Happy Lantern: gold lanterns, lion dancers and four prize tiers
A Chinese festival slot on ACE333 where six gold lanterns start a hold-and-spin feature. What the lanterns, the four tiers and the bet panel show.
Happy Lantern is a Chinese festival slot on ACE333 built around a hold-and-spin feature. It shares its frame with Lightning: four prize boxes across the top, red and yellow reels, and paper lanterns hanging along the edge. The old page described this game as a Halloween slot with witches and ghosts, which matches nothing on screen.
What's on the reels
The regular symbols are an official in a red robe and a jewelled headdress, a white lion-dance head, a green turtle, a bundle of firecrackers, a golden lucky cat and card symbols 9, 10, J, Q and K, some with a small crown.
The special symbol is a round gold lantern. Most carry a number in red (50, 150, 200, 250 and 2.5K appear in our captures). Others read MAJOR JACKPOT or MINOR JACKPOT instead of a number.
The hold-and-spin trigger
A thin banner between the prize boxes and the reels reads "6 [lantern] Start HOLD & SPIN FEATURE" in the hero screenshot. So six lanterns appear to start the feature, and the numbers on them look like the amounts they pay. The feature screen itself is not in our captures, so we cannot show how many respins it gives.
The four prize boxes
Across the top: GRAND JACKPOT (about 1,302,016), MAJOR JACKPOT (about 351,750), MINOR BONUS (5000) and MINI BONUS (1000). Grand and Major each have a small padlock next to them. Minor and Mini are fixed figures in these screens, while Grand and Major creep up between captures.
The bet panel
The bottom panel is short: CURRENT BALANCE, TOTAL BET with minus and plus, TOTAL WIN, a blue MAX BET button and SPIN ("hold for autospin"). Each side of the reels shows a "50 LINES" tab. The total bet stays at 50 credits throughout.
MAX BET sits right next to SPIN. It is easy to hit by mistake, and it jumps straight to the highest stake.
After a win the line result shows bottom left ("Line 17 wins 5" here), "Game Over - Play Now" in the middle, and a black spade marked GAMBLE on the right.
What we could not see
No paytable, hold-and-spin screen or return figure. For a quieter festival game, try God of Wealth. The rest is on the ACE333 game list and in our ACE333 guide.
To try it, get an ACE333 game ID and leave MAX BET alone.

Questions from the field
How does the hold-and-spin feature start?
The banner above the reels reads '6 [lantern] Start HOLD & SPIN FEATURE', so six lanterns in view appear to trigger it. The feature screen itself is not in our captures.
Why do the Grand and Major boxes have padlocks?
Both show a lock icon at a total bet of 50. The screens don't say what opens them; a higher bet is the usual answer in games of this style, so check the rules before assuming.
18+ only. Real-money games; online gambling is restricted in Malaysia. Never top up money you need, and stop if it stops being fun. Responsible gaming.
