Wazdan is well-known for producing innovative video slots and additional features that attract an army of punters across the globe. After the huge success of Hold the Jackpot and Collect to Infinity, the company licensed by Malta Gaming Authority decided to go one step further and introduce the Cash Infinity feature.

Basically, their Hold the Jackpot feature is freshened by Cash Infinity symbols, which stick to the reels until the Hold the Jackpot Bonus is triggered. This will make it much easier for players to trigger the Bonus.

Cash Infinity Introduced in 9 Coins

The very name of the feature, Cash Infinity, might suggest to players that it will allow them to collect cash prizes infinitely. Sadly, that is not true. That is why we decided to explain this feature through the review of the 9 Coins video slot.

Unlike other Wazdan’s Hold the Jackpot games, which offer this Bonus as an extra feature that can be triggered during the base game, 9 Coins is all about the Hold the Jackpot feature. There are no standard symbols that appear on the reels, only Bonus Coins appear. The goal of the 2022 release is not to land winning combos during the base game, but to trigger the Bonus as soon as possible.

The game is played on a 3×3 reel grid, and your task is to land three Bonus Coins on the central row at the same time. Believe us when we tell you that it will not be an easy task. Fortunately for all players, this is where the Cash Infinity feature steps in to save the day.

Namely, players may land several types of icons on the reels. Cash Coins will award you with prizes between 1x and 5x the bet. Mini, Minor, and Major coins carry the corresponding fixed jackpots – 10x, 20x, and 50x, respectively. Furthermore, there are Collector symbols, Mystery symbols, and Jackpot Mystery symbols that we will explain a bit later. Finally, there are the Cash Infinity symbols.

The difference between the regular Cash Coin and the Cash Infinity Coin is that the Cash Infinity Coin pays more, between 5x and 10x the bet. The most important aspect of the Cash Infinity Coin is that it sticks on the reels until you trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus.

So, once the Cash Infinity Coin lands on the reels, it will not move until the Bonus is triggered. This will make it easier for punters to trigger the feature. In 9 Coins, players need to land 3 Coin symbols on the central row in order to trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus. If you land the Cash Infinity Coin on the central row, it will significantly boost your chances of triggering the Bonus feature.

How the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Functions?

As you may already know, the Hold the Jackpot feature comes with 3 respins. Triggering Coins and all other Coins that were on the reels during the triggering spin will remain on the reels. Players use their respins to try and land new Bonus symbols on the grid. If they succeed, it will reset the number of respins to 3. The feature continues until you run out of respins, or until you fill all the cells with Bonus symbols, whichever comes first.

Apart from Cash Coins and Infinity Cash Coins, players may land other symbols on the reels. As mentioned earlier, there will be coins carrying Mini, Minor, and Major jackpots. Note that multiple Jackpot Coins may be landed on the reels at the same time.

If you land a Coffin full of coins, you get a Collector symbol. The Collector will accumulate the values of all Cash and Infinity Cash coins on the reels. Furthermore, the Collector will multiply the accumulated value with a random 1x-9x multiplier.

The Mystery symbol will transform into any other Bonus symbol, except the Cash Infinity Coin. As for the Jackpot Mystery symbol, it may only transform into Mini, Minor, or Major jackpots. If you fill all the cells with Bonus symbols during the feature, you will pocket the Grand jackpot, which is set at 500x. This is also the top prize of 9 Coins.

If you are not satisfied with the won amount, you can always play the Gamble feature, available after every Bonus round. Guess the color of the hidden item to double your wins.

A Few Words About the Rules of the Game

Wazdan’s video slots are known for having options with which spinners may set the volatility of the game. Decide for yourselves whether you want to enjoy a low, medium, or high volatility game. Also, set the speed of the reels before you start playing. The top payout is set at 500x, which will disappoint players who expect the Cash Infinity feature to be an extra that will allow them to land wins without limits.

Remember that the only goal of this game is to trigger the Bonus round. There will be no wins during the base game, only in the Hold the Jackpot Bonus, and maybe afterwards in the Gamble feature. Set the desired bet and you are ready to go. The RTP of the game is 96.06%.

Cash Infinity – Revolution or Not?

The Cash Infinity feature in 9 Coins might represent the start of something good. The idea seems promising, but they need to do something about the top payout. When people see the title Cash Infinity, the first thing that pops into their minds is a hefty payout. In our humble opinion, 500x is not a max win that should stand next to the Cash Infinity feature. Maybe we are wrong, time will tell.

As for the feature itself, it will help players trigger the Hold the Jackpot Bonus more easily. It helped us several times when we tested the game. On the other hand, players need to remember that Cash Infinity Coins will not enable them to trigger the Bonus very often. They still need to work hard to get their reward. This is one of the reasons why we think the top prize needs to go up.

Hopefully, in the future, new games that come with the Cash Infinity feature will also come with bigger top prizes. Until then, we cannot be certain whether to consider Cash Infinity as a revolution in the iGaming industry.
