Lucky Cai Shen Slots
Enjoy a whirlwind trip to the mystical Orient with Lucky Cai Shen the online video slot from Spade Gaming.
Explore the symbols on offer and hope for good luck as you spin the reels in a bid to win big cash prizes.
But will your fortune cookie hold big money? Here’s a review of Lucky Cai Shen by Spade Gaming with everything you need to know.
Spectacular Graphics
The beauty of the Orient is brought vividly to life with this offering from developer Spade Gaming.
From the moment the game loads in the browser you'll be treated to a vision of another culture with the beaming Chinese man waiting to welcome you.
Once in the full screen, you’ll appreciate the graphics with rich, deep colours and immaculate attention to detail. In the background is beautiful cherry blossom, while below the green of the harvest fields are lush.
In stark contrast to the beautifully intricate but natural backdrop, the reels and board are ornate and opulent, dripping in gilded decoration. The primary colour is a deep red, often believed to be extremely fortuitous in the Far East.
As well as letters representing the playing cards, on the reels you’ll find a whole host of symbols which are traditionally believed to bring good luck such as fortune cookies, lucky coins and jade. The same smiling man which welcomed players to the game makes another appearance on the reels.
Find Your Fortune
Many fortune hunters travel far and wide to track down treasure but you have the chance to do the same without even leaving the comfort of your home.
Travel in your virtual environment to the paytable, where you can find out what prizes could be in store if you win.
To get a payout you’ll need to match symbols on an active payline; the lower value symbols pay out for a match of three or more while the higher value symbols pay out for matching just two.
The fortune cookie offers the top prize, with a win of 400 for matching five symbols and a win of 50 for matching just two.
As well as the regular symbols, there's the chance to land the special wild symbol. This appears on reels 2, 3 or 4 and is represented by the smiling man. If you spin this symbol it can help you to get a win as it can step in and substitute for any of the other symbols (apart from the scatter).
All of the wins on the board are read from left to right with the sole exception of the scatter which can be read in any direction.
Prepare to Play
Once you've finished looking through the paytable you can line up in front of the reels and prepare to start play. However, just before you do you'll need to set up your bet.
You’ll be playing on five reels but you won't need to choose how many pay lines to activate as this is an automatic choice. You will need to set up the value of the coin though; you can choose between the minimum of 0.01 up to the maximum of 1.00. There's also three separate levels of betting; this increases the stake but also ups the potential prize you could win too.
The scatter symbols can provide extra chances to win if you land three or more anywhere on the board. You’re in with a chance of winning between 8 and 20 free games depending on whether you spun 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols. You could also receive up to x27 multiplier too.
During these free spins, if the wild symbol appears you will instantly receive a multiplier of witer x2 or x3.
The free games can be retriggered during the free spins, extending your prize even further. If you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols you'll win a further 5, 8, 15 or 20 free spins.
Beautiful Bounty
Lucky Cai Shen by Spade Gaming is an online video slot which is truly beautiful, with graphics which are truly evocative of a trip to the mystical Orient. However, there's more to this game than just well designed images. There's not a bonus round or progressive jackpot but the free spins feature is generous and could lead to big prizes.
Lucky Cai Shen is a game that will attract anyone who likes Chinese themed slots but it's straight forward enough for even newbies to enjoy playing.
