Theme & Design

This Oriental-themed game boasts attractive visual elements and is filled with traditional Asian-themed symbols. 

As expected:

The red colour prevails in every corner of the game, with golden framing, which is known to bring players luck and wealth. 

The main spot on the grid is given to Cai Shen - a sacred figure in Chinese culture, a god of wealth. 

In addition to this character, there are also red lanterns, ancient coins, fish, pig, turtle, and frog icons, as well as card icons from Ace to nine. 

Everything from colours to cartoonish visuals, animation, sound effects and authentic Chinese music, complement the action. 

The title features birds chirping in the trees, and you will feel just like walking among blooming cherry trees in a peaceful garden.

The matrix of Cai Shen 88 game is made out of three rows and five reels and features 25 fixed pay lines. 

Betting Options

Red Rake's Cai Shen 88 is a 5-reel non-progressive title, which features 25 pay lines. 

While its payout potential appears to be fairly high, reaching a value of up to $193,600...

...there is also the matter of a below-average Return to Player, which is set to 95.30%.

Wager values can be selected from the bottom of the reels with the - and + buttons…

...and may range from 0,25 to 25,00 credits making this game very budget-friendly. 

If you decide to use the Autoplay feature, you can do so by clicking on the option on the left side of the Spin button and select up to 100 automatic spins!

All you have to do is to line up 3 or more symbols of the same kind presuming they occupy adjacent spaces on reels connected from the leftmost. 

Like in all other Asian-themed games, the paytable puts much trust in symbols closely related to the main premise.

Regular Symbols

• Both the pig and frog, as well as coins will pay up to 0.88x the line stake for their five-of-a-kind combinations.
• Turtles and fish combos will be worth up to 0.78x the line stake.
• Card icons from Ace to nine will bestow between 0.68x to 0.48x the line stake for five-of-a-kind combinations.

Special Symbols

• Cai Shen is Wild that acts as a substitute, and it also pays up to 8.88x the line stake for its five-of-a-kind combination.
• Scattered Money Tree pays up to 188x the total stake, and unlocks features.

Special Features

The slot’s features revolve around wilds with up to 88x lucky multipliers, a mini-game with Chinese Lanterns, three types of jackpots...

...as well as four types of free spins!

Not only does this Gold of Wealth symbol act like a substitute, but the lucky Wild symbol also has a random Lucky Multiplier which applies to wins and...

...the values can range from 2x to a staggering 88x.

Lucky Roulette is a Bonus Round that can be triggered by landing three Money Tree symbols anywhere on the reels.

You get to spin the Wheel and get either the Chinese Lanterns minigame or...

...one of the four types of Free Spins:

• 4 Free Spins with fixed 88x Wild multipliers
• 8 Free Spins with random multipliers between 18x and 88x
• 15 Free Spins with random multipliers between 8x and 38x
• 28 Free Spins with random multipliers between 5x and 18x

The Chinese Lanterns mini-game uses only Chinese Lanterns on the reels as symbols.

You start with 3 to 5 Lanterns and during the next spins more can appear.

The meter resets every time new Lantern symbols appear, and at the end of the round, you get either regular prizes or...

...one of the fixed jackpots.

The biggest reward reaches 1,000x the total stake!

This is crazy!

To Conclude

With more winning opportunities that we could describe...

...this is one of the Red Rake’s games we recommend to players of all sorts and kinds. 

Graphically it’s exactly what you would normally expect from this Chinese-themed title with recognizable golden, red and bright symbols.

Even though the RTP could be better, it’s the bonus features that really stand out!
