It doesn’t take a mastermind to figure out that this game is decidedly Chinese in nature. You only have to read the name. And of course, due to this, it is filled with icons related to Chinese culture, and features a soundtrack that pays a nod to the country as well. The game’s title is actually a traditional greeting in China, especially in the new year, which wishes wealth and prosperity to others. Sort of an appropriate name for a slot game, don’t you think?
The reels feature icons relative to Chinese culture and folklore, such as the ornamental dragon, the koi carp, and one or two others. There’s a layout of five reels and three rows to play on, and a total of nine customisable lines have been included. The bet per line can be altered between the minimum of $0.01 and the maximum of $100, meaning that a maximum overall wager of $900 can be placed per spin with all nine paylines active. An autoplay button has been included to allow up to 99 spins of the reels consecutively.
Bonus Games and Special Features
The ancient Chinese wizard-looking man appears on reels two, three and four, and he acts as a wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols on the reels and doubling the payout amount.
In addition to the wild symbol, there is also a scatter icon, represented by the golden Chinese ornament. These can appear anywhere on the reels and payout a bet multiplier which increases depending upon how many icons can be seen. A maximum multiplier of times 100 can be achieved from five scatter symbols.
Summary
Zhao Cai Jin Bao may wish wealth and prosperity to players, although the limited functions of the game may not bring this directly to you. Yes, there is a wild symbol, and yes there is a scatter icon included, but there’s a lack of freespins or bonus rounds, and with such a theme to work with, Playtech could have produced something grander than what is on offer. Beautiful graphics and appropriate music aside, Zhao Cai Jin Bao will provide you with a simple product to get to grips with, but has nothing exceptional in terms of extra perks. However, if you enjoy games with references to ancient cultures and civilisations, this one could potentially be all you’ve been looking for in the world of online slots.
