Yu Tu Jin Cai: Cash Collect Slot by Playtech

Yu Tu Jin Cai, roughly "jade rabbit, golden fortune," is a Chinese lunar slot in Playtech's Cash Collect range, set in a moonlit village of pagodas and red lanterns under a crescent moon. The 5x3 reels are red and gold, and a white Jade Rabbit is the stacked wild, joined by koi fish, a golden money-turtle and a lotus over royals. As with all Cash Collect games the line pays are modest, because the gold coins are what really matter.

Cash coins land carrying values from 1x up to 25x your bet, but they only pay when the Cash Collect symbol shows up on the fifth reel and sweeps every coin, prize marker and free-games coin off the screen at once. It's the familiar Cash Collect loop, coins building quietly until one collector cashes them all in.

The free games add a nice twist. Blue +N coins collected in the base game open the round, and the number of spins equals the total of the +N values you swept up. Once inside, the Cash Collect can appear on any reel, and here's the moving part: any Cash Collect that lands stays on screen and slides one reel to the left on each following spin, collecting again and again as it travels until it finally exits the board. A well-placed collector can sweep the reels several times over.

Four fixed jackpots round it out, Mini, Minor, Major and a Grand worth 500x, won when a yin-yang prize is collected with a Cash Collect, and they can be won more than once. Because they're fixed rather than networked, they actually pay out in the free Playtech demo. Being honest about the numbers: the certified RTP is 94.91%, on the low side, though some builds run higher, and the published max win is unclear, sources quote anywhere from a few hundred to a couple of thousand times your stake, so check the paytable. As a Chinese New Year demo, the moving-collector free games give it a bit more character than a standard Cash Collect.
