Qin's Empire: Caishens Temple - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The Qin's Empire: Caishen's Temple slot looks fairly standard at first glance with its five reels, but it is the dramatic black tiger - one of six themed paying symbols alongside four card symbols - that stands out first. Next, you realise that in addition to the 50 paylines, Playtech has given this slot two features that you may be lucky enough to trigger.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Chinese history, culture and mythology are vast topics, so it is no wonder that video slots have tackled them in so many ways. Slot games taking their inspiration from Asia, and China in particular, are fairly common and often use similar imagery. The best ones give it their own twist.

In the case of Qin’s Empire: Caishen’s Temple, we have the reference to Qin, an ancient Chinese dynasty founded by Qin Shi Huang. There is also Caishen, a folk deity associated with prosperity and good fortune who was at his most popular during the Qin dynasty. He is famous for riding a black tiger, carrying a gold rod, and sometimes turning stone into gold. Here he dwells in a typical setting for an Asian slot, with mountains, trees and a temple in the background and lanterns and fu dogs on the reels.

Qin's Empire: Caishen's Temple RTP and variance

Every slot machine has an RTP and variance, but not every slot machine tells you what they are. The RTP for the Qin's Empire: Caishen's Temple online slot is 96.46 per cent, which is pretty good, but there is no official variance. This makes the free demo version here at Slots Temple even more important, as it enables you to get a feel for the gameplay and payouts without risking your own money.

How to play Qin’s Empire: Caishen’s Temple

Playtech slots are well-designed and have familiar features:

1. The bet adjustor opens automatically when you load the game. Use the plus and minus symbols to pick a sensible level.
2. If you need to adjust your bet during the game, the button floats on the right. Also on the right is the turbo button.
3. On the left is an info button that takes you straight to the paytable and features. A help button in the bottom right-hand corner gives you even more information about the game.
4. Also in the bottom right-hand corner is a mute button.
5. There is only one button left. If you click it once, the reels will spin once; if you hold it down, you can set up to 100 automatic spins or let autoplay keep going until you land a feature.
6. It is worth noting that you can’t include a loss or single win limit in autoplay. Always gamble responsibly and remember that timeout and self-exclusion functions are provided to help keep your gaming under control.

Bet & win sizes

As in all slot games, you can’t play without making a bet. The coin value can be anywhere between 0.01 and 50.00, meaning a total bet of 0.10 to 500.00.

Also common to most video slots is having to match consecutive symbols across a payline to win. If you want the best payouts, you need a combination of five:

• Jack, queen, king, ace, lantern = 10
• Fu dog = 15
• Frog = 20
• Pot = 25
• Black tiger = 40 
• Scatter = 50 

Max-win 2,000x

Qin’s Empire: Caishen’s Temple bonus features

It has to be said that modern video slots can do a lot more with their bonus features than we could have dreamt of just a few years ago. We have seen it in the Jammin Jars slot, and we see it here:

Free games

You need three temple symbols to trigger nine free games, and you can retrigger this feature. During the free games round, the Caishen symbol, which serves as the wild, will expand to fill an entire reel. You also have the opportunity to trigger the Qin’s Empire feature.

Qin’s Empire

This is triggered by five cauldron symbols. Jade cauldrons unlock one screen first, then collect more jade cauldrons for the second, third and fourth. Gold cauldrons unlock all four at once.

Qin’s Empire is a hold and win-style feature. You are awarded three respins, during which you collect cauldrons. At the end of the round, the cauldron values are added together for your total prize. Potential values range from 1 to 50 or could be the mini, minor or major jackpot. Collect all 15 cauldrons to trigger the grand bonus.

Qin's Empire: Caishen's Temple review: our verdict

As we approach the end of our Qin's Empire: Caishen's Temple slot review, it is time to review everything that makes this game stand out and the few details that could be improved. It is a vivid and exciting depiction of the legend of Caishen, although a lot of the imagery is stuff we have seen in other slot games. The hold and win-style feature is particularly thrilling and this slot is well worth a spin.
