The colourful and predominantly red grid sits over the green roof of a temple with pink cherry blossoms and Cai Shen is seen to the right of the reels. The graphics and artwork are attractive and bring a lot of visual appeal and the soundtrack brings in some elemental and traditional Asian music which brings an immersive feel.

Players may also want to familiarize themselves with the paytable which provides information on the value of each symbol and more detail on the bonus features.
The wild symbol is represented by Fai Cai Shen himself who can appear on up to three reels and substitutes for all the regular symbols with the exception of the scatter, in order to form more favourable winning combinations. Players can earn $500 for a combination of six and this wild also expands to cover 3 positions on the reel before pays are awarded. A golden lamp represents the scatter which pays anywhere and also plays its part in triggering the free spins and carries its own unique payouts which are 88x players bet for a combination of six.
All of the gaming symbols resonate with the elements of wealth and good fortune and offer bonsai trees and dragons which pay out $300 and $400 respectively for a combination of six. They are joined by koi carp fish, chinese coins and golden ingots and jewellery offering medium sized payouts. The low paying symbols are the traditional playing card symbols of 9 through to Ace.
When players land three, four, five or six of the scatters anywhere in view on the reels they are awarded 8, 18, 28 or 88 free spins respectively and here the wild symbol is guaranteed to appear at least twice on each single spin.
