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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Landing six Money Balls on a single spin triggers the bonus. The reels shake, folding fans drift across the screen, and the four-position bonus grid opens.
