If you’re firing up Chests of Cai Shen Infinity, you need to know one thing first: this game is all about the Hold & Win feature. Stripping away traditional free spins entirely, the developers have put all their eggs in one basket. The real money relies entirely on landing coins inside designated multiplier zones before your respin counter hits zero.
It’s a bold design choice, but does it actually pay off?
The Base Game: Prepare for a Grind
The base game here mostly exists to feed the bonus. Played across a standard 5×3 board with 25 fixed paylines, the paytable is deliberately shallow. Even with Cai Shen himself as the top-paying symbol, most three- and four-of-a-kind hits won’t even cover your stake.
You’ll see gold wilds land on the back four reels, but because they don’t carry any multipliers of their own, they don’t do much heavy lifting. During my test session, my best base-game hit involved three wilds stacked down the middle of the board. It connected a dozen lines at once, and my reward? A whopping 2.88x my bet.
Instead of chasing line hits, you’re really just watching for bonus coins (green, blue, red, and purple) to fly up into the matching chests above the grid. Keep in mind, this is the classic “collection pot” setup, and the chests don’t fill toward anything. There isn’t a set number of coins that guarantees a trigger; it’s completely random. I had several spins where three coins dropped, flew into their chests, and the spin just ended. You just have to wait for the RNG gods to cooperate.
The Chest Respin
When the Chest Respin does finally trigger, the game completely redeems itself. The regular symbols clear off, and what’s left is money coins and empty cells.
The color of the coins that triggered your bonus determines which modifiers you get to take into the round:
- Green (Prosperity): Randomly upgrades the value of up to three coins on the board.
- Blue (Fulfillment): Draws four multiplier zones across the grid.
- Red (Double): Splits the action so you’re playing on two separate grids at once.
- Purple (Longevity): Gives you 4 respins instead of the standard 3.
The Make-or-Break Mechanic: Fulfillment Zones
The blue Fulfillment zones are the absolute beating heart of this slot. These zones carry multipliers ranging from 2x up to a massive 100x. But that multiplier only applies if every single cell within the zone is filled with a coin.
If you leave even one cell blank, the coins inside that zone only pay their face value. It reminds me a bit of Betsoft’s The Queen of Social Media, but I prefer this execution. In that game, multipliers can easily land on empty squares. Here, the zones won’t miss a coin, but the tension of needing that one last symbol to complete a 100x zone is nail-biting.
Stacking Upgrades for Big Wins
As the third release in this series, the game holds steady with a solid 96.50% RTP and a 15,000x max win. But the addition of the “Double” grid modifier is what makes the math really sing, especially because the modifiers compound.
During one of my natural triggers, I managed to land Prosperity, Fulfillment, and Double all at once.
The round lasted for about a dozen spins. One grid completely bricked, failing to complete any zones and paying out a sad 17x. But the second grid filled both a 5x and a 4x zone. Because the Prosperity modifier upgrades coin values before the zone multipliers are calculated, it turned 15.35x worth of raw coin value into a massive payout.
The Verdict: How to hit the 15,000x Max Win
So, how do you actually cap this game out? It’s all about the jackpots hitting inside completed zones. You’ve got a Mini (10x), Minor (20x), and Major (150x), plus a Grand prize of 5,000x if you manage to fill all 15 positions on a grid.
Because the game multiplies jackpot coins just like standard coins, the ultimate dream scenario isn’t filling the screen with tiny amounts, it’s landing a 150x Major coin inside a completed 100x zone.
Final Thoughts: Chests of Cai Shen Infinity doesn’t do a balanced, steady trickle of base-game wins. It asks for patience. What it does give is a Hold & Win round with a real high-volatility chase in it, built around completing multiplier zones.
Pros
- Modifiers stack together for massive potential.
- Fulfillment zones create genuine tension.
- Solid 96.50% RTP and 15,000x max win.
Cons
- Base game payouts are incredibly low.
- Collection chests can feel frustrating since triggers are totally random.
