How To Play Jin Ji Bao Xi?

To play Jin Ji Bao Xi on Casino Plus, log in, open the slot lobby, select Jin Ji Bao Xi, set your bet with the plus and minus controls, and press Spin. The game is a five-reel, three-row slot by Light & Wonder (formerly SG Digital) that pays on 243 ways rather than fixed paylines. Its main attraction is the Endless Treasure feature: landing six or more Coin symbols locks them in place and awards respins that can lead to one of four jackpots, including the Grand.

This guide explains each part of the game in the order you will meet it, from the first spin to the jackpot screen, and lists the figures you should confirm in the paytable before playing for real money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Jin Ji Bao Xi?

Jin Ji Bao Xi (金鸡报喜) translates roughly as "the golden rooster announces good fortune." The online version most operators carry, including Casino Plus, is Jin Ji Bao Xi: Endless Treasure, part of the Duo Fu Duo Cai family of Asian-themed slots developed by Light & Wonder, the provider behind 88 Fortunes and Dancing Drums.

The game uses a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win. Symbols include a golden rooster, gold ingots, lucky coins, a Fu Bat, and the standard A-K-Q-J-10 card ranks styled in red and gold. The rooster is the top-paying regular symbol, and the Coin symbol drives the bonus feature described below.

Because it shares a family with 88 Fortunes, players sometimes confuse the two. The key difference is the bonus: 88 Fortunes uses a Fu Bat pick-and-reveal jackpot game, while Jin Ji Bao Xi uses a lock-and-respin feature where coins carry cash values and jackpot tags directly on the reels.

How Do You Start Playing Jin Ji Bao Xi on Casino Plus?

Casino Plus is a PAGCOR-licensed online casino, so you will need a verified account before you can place a real-money bet. The steps are the same on desktop and mobile:

Register or log in to your Casino Plus account.
Complete identity verification if prompted; it is required before withdrawals.
Deposit using one of the listed local payment methods.
Open the Slots section and search for "Jin Ji Bao Xi."
Tap the game tile to load it, then tap the information (i) icon to read the paytable before your first spin.

The game runs in the browser, so no download is required. On a phone, it switches to portrait or landscape automatically and keeps the bet controls at the bottom of the screen.

How Do the Reels, Symbols, and 243 Ways Work?

With 243 ways, you win when the same symbol appears on at least three adjacent reels starting from reel one, in any row. There are no payline patterns to memorize. The game counts every combination of positions that connects matching symbols left to right, so a full screen of one symbol pays 243 separate ways.

Three symbols have special roles:

Wild: substitutes for every regular symbol but not for the Coin or Bonus symbols.
Coin: lands with a cash value or a jackpot name printed on it; six or more trigger the Endless Treasure feature.
Bonus (scatter): triggers free games when enough appear in one spin.

All way wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier, not by the total bet, which is why reading the paytable values alongside your bet setting matters.

How Do You Set Your Bet?

The bet panel shows one total bet figure. Use the plus and minus buttons to move through the available bet steps; the game recalculates the way-win values and the jackpot amounts as you change it. The four jackpots scale with the bet, so the Grand shown at the minimum bet is smaller than the Grand shown at the maximum.

Autoplay lets you set a number of spins and a loss limit. Use the loss limit; it is the simplest responsible-gaming tool built into the game.

How Does the Endless Treasure Feature Work?

The Endless Treasure feature is the reason most players choose this slot. It works like this:

Land six or more Coin symbols anywhere on the grid in one spin.
The triggering coins lock in place and the other positions spin on their own.
You receive three respins. Each new Coin that lands also locks and resets the counter to three.
The feature ends when you use up three respins without a new Coin, or when all 15 positions are filled.
Every locked coin pays its printed cash value or the jackpot it names, added together at the end.

Coin values are expressed as multiples of the bet, so the same coin pays more at a higher bet. The feature does not change the odds of hitting a jackpot; it simply reveals the values already assigned to the coins that land.

How Do the Four Jackpots Pay?

Jin Ji Bao Xi has four fixed jackpots named Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand. Three of them are awarded by coins during the Endless Treasure feature: any coin can display Mini, Minor, or Major, and collecting it adds that jackpot to your total. The Grand is awarded when you fill all 15 positions on the grid with coins before the respins run out.

These are fixed, bet-scaled jackpots rather than progressive pools, so the amount on screen is exactly what you receive, and no other player's spins affect it. Check the jackpot values displayed above the reels at your chosen bet before you decide on a stake.

How Do Free Games Work?

Landing the required number of Bonus symbols in a single spin awards free games. The exact count and the number of spins are shown on the paytable for the version Casino Plus hosts, so confirm them there rather than relying on a general figure. During free games, the Endless Treasure feature can still trigger, and any coins that land are collected at the same bet level as the spin that started the bonus.

Free games cannot be purchased; there is no bonus-buy option in this title.

What Should You Check in the Paytable Before Spinning?

Slot providers release several RTP settings and operators choose one, so the figure on a review site may not be the figure in your game. Before playing for real money, open the information panel inside the Casino Plus version and note:

RTP: the theoretical return to player shown for this exact build.
Bet range: the minimum and maximum bet available on Casino Plus.
Jackpot values: the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand amounts at your bet.
Free games rules: the Bonus symbol count and spins awarded.
Max win: the highest payout cap stated by the provider.

Taking two minutes to read these figures protects you from the most common mistakes: playing a bet level whose jackpots are lower than expected, or assuming an RTP that applies to a different version.

Is There a Strategy for Jin Ji Bao Xi?

No betting pattern changes the outcome of a spin. Jin Ji Bao Xi uses a certified random number generator, and the number of coins that land is independent of previous spins, the time of day, or how long you have been playing. What you can control is your budget and your bet size.

Practical habits that help: decide a session limit before you open the game, use the autoplay loss limit, and treat jackpots as a possible bonus rather than a goal. Casino Plus provides deposit and session limits in the account settings; set them before you start, not after.

Promotions on Casino Plus can add value to a session, but read the wagering terms first. Bonus funds often exclude certain games or carry playthrough requirements that change how long your deposit lasts.
