Gameplay and Design
Caishen’s Fortune’s base game takes place on a 5×3 layout with a vibrant, animated Chinese-themed background. You could actually be in ancient China the graphics are that good! The best sizes are a little strange with the minimum bet set at $0.38 and the maximum bet tipping the scales at $190, and with everything in between those extremes.
The game comes with medium volatility and an impressive 97.08% payout, which equates to a house edge of 2.92%.
Royals, nines through aces, are the game’s lowest-value symbols and, therefore, appear more frequently during your time on the machine. Chinese symbols such as fans and lotus flowers are mid-tier symbols, while a Chinese baby holding a pot of gold is the highest-value standard symbol on Caishen’s Fortune; it pays out up to 5.25x.
The titular Caishen represents the game’s Wild, which substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter. Wild only appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and can randomly trigger the jackpot-awarding bonus game whenever they land.
A Chinese gong is the scatter on Caishen’s Fortune. Three of more of these symbols not only pay up to 50x but gift you ten free spins.
