Moon Festival slot review
Moon Festival is an Aristocrat video slot themed on the Chinese Mid-Autumn celebration. It plays on 5 reels and 4 rows with 50 paylines. Three lantern scatters trigger 10 free spins, and during that round every Moon wild that lands stays fixed in place until the feature ends.

How Moon Festival plays
The festival setting shapes the look of the reels, and wins pay along any of the 50 lines.
Two special symbols drive the game:
- The Moon: the wild, which substitutes for every symbol except the scatter.
- The Chinese lantern: the scatter, which opens the free spins from any position on the reels.
Free spins with sticky Moon wilds
Land three lantern scatters anywhere on the reels and the game awards 10 free spins. The difference from the base game is the Moon. Each wild that appears during the round turns sticky, locking into its position for all of the remaining spins.
That makes the round build as it goes. A wild that lands early can help on every spin that follows, and two or three fixed wilds on different reels can take part in line wins across many of the 50 lines. A round with no early wilds, on the other hand, can pass quietly, so the feature varies a lot from one trigger to the next.
