Another retro video slot comes from the NetEnt creative kitchen. This time, it’s Cash-O-Matic and as its title suggests, it’s all about cash. Using a gem theme, the slot is a perfect combo of the old and the new thanks to its retro appeal and innovative bonus features. A maximum payout up for grabs is 204,800 coins.
The slot is designed to look like an old cash register with the reels set within it. It uses a 5x4 layout with 1,024 ways to win. The bet is configured to 20 paylines and players can wager up to 10 coins per line. To set your bet, choose the bet level and a coin value from a range between $0.01 and $0.50. Once you have set your stake, that can be anywhere from $0.20 to $100 per spin, push the Spin button and set the reels in motion. If you want to raise your stake to the maximum level at a chosen coin size, push the Max Bet button and it will spin the reels for you. The Autoplay option is also available letting you activate up to 1,000 automatic spins.
While the overall design of the game is done pretty good, its symbols are simple. High paying symbols include gems in different shapes and colours, while playing card royals make up to lower ends of the paytable. To win a prize, you need to land 3 or more symbols of a kind on adjacent positions starting from the far left. Whenever you create a win, winning symbols remain on the grid while unsuccessful ones are cleared and leave place for new ones to fall down. This happens due to the Avalanche feature.
As you can notice, this is not a typical Avalanche feature where winning symbols get destroyed. Thanks to this one, symbols remaining on the reels drop down and if they fill an entire reel, they trigger the Level Multiplier feature. In the Level 1 with the bottom row filled with successful symbols, a 1x multiplier applies. The Level 2 is on when two bottom rows are filled with winning symbols and it awards a 2x multiplier. The next two levels function the same way and award a 4x and 10x multiplier.
You can also benefit from the Free Spins feature unlocked when you collect 10 or more Scatters. The number of triggering symbols determines an initial multiplier value. The Avalanche feature along with Level Multiplier is active throughout free spins too. Initially, you will get at least 10 free spins with multipliers obtained from them subject to a 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier. Thanks to Avalanche and Level Multiplier, multipliers can increase up to 50x. What’s more, each row of successful symbols grants an extra free spin.
The improved Avalanche feature with multipliers going up to 10x in the base game and even 50x in free spins makes this game a must try. Its RTP of 96.33% sounds promising too, so give this NetEnt 2019 title a try and it can give a boost to your bankroll. However, keep in mind that this is a video slot of medium to high volatility, so it may take time until the feature triggers or a big win kicks in.
