Underneath the theme sits a fairly traditional Aristocrat structure: standard card symbols from nine through Ace pay between 5x and 50x the line bet, while thematic symbols like the banjo and moon cakes climb as high as 75x. The top prize belongs to the festival girl symbol, worth up to 100x the line bet. Betting flexibility runs from 12.50 up to 500 coins per spin, and an autoplay option (up to 25 rounds) is available for players who’d rather sit back and watch the reels turn.
Where the game earns its keep is the free spins round: three scatter lanterns unlock 10 free spins with a sticky Wild Moon mechanic, and further lanterns landing under a stuck wild can extend the bonus by 5 spins at a time. Volatility runs high, so smaller wins can be scarce in the base game, but the combination of sticky wilds and multipliers gives the bonus round real upside for patient players. It’s a well-produced package that runs instantly in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, no downloads required.
