Caishen Gold: Dragon Awakes Guide: Free Spins, Multipliers and Bonus Buy

Built by Mancala, Caishen Gold: Dragon Awakes is a cascading slot whose 5×3 grid carries 20 fixed paylines, all paying left to right. Every winning combination clears away so that new symbols can tumble in, and each cascade in the round lifts the win multiplier one step.

Inside a single round

When the reels stop, winning combinations are paid across the 20 lines. The wild can take the place of any symbol apart from the scatter. The symbols behind those wins then disappear, and others slide down to take their place.

That is where the multiplier comes in. The first result of the round is paid without one; after that, the first cascade raises the win to x2, the second to x3, the third to x4, and every later cascade stays at x5.

Your stake is locked for the whole round and cannot be changed while it is under way.

Free Spins with multipliers from x3 to x15

The scatter has no payout of its own and exists to open the bonus round. You need at least three anywhere on the reels: 3 scatters give 10 Free Spins, 4 give 12 and 5 give 14.

During those spins the cascade mechanic is unchanged, but the ladder is far steeper: nothing on the first result, then x3, x6, x9 and finally x15 from the fourth cascade on. Bonus games keep whatever stake was used on the spin that triggered them.

Instead of waiting for scatters, you can buy the round from the base game: the Buy Bonus option costs 17 bets.

There is no RTP figure here, as the studio publishes several RTP versions of the game. The Mancala games page gathers the rest of the developer's catalogue, and every other supplier is listed in the studio directory.

Gold mask, knotted coins and a red dragon

The setting is a pagoda topped with green tiles, wrapped by two golden dragons, with mountains, clear sky and foliage behind it. In one corner of the screen, a star decorates the BUY BONUS button.

Among the symbols, the golden dragon mask pays the most, ahead of the three gold coins bound with a red ribbon and the golden fish; J, Q, K and A make up the bottom of the paytable. The wild, a cheerful bearded figure in red headwear holding a WILD sign, shares the mask's payouts. The scatter is a red dragon tracing an 8 above a green mountain, set in a gold frame.
