By Shane Addinall Feb 01, 2020 Game ReleaseExperience the wealth and entertainment of Habanero’s new Fa Cai Shen Deluxe slot. This high variance reboot of a 2016 slot machine is played on 6-reels with a cluster pays ways-to-win system that allows for wins in excess of €144,400.Habanero has breathed new life into their fan-favourite Chinese wealth slot Fa Cai Shen with the release of Fa Cai Shen Deluxe. The name of the slot literally means God of Wealth and the slot machine lives up to its name with the addition of cluster pays, the ability to wager up to €1400 per spin and the chance of winning more than €144,400 on a single spin!
Soothing Traditional Chinese Setting
Habanero has placed their new Fa Cai Shen Deluxe slot machine in a Chinese garden where you are soothed by the dulcet tones of traditional Chinese music while cherry blossoms drift down around a serene smiling Fa Cai Shen.
The 6x5 game grid is populated with a series of Chinese themed symbols. The smiling Fa Cai Shen is the games Wild symbol while the classic golden Gift is used as the Scatter symbol.
The 6 high-value symbols are a Chinese Dragon, triple Gold Coins, a lucky Koi, a Money Tree, a lucky Knot and a Jade ring. Landing a cluster of 6 Dragon symbols will reward you with more than 103x your bet.
The games low-value symbols are slightly stylised versions of the A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 playing card symbols. With the theme of the slot, this feels like a lost opportunity to delve deeper into Chinese myth and legends in search of uncommon symbols.
Dragon Sized Wins
What makes Fa Cai Shen Deluxe interesting mechanically is the decision by Habanero to build their latest high variance video slot as a 6-reel 5-row game that forgoes fixed paylines in lieu of a horizontal and vertical cluster pay system.
Winning payouts still require that you connect 3-6 matching symbols on the reels, however, wins do not require the first symbol on the reels to be on the first reel. Plus, the symbols can connect vertically on the same reel and the win will still be triggered. Finally, a symbol in a winning horizontal line can also be part of a winning payline that runs vertically which allows for L-shaped, T-shaped and +-shaped winning combinations.
Fa Cai Shen also offers a betting system that allows you to set your coin size (0.01-5) and your bet level (1-10) with a predetermined 28 bet lines. This means that you can enjoy Fa Cai Shen Deluxe for as little as €0.28 per spin, and push that to an astronomical €1400 per spin when you decided to challenge the fates.
Fa Cai Shen Deluxe features two in-game big wins. The first is €123,200 for landing a 6-symbol cluster of Scatter symbols and the second is €144,400 for landing a 6-symbol Dragon cluster while spinning at max bet.
✓Wilds
The Fa Cai Shen Wild symbol comes with its own exciting feature set. First off, up to three Wild symbols can appear on the reels at any given time, however, they will never land adjacent to one another due to their expanding feature.
Once the reels have stopped spinning, any Wild on the reels will expand to cover three of the available spots on the reel it appeared on. Should the only three matching symbols on the reels be the three Wild symbols it will act as its own winning payline.
In addition to paying out handsomely for landing them in winning cluster, Scatter symbols are the triggers for the Free Spins feature. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters will award you 8, 18, 28 or 88 Free Spins!
To add an extra layer of excitement, each free game you play during this feature is guaranteed to see 2x Fa Chai Shen Wild symbols appear on the reels. The only caveat is that they will never be adjacent to one another. This will allow for 2 of the games 6 reels to become filled with expanded Wilds.
Finally, before the start of any randomly selected free game up to 24 symbols will transform into a new matching high-value symbol. This combined with the Wilds could see you claiming massive wins.
A Glorious Reboot
Fa Cai Shen Deluxe is an interesting reboot of the 2016 Fa Cai Shen only with bigger win potential and the more exciting cluster pays system for accumulating wins. If you are a fan of Chinese themed slots and enjoyed the original slot, then Fa Cai Shen Deluxe is a must-play slot. Keep in mind that the slot has some insane bet levels and is highly volatile, please manage your budget carefully.
