Theme and Graphics

Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches is one of the more scaled-backed Thunderkick slots, in terms of aesthetics. It hasn’t got a crazy theme like Pink Elephants or unusual graphics like Esqueleto Explosivo; it’s just a simple slot based on the legend of Jin Chan (which translates to Money Frog).

The story of Jin Chan is an ancient Chinese legend about a frog who helps a man become a diety. Today, the money frog is a popular feng shui item that brings luck and success to its owners.

In Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches, the graphics are beautifully designed, as the game takes place in a Chinese temple that is adorned with all sorts of legendary creatures. Symbols include koi fish, pelicans and full moons – all rendered in a watercolour style.

How to Play Jin Chan’s Pond of Treasure

Jin Chan’s Pond of Treasure is simple to boot up and get playing:

1. Once the game loads, click on the menu button in the lower left-hand corner and then the trophy symbol to review the payouts and the bonuses.
2. Adjust your bet size. Wagers between .10 coins and 100 coins are available.
3. Have a look at your autoplay options by clicking the button next to the spin button.
4. Hit the spin button and have fun!

RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches is 94.27%. This is a bit disappointing, as it is much lower than the industry average which tends to range from 96% to 96.5%. Even previous Thunderkick releases were known for having very high RTPs, like 1429 Uncharted Seas with a whopping 98.5%.

This is a high volatility online slot. So, while you won’t cash in on prizes very often, the payouts you do earn can be very generous.

How to Win

Landing three or more matching symbols on any of the game’s 15 paylines will provide you with prizes. The toad is the most generous symbol in the game, providing a top prize of 50x of a five-of-a-kind combination – but the top prize overall is 10,000x.

The substitution symbols in Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches are multiplier wilds. The multiplier will depend on which reel the wild lands on.

Jin Chan's Pond of Riches Free Spins and Bonuses

When you land three scatter or more scatters, you’ll trigger the free spins round. The number of free spins you receive will depend on the number of scatters:

• 3 scatters for 8 free spins
• 4 scatters for 12 free spins
• 5 scatters for 16 free spins

During the bonus round, all of the scatters are collected. Each single scatter triggers an additional free spin and every third scatter adds a wild symbol randomly to the reels.

There is also the Sticky Respin feature, triggered by any win during the free spins round. All winning symbols will be locked in place and the rest of the reels will spin. This will continue until no more symbols join the winning combination.

Overall Review

Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches might not seem like a very feature-rich online slot, but there’s plenty going on here to hold your interest. The base games’ multiplier wilds offer up impressive winning potential, while the combination of scatter collection and sticky respins in the free spins bonus provides you with the chance to land some very generous prizes.

The only big letdown in this slot is the low RTP. It’s very rare to see slots with payout percentages that are less than 95, and it’s really surprising that it’s a Thunderkick slot offering a return of just 94.27%.
