We are celebrating Chinese New Year right here at playTSOGO with captivating reels. So stick around to learn some history, get to know our Eastern-themed slot games and discover the incredible offers available to you.

Year of the Wooden Dragon

This year we celebrate the year of the Wooden Dragon. It starts on 10 February 2024 and ends on 28 January 2025 when the year of the next assigned animal takes over. The 12 animal signs are based on the Chinese lunar calendar and the dragon is the fifth animal, appearing once every 12 years. The next one will only appear in 2036, so it’s a pretty big deal.

Legend says that the Jade Emperor held a race to determine which animals should have the honour of the zodiacs. Many believed that the dragon would come out victoriously, but on the way to the finish line, the dragon took pity on a village that was suffering from drought. Being an animal of the sea, but can fly in the sky and make wind and rain, the dragon gave the village water and ended up losing the top position.

It is the year of the Wooden Dragon as the Chinese have the Five Elements Theory – Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth— attached to each year, in addition to the zodiacs. Thus, dragons born in different years will have different elemental personalities.
