Cai Fu Long

HOW THE ADVANTAGE WORKS:

• In Cai Fu Long, players collect coins that lock on the reels for three spins. Each additional coin that lands will reset the spin counter to three. Collecting six coins will trigger a hold & spin feature. If six coins are not collected, all of the locked coins will turn wild on the final spin.

Additional notes​

• Cai Fu Long is similar to Aztec Adventures / Wu Wu Coins but has some important differences. In Cai Fu Long, the coins always turn wild on the final spin, while in Aztec Adventures / Wu Wu Coins, the coins only turn wild if a pyramid symbol lands. Additionally, in Cai Fu Long, the rules state that there are less coins per reel when zero coins are locked, the most coins per reel when one to four coins are locked and the least coins per reel when five coins are locked. In Aztec Adventures / Wu Wu Coins, there are the most coins per reel when zero to two coins are locked, less coins per reel when there are three or four coins locked and the least coins per reel when five coins are locked.
  
• The game’s rules state, “Playing a Bonus Boost bet doubles the chance of triggering the Free Spins bonus.” But the rules also state, “Different reels are used when playing a Bonus Boost bet.” The RTP is likely the same between the bet levels within the same denomination, so even though the bonus is twice as likely to hit in the Bonus Boost bets, the line hits and bonus payouts are likely better in the non-Bonus Boost bets to even things out. My conclusion from this is to play the Bonus Boost bets slightly more aggressively.
  
• During the base game, the dragon above the reels may randomly add up to 15 coins to the reels. And during the hold & spin feature, the dragon may randomly add one or two coins to the reels.
  
• The hold & spin feature is difficult to trigger, but it can pay very well.
  
• Even if you don’t get the six coins needed for the hold & spin feature, you can still get some good line hits when the coins turn wild.
  
• The coins only turn wild if the hold & spin feature is not triggered on the final spin. So there are times when you will miss out on some nice potential line hits if you have a bunch of coins in a row and end up triggering the feature instead.

Only one more coin is needed to trigger the hold & spin feature. But even if you don’t trigger the feature here, the three coins in a row will give a nice line hit when the coins turn wild.

This was a solid line hit with the five wild coins on the final spin.
