Two special symbols: the multiplier/jackpot-activating symbols is a golden yuanbao ingot beside coins; and the free games scatter is a set of three red-stringed golden Feng Shui coins. No substituting wild.
Eight ordinary symbols: fancy koi fish; Chinese lantern; red-tasseled pair of golden bells; red-stringed golden Ying and Yang lucky charm; and Hanzi-shaped A logogram, K logogram, Q logogram, and J logogram.

Cai Shen’ payouts range from X0.20 to X10. Three A, K, Q, or J pay X0.20; four A, K, Q, or J pay X0.50; and five A, K, Q, or J pay X1.

Two lanterns, paired bells, or lucky charms pay X0.50; three lanterns, paired bells, or lucky charms pay X1; four lanterns, paired bells, or lucky charms pay X2; and five lanterns, paired bells, or lucky charms pay X5. Two koi pay X1, three koi pay X2, four koi pay X4, and five koi pay X10.

Three sets of Feng Shui coins, in the inner reels, offer eight free games; an ingot(s) re-appearing (or its regular appearance) in the first reel wholly repopulate that reel. Ingots on the second to fifth reels either assign bet multipliers (from X2 to X20) at random, or prompt the three average jackpots.

The winnable random jackpots: X25 mini jackpot (from $2.50 to $2500.00); X50 minor jackpot (from $5.00 to $5000.00); and X250 major jackpot (from $25.00 to $25000.00). Fifteen cloned ingots wholly covering the grid yield a X1000 mega jackpot, ranging from $100.00 to $100000.00 (maximum single win).

The advanced Ingots of Cai Shen software: textual cues, HTML5 technology, for desktop/mobile players, quick spin, and 10-100 hands-free spins. Background music: oriental instrumental and drumming. Sound effects: Cai Shen’s sarcastic laughter, screeching, jingling, clinking and crashing cymbal.

These are the animated 3D graphics: confetti-like red envelopes; glowing; lively Cai Shen’s tantrums, including foot tapping and tossing ingot; and golden fireworks.
