Zen Zen Cash Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Zen Zen Cash review: introduction

Rarely have we come across a slot that brims with so many bonus features! If you are looking for variety, you are going to love Zen Zen Cash. Free spins are available alongside wilds and jackpot wins, but the big standout feature is linking reels.

This mechanic is fantastically original. We will talk about it in more detail later, but suffice to say it involves substituting symbols that can form brand new combinations. It is unusual to come across a totally unique feature in any online slot, but NetGame Entertainment has managed this with Zen Zen Cash.

The standard gameplay is also compelling. A fortune cookie, lantern, koi and some oranges promise the biggest payments, followed by the familiar playing card symbols. Zen Zen Cash includes a mind-boggling 243 paylines, so you can’t really ask for many more opportunities to win!

You can try Zen Zen Cash and other NetGame Entertainment demo slots right here at Slots Temple.

Theme, graphics & design

The fairy tale setting of this Asian inspired slot  has the quality of a dream. An ancient Chinese city glows dimly in the background, with lanterns and candles flickering softly. The spires and homes are certainly beautiful, but it is the koi pond occupying the bottom part of the screen that commands attention.

Fish swim this way and that through the water, with a pair of children playing nearby. One of the children even clutches a koi, while the other holds a golden fortune cookie. The aesthetic is magical and a little surreal.

A stirring sitar soundtrack helps with the atmosphere. It is an intricate tune with a hint of mystery and, just like everything else in the slot, has a dreamlike quality.

Zen Zen Cash RTP and variance

NetGame Entertainment hasn’t provided the RTP and variance figures, although we do know that the top win on Zen Zen Cash is 1,000x. This isn’t the biggest win around and probably won’t satisfy glory-hunting players, but winning it will still be a challenge.

How to play Zen Zen Cash

Zen Zen Cash’s animated world can be a little distracting as you try to work out how to play, but this guide should help:

1. Start with the red and gold information button. The paytable, paylines and a guide to bonuses can all be viewed here.

2. Close the menu and look for the bet control box at the bottom of the screen. Bets are easily adjustable via the - and + icons.

3. Turbo spin can be enabled, which will help you to speed through the rounds.

4. Autoplay is also on offer. The maximum number of spins is 1,000; alternatively, you can set the reels to spin indefinitely. With no win/loss limits, it is more vital than ever to watch your balance.

5. Decide how much you are willing to spend on this playthrough.

6. Tap the central spin icon to begin.

Bet & win sizes

Zen Zen Cash features a minimum bet of 0.40 and a maximum of 40. You can adjust these totals on the control panel in the lower portion of the screen. The golden fortune cookie is fittingly responsible for the highest single line win of 20x. The full paytable for five matching symbols is as follows:

- Fortune cookie = 20x
- Lantern, koi, orange = 12x
- Ace, king = 8x
- Queen, jack, ten, nine = 6x

You won’t find more than 243 paylines available on any slot, so Zen Zen Cash is a leader in this department. Less impressive is the top win of 1,000, but luck will still have to be on your side to get close to this.

Zen Zen Cash bonus features

Bonus hunters will love Zen Zen Cash! From free spins to jackpots, it is all here. Let’s dive in:

- Free spins

You will need a mere three bonus symbols to win 15 free spins. The first reel is always covered with linking symbols during free spins.

- Multiplier wilds

Wilds behave in much the same way as in other slots, substituting for lower value symbols, but there is one crucial difference: wilds in Zen Zen Cash come with multipliers of 1x, 2x and 3x.

- Jackpots

Jackpots always ramp up the excitement, and Zen Zen Cash has four! The mini, minor, major and maxi jackpots are all won via the jackpot pick game, which launches if you manage to land three or more red envelope symbols. From this point, it is as simple as picking jackpot tiles at random. If you manage to match three of the same jackpot size, you will win the corresponding prize.

- Linking reels

Linking reels are Zen Zen Cash’s unique selling point. Each reel contains a set of linking symbols. When a spin is complete, all linking symbols are replaced with a set of randomly selected standard symbols.

Our verdict

NetGame Entertainment has done a fantastic job with Zen Zen Cash. There is absolutely nothing derivative about this game, with everything from the graphics and music to the unique gameplay elements feeling fresh and new.

The linking reels bring a whole new dynamic but are far from the only commendable aspect of Zen Zen Cash. Free spins with additional linking symbols, jackpots and multiplier wilds insure that every spin is heavily incentivised.

Zen Zen Cash looks and plays like a dream. Its mystical setting is matched by some similarly enchanting game mechanics.

We also recommend trying the Fruit Zen slot, which has the same kind of mystical vibe.
