Caishen Gold: Dragon Awakes: Mancala Cascades, Free Spins and Bonus Buy
Caishen Gold: Dragon Awakes is a video slot from Mancala. Its grid has 5 reels and 3 rows crossed by 20 fixed paylines, and wins are read from left to right. The engine is the cascade: winning symbols vanish, fresh ones drop into the gaps, and every new cascade within the same round pushes the win multiplier higher.
Golden dragons under a pagoda roof
Two golden dragons coil around the frame of the reels, which sit beneath a green-tiled pagoda roof. Blue sky, mountains, leafy branches and a second pagoda fill the background. Directly above the grid, a bar labelled MULTIPLIERS holds four boxes marked x2, x3, x4 and x5.
At the top of the paytable is a golden dragon mask. Next come three gold coins tied together with a red ribbon and a golden fish, while the letters A, K, Q and J form the lower tier. Each of these symbols pays for 3, 4 or 5 of a kind. The wild shows a laughing, bearded figure in a red headdress holding up a WILD sign, and it pays the same amounts as the dragon mask. The scatter is a red dragon curled into the shape of an 8 above a green mountain.
How the paylines and cascades work
Each line pays out just its biggest combination, while separate lines that win on the same spin have their amounts summed.
As soon as a combination pays, its symbols clear away and new ones fall to fill the empty cells. The multiplier then depends on how far the chain has gone:
on the opening spin, none;
after the 1st cascade, x2;
after the 2nd, x3;
after the 3rd, x4;
after the 4th and any later one, x5.
The MULTIPLIERS bar tracks that step on screen. In a capture taken just after a win, the winning symbols had left blank cells behind and the x2 box had lit up.
Free Spins, the dragon scatter and Buy Bonus
Land 3 or more scatters on any reels to start Free Spins. Three scatters award 10 spins, four award 12 and five award 14. Scatters that appear during the feature extend it by 3, 4 or 5 spins respectively.
Cascades keep running in Free Spins, only on a steeper scale: the first cascade is worth x3, the second x6 and the third x9, after which the multiplier tops out at x15 for every further cascade. The opening spin of each round still carries no multiplier.
If you would rather not wait for scatters, the BUY BONUS button lets you purchase Free Spins directly in the base game at 17 times your bet.

Free play and real money in Algeria
Like most titles in the 1xBet slot machine catalogue, Caishen Gold: Dragon Awakes can be launched for free. Its trial mode asks for no bet at all, so you can watch the cascades climb the multiplier bar before risking anything. Real-money play runs on an account held in Algerian dinars (DZD).
Autoplay plays a set number of rounds and switches itself off once losses exceed the cap you chose, or as soon as one win matches or beats your single-round ceiling. A separate control quickens the pace of play.
