Chests of Cai Shen Overview

Pragmatic Play released a new online slot game using the Chinese God of wealth, Cai Shen. So we can expect a pretty basic Asian themed slot game, to be honest.

I have to say, I do like the background of this slot game a lot. A river with Chinese temples and mountains in the background, looks good. But for symbols it’s what you expect, roosters, koi and of course Cai Shen himself.

The game uses 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and uses 25 paylines.

Besides low paying card symbols you will also find medium to high paying animals and Cai Shen as the highest paying symbols. Then there are wild symbols on all reels, but also three different colored coins, more on those below.

Chests of Cai Shen comes with a nice maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet and is a high volatile slot game.

Chests of Cai Shen, Base slot game

Features

Coins

During the base game three different color coins can appear on all reels. This can be a Green, Red and Purple coin. And here is what they do:

  • Green – are collected in the green Prosperity chest above the reels. When collected it can also randomly activate the Chest Re-spin Feature where after each re-spin up to 3 coins can receive a value upgrade.
  • Red – are collected in the red Double chest above the reels. When collected it can also randomly activate the Chest Re-spin Feature where you now play on two reel sets instead of one.
  • Purple – are collected in the purple Longevity chest above the reels. When collected it can also randomly activate the Chest Re-spin Feature with one extra re-spin, so instead of 3 you get 4 re-spins.

Chest Re-spin Feature

When coins are collected, they can randomly activate the Chest Re-spins Feature. It can trigger with one, two or all three modifiers active, as explained above,

During these re-spins only blank spots or golden coins appear. You start with 3 or 4 re-spins that will reset back when one or more coins appear.

The feature ends when all spots are filled or when you run out of re-spins. There are also 4 different jackpot amounts of 10x, 20x, 150x or 5.000x bet available during this feature.

Bonus Buy

You also able to buy the bonus for 50 times bet, which will award at least one active color. Or for 100 times bet, guaranteeing that all three colors are active.

Verdict

If you have been in land-based casinos, you know these Hold and Re-spins slots with three different pots or chests on top of the reels that can trigger on any spin, have been very popular for a while now.

Some of them are even available online, from providers like SG Interactive. So no wonder Pragmatic Play also released a game using this mechanism.

But to be honest, for me it’s a bit too late. I have seen these games by now. We haven seen so many games with the Hold & Re-spins features. Some very basic, some with special added bonuses, but basically they are all the same.

Although I do like that the feature seems to be triggering pretty often and you are able to buy free spins with all three active modifiers, it’s still a pretty basic game for me.

But I am sure a lot of players will enjoy this game a lot, so check it out for yourself and let me know what you think?

You can find Chests of Cai Shen at all trusted Pragmatic Play casinos.
