Fans of oriental and Chinese-themed online slots should add one more to the list of games to try out with the release of Playtech’s brand new Zhao Cai Jin Bao. Of all the oriental slots we’ve played, this is possibly the one which makes the most effort with the theme and to begin with we should explain what the title of the game means.
Zhao Cai Jin Bao is a polite term used during a traditional Chinese meal for example – it translates as “attract wealth and treasures” and is related to particular ingredients of the food.
Enough Chinese culture though and this beautifully looking slot features just nine paylines and five reels. The design is Chinese throughout and the reels are set in an ornate frame behind which is an orange-tinted mountain view.
The lower value symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A but each has something Chinese added as an accessory. Higher value symbols are artfully drawn animals such as fish and dragons and there’s a dragon’s head which will win you 5000x your line bet for five in a row.
The scatter symbol is a golden hat while the wild symbol is a cheery-looking Chinese nobleman.
Bonus Features
To tell the truth we’re a bit short of bonus features here and that’s an unusual thing in a five reel slot. This is a game for those slots purists who appreciate the reels spinning with nothing extra added.
There is one small feature and that’s the scatter symbol which will payout when it makes a winning combo from left to right or right to left. Only two are necessary in adjacent rows to make a win so this happens fairly regularly in our experience.
Zhao Cai Jin Bao Online Slot Playing Tips
This game suits low rollers – you can play with just £0.01 per spin and still hit the scatters quite regularly. High rollers will appreciate the opportunity to splurge £900 per spin.
Verdict
This is a great looking slot which dispenses with the added extras that are considered so vital these days and comes up trumps with a very playable game. Keep the sound on for some relaxing Chinese music.
