- A nice-looking Asian slot from Pragmatic Play
- Different coins offer unique modifiers
- A fairly standard collection slot that doesn’t stand out much
Pragmatic Play have decide to create a game catered more towards the Asian market with Chests of Cai slot and, like many of their games these days, it has a collection theme and also offers jackpots and respins. Visually I think it looks pretty good although I’ve never been a huge fan of this particular theme as it’s very overused. You have 5 reels and 3 rows in the base game to give you 25 paylines, and you need a win from left to right using the base symbols for a payout.
Chests of Cai Shen Slot Bonuses and Features
Bonus Coins. Three types of Bonus Coins can land during the base game – Green, Red, and Purple. Each Coin corresponds to a specific chest (Prosperity, Double, or Longevity), and collecting them fills their respective chest. Once a chest is full, it can trigger the Chest Respin feature with modifiers based on the collected coins:
- Green Coin (Prosperity Feature): May trigger a respin where 1, 2, or 3 Money symbols are upgraded with random values during respins.
- Red Coin (Double Feature): Triggers the Chest Respin on two 5×3 grids, where each grid plays out separately with its own respins and rewards.
- Purple Coin (Longevity Feature): Provides 4 resettable respins instead of 3, increasing the chances of filling the grid and winning the Grand Jackpot.
Chest Respin Feature. This feature is played on a new 5×3 grid (or two grids in the Double Feature) where each reel shows either a Money symbol or a blank. The feature starts with 3 respins (or 4 with the Longevity Feature), and each Money symbol that lands resets the respin count. The round ends when no respins remain, or the grid is filled with Money symbols. Filling the grid awards the Grand Jackpot, worth 5,000x the bet. Money symbols can also award other prizes:
- Grand Jackpot: 5,000x the bet
- Major Jackpot: 150x the bet
- Minor Jackpot: 20x the bet
- Mini Jackpot: 10x the bet
- Cash Rewards: Between 0.6x and 30x the bet
If the grid is filled during the Double Feature, the Grand Jackpot is awarded twice, but other prizes are forfeited.
Buy Chest Respins Feature. Players can purchase the Chest Respin feature in some regions with two options:
- Pay 50x the bet to trigger the feature with 1, 2, or 3 random modifiers.
- Pay 100x the bet to activate all 3 modifiers for the round.
Conclusion
Chests of Cai Shen slot from Pragmatic Play has a couple of features and can offer jackpots up 5,000x with some nice visuals too. The collection feature allows you to fill chests up until they explode and activate. Each coin can lead to different features and do things like help you win big jackpots. The respins feature is rather interesting and plays out on a much larger grid, offering payouts up to 10,000x if you’re lucky. I do like the effort they’ve put into this game visually and some of the unique features like the large grid in respins, but ultimately this is another collection-feature-based game that doesn’t really stand out too much in my opinion, but it’s not a bad slot either. For other slots with an Asian theme, you may prefer Ways of the Qilin slot here.
