Cai Hong Slots
Cai Hong slot looks and plays like a giant smile across the face of someone Chinese, and gives you just as much cultural relevance as a caricature like this implies! Being an odd game with an odd amount of enthusiasm and a strange look to the art style, aside from the title image, you could actually be forgiven for even knowing that this was an Asian themed game! The user interface of course does have nods to that, but there is basically nothing about this game that is going to tell you a whole lot about it aside from the lead character. This makes it somewhat unique, and somewhat hilarious at the same time!
This game is by no means bad, but is one of those games that does manage to be so strange that it goes from bad to funny all in one fell smile! Thankfully, the gameplay does not disappoint, and there are ample bonus modes and jackpots to keep things interesting. One title feature of the game is that you can win 50,000 times any bet that you make, which is heads and shoulders over the rest of the competition out there all around, including on most of the games featured on this website!
We never thought we would say that if you love animals you will love a Chinese themed game like this, but that's the truth. They somehow took an enthusiastic take on the animal kingdom, combined it was some rainbows and smile's, and ended up with something that looks really strange when ripped out of its cultural context, but manages to put a smile on your own face for that very reason!
What is This Slot About?
This game is all about the animals that are featured in zodiac culture, which we assume have some sort of zodiac relevance, despite the game not giving a whole lot of nods to that. The god of wealth is also present, which when combined with them, makes for an odd pairing that we would never think to look for in an online game. You will note the god of wealth obviously by caring many bowls of gold, and the animals are very cute and cuddly as well, while at the same time being done in a strangely realistic art style. It all looks very zany over the top of a rainbow, and we can't help but smile when we look at it!
How Does the Game Actually Play?
This game plays very well, entirely inline with the theme which is based around wealth itself. Although much of it is standard fare that you are used to from real time gaming, we say that in a good way, because those are some of our favorite games! Although there are nice games out there that do innovate just a little bit, such as Asgard, this game keeps it very familiar and becomes more immersive for that reason. Along side the betting amounts that can be gotten into for as little as a penny, and 30 pay lines, this game manages to be just good enough to keep you interested for long play sessions. One thing that we do love about the game when compared to others is that they out right have a free spins feature, which comes up far more often then bonus modes tend to in more complicated games.
As for the specifics of the images that you will be looking out for here to match, they are many and varied. The best one is obviously the god of wealth himself, but there is also a lovely rainbow, and all manner of animals. Some of these animals include a bunny rabbit, a tiger, we think that's a tiger not a lion mind you, a rooster, and some kind of bear or a Pomeranian. They all look very cute, and you'll have to take our word for it on them, because we are not the most well-versed with it comes to wildlife when they are this cuddly!
How's it Look?
This game is fun to look at because of the wide variation of images put together, and the relative lack of artistic cohesiveness present. The rainbows, the smiles, the animals, and the smiling Chinese man all come together in a hilarious way fit for a late night TV network like Adult Swim. This may or may not be what they were going for, but it's what we ended up with, and we enjoy it quite a bit!

Who is the Ideal Audience of this Particular Slot?
This game will go over well if you are a bit tipsy or have something in your system to that effect. It is a great game to look at when you aren't all that sober because of how strange it all looks, and the many thoughts that will be going through your head whenever you see the smiling faces, animals, and many rainbows. It is also suited for people that like Asian things, but not that much. There really isn't all that much Asia to this game, Chinese or otherwise!
Summing it All Up - Should You Play This Fine Game?
Summing it up, Cai Hong Slots is one of the strangest games about Chinese culture that we have ever seen, and we enjoy it for that reason and otherwise! Whether it is the cooky art style, the strange images they slapped together for it, or the skyhigh multipliers, this is a fun time all around, and will scratch the itch just nicely if you are looking for something new, inventive, and just a little bit strange and weird!
