A well-known Chinese mythology figure once again served as an inspiration for a video slot.
You may ask, why Caishen again?
Well, Caishen is the Chinese God of Wealth, which makes it clear why we meet him so often. Also, during the celebration of the Chinese New Year, this name is definitely the most heard one...
...so that further explains things.
Caishen’s Arrival is one of the latest titles from BetSoft Gaming’s kitchen and it features 25 paylines fixed on a 5x3 grid.
Released in October 2019, this title is stacked with a decent number of features and tasty maximum wins.
Stay tuned and find out more!
Theme and Symbols
The theme is obvious at first glance. Based on Chinese tradition and customs, this installment offers a wide range of colors mixed with shiny objects.
A combination of red and gold dominates the background, and every detail is in oriental attire.
On the paytable, we will meet a money tree, gold ingot, money bag, a pot filled with golden coins, bell, and turtle. The last one is the highest-paying regular symbol awarding amazing 200x bet for 5 of a kind.
Caishen himself is the wild, and the red ticket represents the scatter.
But wait, there’s more!
Lowest-paying symbols are differently colored royals. Although they do not have much to do with this type of theme, they somehow managed to earn their place on this grid.
Betting Options
Before you decide to spin these oriental reels, you will need to set your bet. The betting range starts at 0.05 and goes up to 5 coins per spin. You may have thought that Caishen’s Arrival is for low-rollers only.
But…
…the maximum win of 10.000x the bet will instantly reassure you.
Also, keep in mind that the theoretical return to player (RTP) is set at 95.74% which will definitely disappoint those “safeplays” players.
Interface-wise, we have the classic BetSoft’s setting, with the spin and autoplay options in the lower-right corner of the screen…
…while the volume settings and information tab are in the opposite one.
Playable across all devices, including mobile ones, this edition will be available to you wherever you are.
Features
Wild
As we already stated in the symbol section, the wild is represented by Caishen himself. He will act as the standard substitute for all of the regular symbols, and it can appear as a standard-sized symbol or a stacked one.
Stacked Wild Re-Spins
If you succeed to fill up one reel with wilds, you will trigger re-spin while the wilds landed will be held in place.
Free Spins
By landing 10 red tickets (scatters) you will be awarded 10 free spins. But, the interesting fact is…
…that during this phase, all wins will be tripled.
With a possibility to re-trigger this feature, and a coin bag symbol awarding instant wins, we can freely say that this feature is the highlight of the game.
Double Up Feature
After any win, you will be able to double up by playing the well-known heads or tails mini-game. Guess correctly – and you will be twice the richer.
Our Take
All of you know that it won’t be easy for Caishen’s Arrival to carry the flattering title of the best slot among the others of similar nature, especially considering the average graphical solutions and low RTP.
On the positive side:
The free spins feature that comes with 3x multiplier for every win and a juicy maximum win of 10.000x the bet show that BetSoft Gaming is definitely in the game.
