Oriental Prosperity is drawn like an old Chinese scroll: ink mountains, a stone bridge and two lovers from PG Soft's story, a painter lord and the maid he could not marry. The January 2022 slot uses the studio's six-reel board with a top reel, and adds scatters printed with x2: each one that lands raises the multiplier for the rest of the spin. My 100 demo spins at 12.00 returned 726.00 of the 1,200.00 staked; the best spin paid 178.20.
Same game, real money
Cafe Casino runs the same Oriental Prosperity with the same math and adds a welcome bonus for players from the United States:

The lord and the maid lead the scroll, and the cards pay least. Every value applies to one way; the right-hand column shows a six-symbol way against a 20-point spin. My bet stayed at 12.00 throughout (size 0.30, level 2), so a point came to 0.60.
| Symbol | 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | Six on one way vs stake |
|---|---|---|
| The lord | 30 / 40 / 60 / 150 | 7.5x |
| The maid | 20 / 25 / 50 / 80 | 4x |
| Lacquer box | 10 / 25 / 40 / 60 | 3x |
| Fruit basket | 8 / 15 / 20 / 30 | 1.5x |
| Wine jar, painted book | 6 / 10 / 12 / 15 | 0.75x |
| A, K | 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 | 0.5x |
| Q, J, 10 | 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 | 0.2x |
The lord's jump from 60 for five to 150 for six is the steepest in the table; most of the board's value sits in the cheaper symbols.
The board from Dreams of Macau, with x2 scatters
Six reels of five rows sit under a horizontal top reel that adds a symbol to reels two to five. Tall paintings on the middle reels count once however many rows they cover, and the ways figure drifts between 2,025 and 32,400 as cascades reshape the board. Silver-framed symbols that win turn gold, and gold ones that win turn into wilds.
The scatter, a gold ingot stamped x2, is what sets the game apart. In the base game each scatter that lands adds 2 to the multiplier before wins are paid, and the value stays for the rest of that spin's cascades.
A bonus round that inherits the multiplier
Four scatters start 8 free spins, two more for each additional one. The round begins with whatever multiplier the triggering spin reached, so four scatters already bring at least x8 into it. During the free spins every scatter adds 2 more and also awards an extra free spin, and the multiplier is not reset between spins. I saw two scatters at most, so this part is described from the rules. Asgardian Rising, built on the same board, uses multiplier plates under the reels instead.
Spin 70: one scatter, x2 for five rounds
A single scatter on reel one put the multiplier at x2, and the cascade then ran for several rounds, each paid double; the largest was worth 52.80, and the spin reached 106.80.
Spin 80: books for 162.00
My best result came without any multiplier. After a 1.80 opener, a cascade filled the board with painted books, a wild on the top of reel three among them, and that round alone paid 162.00, 270 points. Another 14.40 followed, and the spin closed as a Big Win of 178.20.
Books pay only 15 points for six of a kind, so 270 points means a large number of ways at once: tall symbols and a wild on the middle reels multiply the count quickly. Spin 77 paid 43.80 with two scatters on the board, and spin 33 32.40 at x4.

A restrained scroll
Next to PG Soft's other big-ways games, Oriental Prosperity held back: the x2 scatters help, but only one or two tended to land, and the base game mostly paid back small amounts. My session lost 474.00. The free spins are designed differently, because they start with the multiplier already earned and only add to it, and the game's large wins have to come from there.
