Countries with rich folklore and culture seem to be commonly used topics for crafting video slots. With its long tradition and so many characters to serve as an inspiration, China is among the most favorite choices of content producers.
Creative games developer, Red Rake Gaming, equipped its portfolio with (another) Asian-inspired game. Structured as a 5x3 configuration, Caishen 88 brings 25 paylines and a whole collection of dynamic features, impressive graphics, and a pleasant soundtrack.
Caishen, God of Wealth, is the mythological figure from Chinese folklore often invoked during the Chinese New Year celebrations.
There is a huge variety of appearances of this widely worshiped god…
…where he’s depicted riding a black tiger and holding a golden rod or with an iron tool capable of turning stone and iron into gold. With such immense powers, it doesn’t come as a surprise that he frequently ends up as a superstar of slot games.
RRG brought their version of the story, wrapping it up in the most vivid spectrum of colors and spicing up the atmosphere with adequately selected sound effects and oriental melody.
As all the other releases from their lobby…
…this one is optimized for multiple languages and currencies. Done in HTML5, it offers a smooth experience when launched on portable platforms.
The God of Wealth, as assumed is the most powerful symbol of the game, as it has several roles, all of which increase the winning chances.
Besides acting as Wild...
... he also multiplies the wins that he is involved in with the diversity of lucky multipliers: x2, x3, x5, x8, x18, x38 or x88. When three “Money Tree” symbols hit the reels, it activates a roulette game where punter gains the access to 4 different features that bring bonus spins with a variety of multipliers or the “Chinese Lantern Minigame.”
If the player lands on the roulette pocket with the “Chinese Lantern,” a new feature will be activated. This one begins with several Chinese lanterns fixed in place (from 3 to 5) and 3 extra spins.
Each additional lantern will be fixed in place…
… restarting the counter at 3 bonus rounds. The feature will end when the spins are over or when all of the reels are filled with lanterns. And to make the “Chinese Lanterns” shine even brighter, the punter can win the Jackpots that appear in the upper section during this feature: Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots, which will all generate significant winnings.
