Jin Cai Shen: Prosper With the Cherry Blossoms For Up to 168x Multipliers and 8,888x Wins

In Jin Cai Shen by Vivid Gaming, the God of Wealth smiles cheekily down from his cloud while you spin on his 5x3 grid with 243 ways. He has every right to grin, since he can turn golden symbols into wilds, while multipliers climb up to 18x in the base game and up to 168x in up to 10 free spins and wins up to 8,888x your bet.

Given how much luck I had with features and bonus triggers, my base game was unexpectedly weak, with only two or three winning combos in more than 70 spins. The grid runs on tumbles, and every paying symbol has a golden sibling. Clear a golden one away, and it leaves the God of Wealth behind as a wild for everything except the scatter.

As if it was planned in advance, the provider equipped us with a base game feature. Every six cleared symbols push its multiplier a step higher, from 1x up to 18x, with each tumble paid at the current level until the spin ends and it drops back to 1x. 

Any winning combo can also sweep away every symbol of the same and lower rank, and while those don’t pay, they all count toward the next step. I triggered that mechanic three times, and two of those spins paid 29x and 41.7x, with the multiplier reaching 8x both times.

The weak base game stung more because luck smiled at me right away, as I triggered the bonus on my very first spin, and twice more later on. Three, four or five scatters open 6 free spins, with every spin starting at 8x, 18x or 38x, from where the multiplier can climb all the way to 168x. 

Golden symbols on the middle three reels turn wild as soon as they land, and +1 scrolls add spins, up to 10 in total. All three times, my returns came in a hair above 15x my bet, with 12x as my highest multiplier.

Usually, I’m not a fan of playthroughs without base game returns, but these frequent feature and bonus triggers kept my balance in the green at all times. Which means that if the main game had cooperated just a bit more, I would’ve had a highly profitable session.
