Game Overview

Luck plays a big part in Asian culture, and that translates across slot themes aimed at Asian iGaming markets. Of course, these themes also prove popular in other markets, so we often come across oriental slots featuring lucky symbols, numbers, animals, or, in this case, Cai Shen, the Chinese God of Prosperity and Wealth. The video slot in question is Caishen Coming by JDB Gaming. It offers up to 32,400 Ways-to-Win, a cascading reels mechanic across 6 reels, and a 4,700x maximum win.

There is the age-old saying, ‘Never judge a book by its cover’, and I must admit I was guilty of this when I first powered up the Caishen Coming slot. At first glance, the slot looks like it doesn’t offer much. Boy, was I wrong? The base game offers wild symbols, multipliers, transforming framed winning symbols, and, of course, that cascading reels mechanic. Once you’re ‘lucky’ enough to trigger it, all those features combine with the free spins bonus, complete with a progressive multiplier that does not reset between spins.

Now, you’re not obliged to take my word for it; we all have different likes and dislikes. However, I suggest you play a few spins on our Caishen Coming slot demo. You’ll finish up as impressed as I am.

Regarding the look of Caishen Coming, it is important to understand that most slot players in the region play on mobile devices. Sure, it is the same across most continents, but even more so in Asia. That is why JDB slots typically display in a portrait mobile format, which you can see via other JDB Gaming titles we have reviewed, including Pop Pop Candy, Fruity Bonanza, and Treasure Bowl. However, you can still spin the reels using laptops and desktops, but it may take a bit of getting used to. Besides, you always have the option of following the trend by powering up these titles on your mobile devices to ensure you get the best possible experience.

As you might expect, the high-paying symbols are all related to luck and Cai Shen. Now, I am not up to date with all these symbols, so forgive me If I get some wrong. The Money Bowl offers the best payout of 50x the stake for a 6-symbol combination. For the same number of matching symbols, the Bag of Lucky Coins, a Dragon, the Blue Ornament, Three Lucky Coins, and Red Envelopes all deliver 40x, 30x, 20x, 15x, and 15x, respectively. The Ace and King playing cards reward you 10x, while the Queen, Jack, and Ten pay 4x. The Wild symbol can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and substitutes for all symbols except the free spin bonus symbols.

A low betting range is another thing you will find in common when playing JDB Gaming slots. You have six spin bet options: €0.20, €0.40, €0.60, €1, €1.60, or €2 per spin. It should, of course, be noted that this is for demo purposes only, and real money play will provide you with more options in your native currency.

Caishen Coming Slot Base Game

JDB Gaming has gone with an exciting reel configuration for Caishen Coming. There is a 6-reel, 5-row grid with the addition of a horizontal reel that sits above the 4-middle reels. That means you’re spinning on a 5-6-6-6-6-5 reel matrix. As for the mechanics, the slot combines Ways-to-Win and a mechanic similar to Megaways.

Each vertical reel can reveal between 2 and 5 symbols, while the horizontal reel always delivers 4. Ultimately, every spin gives you a random number of Ways-to-Win between 2,025 and 32,400. As for forming winning combinations, this involves lining up 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. The final dynamic is a cascading reel feature, which removes winning symbols and replaces them with new symbols, resulting in the possibility of a chain reaction of wins.

Silver Framed Symbols

You will notice some symbols will appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 with silver frames outlining them. When these symbols are part of a winning combination, the edges turn gold. If that symbol wins again on the same spin, it transforms into a wild symbol. If it contributes to a third win in succession, it disappears from the reels.

Random Multipliers

Caishen Coming features two free spins bonus symbols with multipliers. A regular free spins bonus symbol can appear on any reel and will carry a 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+, or 5+ mark. This is added to the current multiplier value for the spin. The second free spins symbol can appear on reel six only and will carry a 2x multiplier value. It will double the current multiplier value of the spin. The current multiplier value, when a winning combination is created, will apply to the regular symbol payout.

Caishen Coming Slot Bonus Features

The aforementioned base game features all play their part in the main bonus feature on Caishen Coming. That bonus is a free spins feature triggered when any four-symbol combination of the two free spins bonus symbols land during a spin.

Free Spins Feature

When triggered, you receive ten free spins. The multiplier value created by the triggering free spins carries over and will apply to all wins created as the feature plays out. Each new instance of the free spins bonus symbols will increase the progressive multiplier further and will not reset between spins. You will also trigger ten additional free spins up to a maximum of 30 each time four free spins symbols land during a spin.

Pros

  • An impressive combination of modifiers and bonus features.
  • Perfect for mobile slot fanatics.

Cons

  • Portrait mobile format takes time to get used to on a desktop.

Caishen Coming Slot Review Final Thoughts

Whether you're superstitious or not, Caishen Coming is an excellent addition to the JDB Gaming portfolio. The combination of Ways-to-Win, cascading reels, random multipliers, and framed symbols ensures there's always something going on. Trigger the free spins feature, and you can genuinely feel that luck is shining down on you, as there is a good chance to rack up some big multiplier wins!
