In Chinese mythology, you'll find a ton of different figures with interesting stories that may or may not make total sense. With the Cashien's Gold video slot, you'll play through a set of characters and themes based on a god of wealth. This comes complete with a fun set of symbols and a beautiful background behind the reels as you play. The soundtrack fits this motif as well, and as a result, you are immersed in the overall environment as you play.
Format and Layout
To promote a high hit-rate in this game, it uses five reels and three rows with the 243-ways/all-ways layout. The way this layout works is that you get winning combinations by lining up matching symbols from left to right on the reels, even if they don't line up in any particular way. Instead of using paylines, as long as the symbols are on the reels from left to right, they can be used to make winning combinations. This makes it easier to get payouts in general, and it also increases the number of multi-line wins you'll get on individual spins.
On each spin, you'll be wagering 38 coins. This is an atypical number for sure, but the reasoning behind it is that the number 8, and virtually all numbers that end in 8, are considered lucky in Chinese culture. You can bet multiples of 38 up to 380, and you can also choose coin values that are worth as much as $0.50 apiece. This puts the minimum cost per spin at $0.38 per turn, which is pretty reasonable, and the maximum is $190. These are definitely atypical betting sizes, but it doesn't affect your gameplay all that much.
Scatter Symbol Payouts and Free Spins
In a game where every normal symbol is a left-to-right scatter, the symbol labeled "scatter" in purple letters is a regular scatter symbol that pays no matter where on the reels it is located. This means you can win a 1,900x win for five of a kind anywhere on the reels along with a 380x payout for four of a kind along the same lines. Three of the gold and red scatter with purple letters anywhere on the game board pays out a solid 190x, and it's worth pointing out that these wins are worth more than they seem because it's so easy to hit them.
You can win a set of 10 free spins for three or more of the scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. You'll get an improved set of symbols during this game where only the wild and the top-tier symbols show up on the reels. This means much better chances to win and larger payouts when you do.
Jackpot Bonus Game
The jackpot bonus game gives you a chance to win one of four different static jackpots. Their current values are listed at the top of the reels like progressive jackpots would normally be. The purple grand symbol is for the 1,000x jackpot, and the red major symbol is for the 100x prize. You can get 50x for the green minor symbol, and the mini jackpot is connected to the blue symbol for 30x. These symbols are the keys to winning one of the four big jackpots in this bonus feature.
You activate the bonus round by getting a wild symbol anywhere on the reels. You'll get a chance to activate the bonus for each wild you get, but it's not guaranteed. When you get the feature, a second screen will appear where you'll try to pick matching symbols. If you match up the symbols for a jackpot, you win it. You're guaranteed to win at least 30 times your total bet size in this feature.
Symbol Set and Payouts
The wild symbol appears on the last four reels and does not have its own payouts. Five of the child on the green background gets you 200x, and 150x is yours for five of the child on the purple background. You can get 125x for five-of-a-kind combinations of the purple flower as well. Five of the blue fans gets you 100x, and five of the mandolin pays 75x. You'll also get 50x for five of the A or K symbol, and it's 25x for five of the Q, J, 10 or 9.
Our Thoughts
With Pragmatic Play's Cashien's Gold slot, they've brought to life a story from Chinese mythology based on a theme that's very relevant to what online slot fans are looking for: the god of wealth. There are some great features in this game, and while the graphics are about average, the gameplay is fast-paced and very solid overall. We think that the static jackpots idea is pretty interesting, and we can't remember seeing this type of presentation for it in any other online slot before, but we do wish the lowest payouts were a bit higher than 25x in the regular game mode.
