Cai Shen 168 Review

The oriental god of wealth figures in plenty of asian slots, and he takes center stage as a special wild symbol in this Red Tiger release. Cai Shen 168 comes with a typical asian color scheme, dominated by red and golden colors, and you get typical asian-style symbols as well. Nothing seems out of the ordinary until you take a peek under the hood, and discover that Red Tiger has put a proverbial tiger in the tank.

We have seen plenty of asian slots in our time, but few of them can match the solid 19,946x potential you get in Cai Shen 168. Red Tiger rarely goes this high for most of their releases, so the god of wealth must have worked some kind of magic to convince them, perhaps. Either way, the Cai Shen multiplier wild with spreading wild possibilities is the core feature, and the multiplier can be upgraded to x20 in the bonus round.

Cai Shen 168 Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1.5 and 5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the premiums consist of red envelopes, rings, coins, and tiger statues. Wilds play a central part in this game, as we shall see, and their core function is to substitute for pay symbols to help complete wins.

The Cai Shen Wild lands in size 1x2, but it will not always land fully in view. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and you can land up to 3 Cai Shen Wilds in the base game.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, and the triggering scatters move to the middle of the screen. You click all 3 scatters one by one to reveal different rewards, and the leftmost scatter gives you 5, 7, or 10 free spins.

The rightmost scatter gives you a multiplier of x5, x7, or x10, and the middle scatter reveals a random reward from either of the two categories. The multiplier is applied to all Cai Shen wilds during the feature, and the bonus round cannot be retriggered.

Review Summary

Red Tiger has created a fairly standard-looking asian slot with Cai Shen 168, at least at first glance. We were taken a bit by surprise by how engaging the Cai Shen Wild feature could be when it delivers, and spreading wilds and multiplier wilds are tried and tested modifiers that usually don’t disappoint. Fans of the oriental genre will be pleased by the visual experience as well, and you get plenty of bells and whistles.

The Cai Shen Wild can certainly deliver decent payouts in the base game as well, but it really shines when you upgrade it with a solid multiplier in the bonus round.
