How to Play Chests of Cai Shen

Chest of Cai Shen is a 5-reel online slot with 25 paylines. Win with matching symbols that line up from left to right across the reels. You can also win by opening the Chests to trigger a Hold & Spin Bonus.

Choose your stake by using the +/- buttons, which are found on either side of the double-arrow spin button.

Select the spin button as soon as you have chosen your stake and want to confirm your selection. This will cause the reels to spin on Chests of Cai Shen slot online.

Winning lines will be highlighted when the reels cease spinning. A winning line is made up of 2-5 of the Cai Shen Symbols or 3-5 of any other matching symbols appearing on the gameboard. To be considered a winning line, the lines must start on Reel 1, working from left to right across adjacent reels on a payline.

View the payouts by opening the Paytable via the “i” button. All Chest of Cai Shen payouts will reflect the current bet. Payouts for winning combinations on more than 1 payline will be added together. The total will be presented as the cumulative win for the spin.

The Wild Symbol is a substitute, replacing all other paying symbols to create winning lines on the game’s reels. Chest of Cai Shen Wild Symbols will always make the best possible winning combinations with other symbols. Please note that Wild Symbols cannot substitute for the Bonus Coin or Money Symbols.

There are 3 types of Bonus Coin Symbols: Green (Prosperity), Red (Double) and Purple (Longevity). Bonus Coin Symbols landing on the reels may randomly trigger their corresponding Chest Feature. A combination of Chest Features may be triggered if more than 1 Bonus Coin Symbol lands on the reels.

All 3 Chest Features are played as Hold & Spin Bonus Games (Chest Respin feature). Only Money Coin Symbols may land on the reels. The Money Coin Symbols have a value of 0.6X to 30X the total bet or display Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpots. You will start with a set number of Lives (Spins). Landing any additional Money Symbols on the reels will see that symbol lock in place and reset the Spin Counter to the starting value. Keep playing until you run out of Lives or all positions on the reels have been filled with Money Symbols. You will win the value of all Money Symbols on the reels. If all 15 spots on the reels are filled with Money Symbols, you will also win online Chest of Cai Shen’s Grand Jackpot.

Each Chest Feature applies a special upgrade to Chest of Cai Shen’s Hold & Spin Bonus.

Prosperity (Green Bonus Coin) – Start with 3 Lives. Up to 3 Money Symbols that are locked on the reels will have their cash values increased on each Spin.

Double (Red Bonus Coin) – Start with 3 Lives. The Hold & Spin Bonus is played on 2 sets of reels, each independent of the other. You will win all the values of the Money Symbols on both reels at the end of the Chest Feature. Filling 1 set of reels with the Money Symbols will award 1 Grand Jackpot. Filling both sets of reels with the Money Symbols will award the Grand Jackpot twice.

Longevity (Purple Bonus Coin) – Start with 4 Lives. You will start with an extra Spin on the Spins Counter. The Spin Counter will reset to 4 each time 1 or more Money Symbols land on the reels.

Triggering a combination of Chest Features will award the Hold & Spin Bonus with each enhancement. For example, trigger Longevity and Double to play with 2 sets of reels and 4 Lives for each. You can trigger all 3 Chest Features at once to play with all enhanced features.

Online Chest of Cai Shen Jackpot Values are:
Mini = 10X Total Bet

You can use the Bonus Buy buttons to purchase a Chest Feature or the Triple Chest Feature (triggering all 3 – Prosperity, Double & Longevity). Make your selection and confirm when prompted. The cost of the Bonus Buy will be debited from your balance.

Buy Chest Feature = 50X Total Bet. A spin is played that guarantees 1 of the Chest Features – Prosperity, Double or Longevity – will be awarded for the Hold & Spin Bonus.

Buy Triple Chest Feature = 100X Total Bet. A spin is played that guarantees all 3 Chest Features will be awarded for the Hold & Spin Bonus.
