Pragmatic Play slot games are usually bright and colourful affairs and that’s true of Caishen’s Cash. Joining the lower value royal values are a bowl full of gold coins, a waving cat, a girl with a gold pot and a young lad with a fish. The bearded figure of Caishen is the best paying symbol, awarding 1.66, 2 or 6 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 in combination. The wild can land on the middle 3 reels only. It substitutes for all of the standard symbols.
What you’ll really be hoping to see though is the golden money symbol. Land 6 or more on the same spin to trigger the bonus round where you’ll have the pick of the following 2 extras:
Free Spins feature - 8 free spins are awarded here with all of the lower value royal values removed from play. You’ll notice that the gold coins from the triggering spin come with cash values attached. These are added together. Every time a wild lands during the free spins, it pays the combined amount from the coins. For example, if the coins from the triggering spin added up to £2, then each wild that lands during the free spins awards £2.
Money Respin feature - the cash values attached to the gold coins are central to the second feature too. Here you’ll be awarded 6 respins on a new set of reels. The 6 or more gold coins from the triggering spin are locked in place.
The rest of the reels feature blanks, green or blue coins. Land a green coin and it pays the total amount from the gold coins. For example, if the gold coins from the triggering spin came to a total of £2, each green coin that hits awards £2. The blue coin is even better as it pays the combined amount of both the gold and the green coins on show.
To use our previous example, say the triggering gold coins totalled £2 and you’d landed 2 green coins earlier in the round. That gives a total of £6. If you then landed a single blue coin, it would instantly pay £6. The coins remain locked in position once they’ve hit. By the end of the feature, you can land some big combinations if the reels are filled with coins. Hope to add extra respins too. The +1 symbol adds an extra respin to your tally.
Jackpot Game feature - the other extra on offer in Caishen’s Cash can trigger on any spin where a wild is present. You’ll then be offered a selection of coins, behind which lie 4 jackpots symbols. Find 3 that match and that’s the Jackpot you’ll win. The prizes are 25, 50, 100 or 1,000 times your stake if you land the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot.
Pragmatic Play is one of the top developers when it comes to Chinese-themed slot games and they’re created another good’un in Caishen’s Cash. The glossy design is as high end as usual and the feature rounds deliver some excellent action. It’s not as volatile as some slot games in the Pragmatic catalogue. The variance is medium to high with payouts of 21,749 times your stake.
We enjoyed this latest trip East. If you like the Asian theme, then an audience with Caishen’s Cash is recommended. I would recommend you explore other games of theirs with Pirate Gold and Jurassic Giants my favourites.
