Caishen's Cash Pots: Three Pots, One Bonus

Caishen's Cash Pots is a Pragmatic Play slot themed on Caishen, the Chinese god of wealth, who watches over the reels. It runs on two linked systems: Collect symbols on reel five that pay out money symbols in the base game, and three scatter pots above the reels that can start the free spins.

Money symbols carry values of up to 500x in the base game. The bonus changes how they pay, awarding every money symbol that lands on reels 1 to 4, and adds grid multipliers of up to 10x on top.

The result is a game where the base game and the bonus feel quite different. One depends on a single reel, the other pays money symbols wherever they land on the first four reels.

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Caishen's Cash Pots at 96.49%. That is a long-run average over a very large number of spins, not a figure any single session will match.

The Basic Game Info panel on Pragmatic Play's game page shows the RTP only. Volatility, max win, bet range, reel layout and the way wins are counted are not published there, so they are left out here rather than guessed. The in-game information screen is the place to read them.

The values Pragmatic Play does publish are the feature caps: money symbols worth up to 500x in the base game, grid multipliers of up to 10x from the bonus modifiers, and multipliers of up to 5x from the fourth pot that appears during the feature.

In the base game, Collect symbols can land on reel five. When one does, it awards money symbols, with values of up to 500x.

Reel five is the only reel Pragmatic Play names for Collect symbols. That makes the last reel the deciding one in the base game: the money symbols are what pay, and the Collect symbol on reel five is what awards them.

The free spins remove that dependency. During bonus play, all money symbols that land on reels 1 to 4 are paid out, with no Collect symbol needed. That rule change is the biggest single difference between the two halves of the game.

Three pots sit above the reels, one each for phoenix, dragon and tiger scatters. When those scatters land, each is collected into its own pot.

Pragmatic Play describes the trigger as random: the pots can randomly trigger the bonus game. It does not publish a fill target or a number of scatters that guarantees the feature, so a full-looking pot is no promise that free spins are next.

Which scatter starts the bonus matters. Pragmatic Play says that, depending on which scatter activated the bonus, multipliers of up to 10x apply to various grid positions throughout the feature, so the animal behind the trigger shapes where the multipliers fall.

The bonus game opens with 6 free spins and up to three different modifiers. Those modifiers are the source of the grid multipliers of up to 10x that apply to various positions throughout the feature.

Hitting additional scatters during the bonus awards 3 more free spins and activates additional modifiers. A round that starts with one modifier can therefore pick up more, adding both spins and multiplier coverage as it goes.

Pragmatic Play's summary does not say how a grid multiplier interacts with a money symbol on the same position, or whether there is a cap on extra spins. Both are details to confirm in the paytable before reading too much into a single round.

A fourth pot and a fish scatter come into play only during the feature. The fish pot can randomly apply multipliers of up to 5x to grid positions and award 3 additional free spins.

That gives the bonus a second route to more spins, separate from the phoenix, dragon and tiger scatters. Its multipliers top out at half the 10x ceiling of the main modifiers, but it adds spins and multiplied positions at the same time.

Pragmatic Play places the fish pot in the feature only, so in the base game the three original pots are the whole story. In the bonus, the fish joins them as a fourth source of extra spins and multipliers.

The free Caishen's Cash Pots demo on this page uses play credits, so the pots and the Collect feature can be watched with nothing at stake. In the base game, keep an eye on reel five, where Collect symbols land and award the money symbols.

When the bonus starts, note which pot triggered it and how the multipliers spread across the grid, since Pragmatic Play ties their placement to the triggering scatter. Then count the extra scatters and fish symbols that add 3 spins each.

Open the information screen for the RTP, and for the volatility and max win that the game page does not list. A demo shows how the features behave, not what any future spin will pay, and Pragmatic Play states that its content is intended for people aged 18 or over.

What is the RTP of Caishen's Cash Pots?

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Caishen's Cash Pots at 96.49% on its official game page. That is a long-run average across a very large number of spins, so any single session can land well above or below it. The game's information screen shows the RTP of the version you are playing.

How do you trigger the Caishen's Cash Pots bonus?

Phoenix, dragon and tiger scatters are collected in three pots above the reels, and those pots can randomly trigger the bonus game. Pragmatic Play does not publish a set number of scatters that guarantees it. The round starts with 6 free spins and up to three modifiers, and extra scatters add 3 more spins.

What do Collect symbols do in Caishen's Cash Pots?

Collect symbols can land on reel five in the base game and award money symbols, which carry values of up to 500x. In the bonus game the rule changes: every money symbol that lands on reels 1 to 4 is paid out, so the free spins do not rely on a Collect symbol landing.

What multipliers are in Caishen's Cash Pots?

During the free spins, multipliers of up to 10x apply to various grid positions, depending on which scatter activated the bonus, and more modifiers can be added by extra scatters. A fourth pot and a fish scatter also appear in the feature and can randomly apply multipliers of up to 5x and award 3 more free spins.

Can you play the Caishen's Cash Pots demo for free?

Yes. The Caishen's Cash Pots demo on this page runs on play credits, so you can watch Collect symbols on reel five, the three scatter pots and the free spins modifiers without staking money. Use it to check the volatility and max win in the game's information screen, as Pragmatic Play's page does not list them.
