The Hold-and-Spin With Four Positions

The minimum bet is 0.88. That is not a default or a rounding quirk. IGT has built the entire stake structure of Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi around the number 8, which is a figure associated with luck and prosperity in Chinese culture. The first round number available is 22. In between sit bet levels that most Western players would find unfamiliar, but which signal exactly who this slot was made for and what it is trying to do. It is a 243-way hold-and-spin slot with a progressive Grand jackpot, three fixed jackpots, free spins with multiplier wilds, and a bonus round that can expand across four separate reel positions. The title translates as “May all things go as you wish” and the game is clearly designed to embody that sentiment from the first bet onward.

Game Features

Prosperity Respin Bonus

Landing 6 or more Money Balls anywhere on the reels during standard play or free spins triggers the Prosperity Respin Bonus. The round opens on a new set of reels with four game positions available, each a separate grid that unlocks as Money Balls accumulate. Position 1 is active from the start. If 9 or more Money Balls appear on the triggering spin itself, position 2 activates immediately at bonus start. Otherwise, collecting 9 Money Balls in position 1 during the respins activates position 2, 18 total activates position 3, and 32 total activates position 4.

Each Money Ball locks in place and carries a cash value or a jackpot icon. The icons correspond to Mini, Minor, or Major (fixed at values scaled to your bet) or Grand (a shared progressive that grows from a percentage of all bets placed across all players). Landing 15 Money Balls in a single active position awards the Grand. Three respins are awarded at the start; each new Money Ball landing resets the counter to 3. The round ends when respins run out or all positions fill.

Prosperity Pot

If 1 to 5 Money Balls land during a standard spin without reaching the 6 needed for the bonus, the Prosperity Pot may place additional balls on the reels to make up the difference. This soft safety net makes the bonus more reachable without guaranteeing it. During free spins, the Prosperity Pot places Multiplier Wilds on the reels instead.

Free Spins

Land 3 scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 to trigger 10 free spins. During the round, the Prosperity Pot can place 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x Multiplier Wilds on reels 2 through 5, up to 3 per spin. These can combine for a maximum multiplier of 60x on a single win. Free spins can retrigger up to a total of 60 per bonus. The Prosperity Respin Bonus can also trigger during free spins.

Jackpots

Four jackpot tiers are available. Mini, Minor, and Major are fixed multiples of your coin value, displayed above the reels at your current bet level. The Grand is a shared progressive and shows no fixed value. Its amount grows from a percentage of all bets placed by all players and reflects the live pool at the moment it is won. All four jackpots can be awarded during the Prosperity Respin Bonus, and more than one jackpot can be awarded in a single round.  Hold & Spin, Progressive Jackpot, Fixed Jackpot, Free Spins, Retriggers, Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Money Symbol, Multipliers, Respins

Wild

The standard wild substitutes for all symbols except Money Balls and scatter symbols. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both standard play and free spins.

How to Play

How the Money Ball System Works

Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi pays across 243 ways rather than fixed paylines. Wins form when matching symbols appear in adjacent columns from left to right, starting from column 1. Multiple matching symbols in the same column multiply the number of winning ways, which can significantly increase a payout on a single spin. Only the highest MultiWay win per symbol is paid. Bets run from 0.88 to 88 per spin. The bet structure uses culturally significant numbers throughout. 8 is auspicious in Chinese tradition, and the minimum and maximum bets reflect that. If you want to explore how the four-position bonus unlocks before committing a stake, the free play version runs the full feature set.

Paytable

All figures below are shown at a 0.88 bet. As the paytable scales dynamically, values will vary at other stake levels.

Symbol 5 of a kind 4 of a kind 3 of a kind
Lucky cat 150 50 20
Lotus flower 125 50 20
Elephant 100 30 15
Bamboo 100 30 15
A / K 75 20 10
Q / J / 10 50 10 5

Values are in coins multiplied by your coin value. Money Ball values during the Prosperity Respin Bonus run from 0.50x to 2.50x total bet per ball at minimum stake, with jackpot icons awarding the relevant fixed or progressive prize.

2/5

Ultimate Slots Verdict

Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi is a well-executed hold-and-spin slot that does exactly what it sets out to do and not much beyond that. The four-position bonus is the most interesting structural element in the genre's recent history, the multiplier wild free spins add genuine value, and the cultural attention in the bet design and theming gives it an authenticity many Asian-themed slots lack. The RTP starts at 93.92% when the Grand jackpot resets and rises as the progressive builds. The honest limitation is that the format is not new, the visuals feel ported from land-based rather than designed for online play, and players who have spent time with Aristocrat's Dragon Link will recognise the DNA immediately.

✓ What We Like

  • The four-position bonus is a genuine structural upgrade on the standard hold-and-spin format, with additional grids unlocking mid-round to add a layer of stakes most competitors lack
  • Multiplier wild free spins with combinations up to 60x give the secondary feature real weight alongside the respin bonus
  • Cultural authenticity in the bet structure and theming is noticeable and gives the game a personality that generic Asian-themed slots rarely achieve

✗ What Could Be Better

  • The regular symbol paytable is compressed, so outside the lucky cat, standard combinations tend to pay modestly and the gaps between bonus triggers can feel thin
  • The bonus triggered once across 30 spins with only position 1 active; the full four-position unlock requires a volume of Money Balls that most sessions will not produce
  • Nothing here separates it decisively from others in the hold-and-spin genre; competent execution of a familiar format

Detailed Review

Getting to the Bonus

The game loads into a rich, deep red. Bamboo frames the reels on either side, red lanterns hang at the edges, and the pagoda roof above the jackpot display anchors the layout. The female character on the left is well illustrated rather than generic; the Money Ball animations are clean, and the overall presentation is more polished than the series’ land-based origins might suggest. The soundtrack builds from there, layering Asian drums over the spin loop to give the session a steady pulse without becoming repetitive.

Base play produced regular MultiWay wins, with the wild doing its usual work on the middle reels and stacked symbols occasionally linking up for broader combinations. Nothing dramatic, but enough to keep things moving. Around spin 30, six Money Balls landed on the reels. The trigger animation is more considered than most: the reels shake and tilt from side to side, while Asian fans drift across the screen on the way into the bonus. It is a transition that feels earned.

The Bonus and the Genre

The four-position grid opened with position 1 active. Three respins, balls accumulating steadily, values locking in across the grid. Our session did not collect enough to unlock position 2, which requires 9 Money Balls in position 1 alone. The round closed with a total win of 14.50 from a 0.88 stake, roughly 16.5x. Respectable for a single-position activation. The Minor jackpot at this bet level sits at 25.00, the Major at 100.00, and the Grand shows no value because it is a live progressive shared across all players.

This review of Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi ends where most honest assessments of the hold-and-spin genre do. Aristocrat’s Dragon Link defined the template. Asian theme, Money Ball collection, four jackpot tiers, and expanding positions. Prosperity Link follows it closely and does not try to disguise that. The four-position unlock, the Prosperity Pot safety net, and the multiplier wild free spins are meaningful differentiators, but they sit within a format that many players will already know well. As a demo or a casual session, it is enjoyable, and the cultural specificity is genuine. As a new experience for hold-and-spin veterans, it is familiar ground covered competently.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Major, Minor, and Mini are fixed jackpots scaled to your current coin value, so they always display a number at your bet level. The Grand is a shared progressive that grows from a percentage of bets placed by all players across all instances of the game. Its value at any moment reflects the live pool rather than a fixed multiple, so no static number is shown. The Grand is only awarded during the Prosperity Respin Bonus when 15 Money Balls appear in a single active game position.
The Prosperity Pot is a feature that activates when 1 to 5 Money Balls land on the reels during a standard spin, falling short of the 6 needed to trigger the Prosperity Respin Bonus. When it fires, it places enough additional Money Balls on the reels to reach the 6-ball threshold and trigger the bonus. It does not activate on every spin with fewer than 6 balls, so it functions as a probabilistic safety net rather than a guarantee.
The four positions unlock progressively as Money Balls accumulate during the bonus. Position 1 is active from the start. Position 2 activates when 9 Money Balls have locked in position 1. Position 3 requires 18 total across positions 1 and 2. Position 4 requires 32 total across all three. Each position uses different reels and carries independent potential for jackpot symbols. Most sessions will activate one or two positions; reaching all four requires a sustained run of Money Ball landings across multiple respins.
Yes. Up to 3 Multiplier Wilds can be placed on reels 2 through 5 per free spin by the Prosperity Pot feature, with individual values of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. When more than one Multiplier Wild substitutes in the same MultiWay win, their values multiply together. The maximum combined multiplier is 60x, achievable when multiple high-value Multiplier Wilds all contribute to the same winning combination.
The bet structure is intentional. The number 8 carries strong associations with luck, prosperity, and wealth in Chinese culture, and IGT has designed the stake levels around this. The minimum bet is 0.88, the maximum is 88, and the intermediate levels follow the same logic. Players familiar with Chinese numerology will recognise the significance immediately. It is part of the same cultural specificity that runs through the title, the symbols, and the overall design of the game.
