RTP, volatility, max win and the ways-to-win range come from FaChai's official game page, confirmed by SlotCatalog. FaChai describes the count as ranging from 2,025 up to 32,400 ways depending on how the reels land — that variable structure is what "Megaways-style" means in practice. The 5-6-6-6-6-5 reel layout is SlotCatalog's figure. Both sources agree on 2022 as the release year, though they differ on the exact month. SlotCatalog lists a USD 0.80 to USD 10 bet range and a bonus-buy cost of roughly 65x the stake — third-party figures, not operator commitments.
The symbol-upgrade chain
Golden Genie's distinctive mechanic is a three-step wild progression:
- A Silver Box lands.
- It upgrades into a Golden Box.
- The Golden Box becomes a Wild.
Combined with cascading reels — winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in — a single spin can chain several times before it settles. In free spins, a multiplier starts at 2x and climbs as cascades continue, which is where the 10,000x ceiling becomes reachable.
Other features: Free Game with retrigger, a progressive jackpot layer, and a Buy Feature where the operator permits it.
What to expect realistically
Variable-ways games feel generous because the ways count is large, but the paytable is calibrated against that — 32,400 ways at 96.5% RTP is not a better deal than 243 ways at 96.5% RTP, it is a different shape of the same return. The cascade-plus-multiplier structure concentrates value in long free-spins runs, so the base game will feel thin between features.
The 2x starting multiplier also matters more than the headline: most free-spins rounds end before the multiplier climbs far. The 10,000x outcome requires a long cascade chain inside a retriggered round, which is rare by design.
Who it suits
Players who enjoy cascade mechanics and watching a multiplier ladder build — the same appeal as Megaways titles generally. If you have played PG Soft's cascading slots, the rhythm will be familiar. For a broader view of what else FaChai offers at different volatility levels, see our FaChai slots guide.
For Filipino players on a moderate budget, the practical advice with any cascade game is to bet small and play long, because the feature-dependency means short sessions at high stakes are the worst of both worlds. Funding through GCash or Maya on a PAGCOR-licensed platform takes seconds, which makes it easy to overshoot a budget — decide the number before you deposit, not after.
Try it free first
The demo above needs no account, no deposit and no personal details. Use it to reach free spins at least twice, so you can see how far the multiplier typically climbs before the round ends. That single observation is more useful than any RTP figure for deciding whether this game matches what you want.
