Caishen’s Cash Pots

Caishen's Cash Pots is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot developed by Pragmatic Play, released in June 2026. The game is built around the Chinese god of wealth, Caishen, and centers on a multi-pot mechanic where three scatter symbols — Phoenix, Dragon, and Tiger — each fill a dedicated pot above the reels. When enough scatters accumulate, the Free Spins feature can be triggered with up to three active modifiers that apply multipliers across the grid.

The base game revolves around Money symbols, which carry random values up to 500x the base bet. A Collect symbol on reel 5 gathers and pays out all Money symbol values on the screen. During Free Spins, the Collect requirement is removed entirely, and any Money symbol that lands is paid automatically. A fourth scatter — the Fish — also appears exclusively in the bonus round and can boost multipliers further.

The game supports a Bonus Buy option and a Super Spin mode, giving players multiple ways to access the feature directly.

Caishen's Cash Pots draws heavily from Chinese prosperity symbolism. The reels are set against a dark, richly decorated background filled with gold ornamentation, red lanterns, and traditional lucky motifs. The design is dense and opulent, prioritising visual wealth cues over minimalism.

Symbol artwork includes Caishen himself as the top-paying character, accompanied by a young boy, a girl, a lucky cat, and a pot of gold coins — all rendered in a polished illustrated style. Card rank symbols (A, K, Q, J) appear in gold-styled lettering. The Money and Collect symbols are clearly distinguished, and the three scatter symbols — Phoenix, Dragon, and Tiger — are detailed golden animal icons.

Audio follows the theme closely, using traditional Chinese instrumentation with more dynamic tracks activating during the bonus round. The overall presentation is consistent with Pragmatic Play's Asian-themed portfolio.

Caishen's Cash Pots uses a 243 ways-to-win system. Wins are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from reel 1. There are no fixed paylines.

To get started:

• Set your bet using the controls at the bottom of the screen. Stakes range from $0.20 to $240 per spin.
• Select a bet mode: Normal Play (20x multiplier), Ante Bet (60x, increases Free Spins frequency 4x), or Super Spin (400x, activates a different base game mechanic).
• Spin manually or use the autoplay function.
• Access the paytable via the menu to review all symbol values, special symbols, and feature rules.

The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols but cannot replace Scatter, Money, or Collect symbols. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only.

Money Symbol

The Money symbol lands on reels 1–4 and carries a random multiplier value each time it appears. Possible values range from 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 80x, 100x, 200x, or 500x the base bet. Values are assigned at random on each hit.

Collect Symbol

The Collect symbol only lands on reel 5. When it appears alongside one or more Money symbols, the total value of all Money symbols currently visible on reels 1–4 is collected and paid out in a single payout.

Scatter Pots (Phoenix, Dragon, Tiger)

Three scatter symbols — Phoenix, Dragon, and Tiger — each fill their own pot above the reels as they land. When enough have accumulated, the Free Spins feature can be randomly triggered. The scatters that were active at the time of triggering determine which modifiers are applied during the bonus.

Free Spins

The Free Spins round begins with 6 spins. During this feature, the Collect symbol is no longer required — every Money symbol that lands is paid automatically.

Each of the three scatter modifiers applies fixed multipliers to specific reels:

• Phoenix modifier: x2 on reel 1, x3 on reel 2
• Dragon modifier: x3 on reel 2, x5 on reel 3, x3 on reel 4
• Tiger modifier: x3 on reel 5, x2 on reel 4

Multipliers stack with any already in place. If all three modifiers are active simultaneously, an additional x10 multiplier is added to reel 3 on top of any existing values.

During Free Spins, Phoenix, Dragon, and Tiger scatters can still land and randomly award 3 additional free spins, activating any previously inactive modifiers in the process.

Fish Scatter (Free Spins Only)

The Fish scatter appears exclusively during Free Spins. As Fish symbols land, they fill the Fish pot above the reels. When triggered, 3 to 6 random positions on the screen receive a multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 applied to the current position value. Three additional free spins are also awarded. The maximum multiplier a single position can reach is x100,000.

Special Bets

Three bet modes alter base game behaviour:

• Normal Play (20x multiplier): Standard gameplay.
• Ante Bet (60x multiplier): The chance of hitting Free Spins naturally is 4x higher.
• Super Spin (400x multiplier): On every spin, any number of pots can randomly trigger and add multipliers to their associated reels. If the Fish pot triggers, it adds 3, 4, 5, or 6 multipliers of x2, x3, or x5 to random positions. Money symbols are collected without needing a Collect symbol. Scatter symbols cannot land and Free Spins cannot be triggered in this mode.

Bonus Buy

The Free Spins round can be purchased directly from the base game.

• 100x total bet: Triggers Free Spins with 1, 2, or 3 random modifiers active.
• 400x total bet: Triggers Super Free Spins with all 3 modifiers active. The Fish pot is guaranteed to trigger at least once, applying x2, x3, or x5 multipliers to all 15 positions on the screen.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes — Cost: 100x (Free Spins) or 400x (Super Free Spins) total bet.

All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. The maximum number of ways to win is 243. Payouts below are based on a $1.00 reference stake.

Wild: Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter, Money, and Collect. Appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only.

Money: Lands on reels 1–4. Carries a random value between 2x and 500x the base bet.

Collect: Lands on reel 5 only. Triggers collection of all visible Money symbol values.

Scatter symbols (Phoenix, Dragon, Tiger): Fill their respective pots above the reels. Can randomly trigger the Free Spins feature.

Fish Scatter: Appears only during Free Spins. Triggers the Fish pot mechanic when collected.

Wins form when 3 or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels from left to right across the 243-ways grid.

The main win path outside of standard symbol combinations runs through the Money and Collect system. Money symbols accumulate values on reels 1–4, and a Collect symbol on reel 5 triggers a payout for all visible Money values in a single hit.

During Free Spins, this mechanic expands significantly:

• All Money symbols that land are paid without requiring a Collect symbol.
• Per-reel multipliers from active modifiers apply directly to Money symbol values.
• Additional scatters and Fish triggers can layer further multipliers during the round.
• The maximum win is capped at 10,000x the bet.

Caishen's Cash Pots is a remake of Triple Pot Gold by Pragmatic Play, sharing the same core multi-pot and Money symbol structure with an expanded four-pot system and additional Free Spins modifiers added here.

Other related titles in Pragmatic Play's Caishen-themed lineup include Caishen's Gold, Caishen's Cash, and Chests of Cai Shen (plus its sequel). Each title shares the Chinese prosperity theme but differs in its specific bonus mechanics and grid configuration.

Caishen's Cash Pots is a feature-heavy entry in Pragmatic Play's Asian-themed portfolio. The multi-pot scatter system, per-reel multipliers, and the Fish scatter during Free Spins create a layered bonus structure with meaningful variation depending on which modifiers activate. The base game Money and Collect mechanic keeps spins active between bonus triggers.

Medium volatility and a 96.49% default RTP make the game accessible across different playing styles, while the 10,000x max win and Bonus Buy options cater to players looking for more direct feature access. Those already familiar with Triple Pot Gold or similar Pragmatic Play pot-mechanic titles will find the format recognisable, with some added depth from the fourth scatter.
