Developed by Microgaming and All41 Studios, Ingots of Cai Shen is an East Asia themed slot machine game which revolves around streaks of respins. The design is attractive and the visuals are vibrant. The game plays out on red reels overseen by a smiling cartoon character of Cai Shen in a traditional Chinese costume, holding a bowl shaped Ingot which are symbols on the reel.
Ingots of Cai Shen has 5 x 3 reels and gives players 243 ways of winning that pays out when you match at least 3 symbols of the same kind in any row, on adjacent reels from the left.
Payouts can potentially be high as you are able to win 10 x the stake per line at most. Some other features include scatters, respins and free spins with nudges. For example, unlock the Cai Shen bonus symbol to increase the number of winning combinations. The bonus symbols can also unlock up to 3 x on the reels.
There are also 4 fixed jackpots which are triggered by the main bonus game. The Mega jackpot has a prize of 1000 x your stake at the end of the respin feature, whilst others are at 250 x, 50 x and 25 x the stake. Ingot can also help trigger one of the fixed jackpots or give its own prizes. Likewise, have scatters which can get you access to 8 free spins and an additional nudge can be possible where a couple of Gold Ingots can show up triggering more respins.
The RTP is 96% which means that the game has high volatility and gives back a fair amount of that is wagered.
