Cash Bonanza is a cash-obsessed online slot game created by leading software game developer Pragmatic Play.

This is not just a game filled with money but also with fruit. It is essentially a fruit machine with a modern twist and plenty of features that should make the designers and the team behind this creation very proud. You can enjoy free spins, respins and Wilds. Oh, and let’s not forget, you also have the opportunity to scoop up to 5,000x your wager.

Pragmatic Play has successfully created various online slot games over the years with varying themes, but one theme that has stuck is the banking one. Online slot games Empty the Bank and Piggy Bank Bills come with a banking theme, and both games are still doing exceptionally well amongst players.

Built across 6 reels and 4 to 8 rows, this game offers you a whopping 4,096 ways to win. Of course, if you get eight rows, you have up to 262,144 ways to win.

As soon as you open the game, piles of money greet you as the game is set in a cash vault. Stacks of banknotes and golden coins lie all over the floor. Is this an ominous sign? It might as well be.

On the other hand, we are not too sure about the soundtrack presented. It is a little slow and does not build up the momentum to the wins.

The RTP rate is decent for this game, boasting a value of 96.55%, while the volatility is exceptionally high.

Cash Bonanza’s main selling point is its increasing ways respin feature, which we’ll go into more detail in a bit.

Landing six of one of the highest paying symbols will reward you up to 10x your wager. The lowest paying symbols include the cherry, orange, lemon, watermelon, plum and grapes. The highest paying symbols include the star, lucky seven, bell and the four-leaf clover.

Cash Bonanza jackpots

Although the theme of this game is based around a bank cash vault, sadly, Cash Bonanza does not come with any jackpots attached.

Cash Bonanza free spins

The golden money vault acts as the game’s Scatter symbol. Landing three or more of this symbol automatically activates the free spins bonus round. When this happens, you automatically bag yourself eight free spins.

The number of free spins varies depending on the number of Scatters that have landed on the reels. Landing more than three Scatters awards you with four extra free spins per symbol, which is not bad at all.

During the bonus round, you can further add extra spins to the tally. Every Scatter regards you with two extra free spins.

Once you kick off the free spins bonus round, the number of rows will stay the same. However, you can still participate in the Increasing Ways Respin, which is further explained in the next section.

Cash Bonanza bonus features

Cash Bonanza comes with a variety of perks to help boost the gaming experience. These include:

Wilds

A sack filled with money acts as the game’s Wild symbol. This symbol acts as it should, substituting with other symbols to create winning combinations except for Scatter symbols.

When you hit a winning combination, the Wild locks into place and a respin is triggered. Wilds can only drop on reels between 2 and 6.

Increasing Ways Respin

The game works out differently when it comes to its mechanics. When you start playing it, you have a simple 6 by 4 reel setup. Every time you hit a win, you immediately receive a respin, where all winning symbols, including Wilds and Scatters stay put in place.

The reels that participated in triggering the winning combo get their row increased by +1. You can still trigger more winning combinations, respins and row increases during this round. In total, you can have up to 8 rows per reel and a whopping 262,144 ways to win.

Cash Bonanza RTP

Cash Bonanza is a highly volatile game, which should please thrill-seekers aplenty. You can’t expect wins regularly, but when you do, the wins are substantial.

The Cash Bonanza payout percentage rate stands at an average of 96.55%.

Verdict

We think that this new online slot offering by Pragmatic Play is quite swell. Although we initially thought it would be a classic fruit machine, this game took us by surprise.

As the Increasing Ways Respin feature, Wilds, Scatters, and respins come together, gearing up momentum. When this happens, it creates the perfect setting for generating big wins. It is a delightful sight to see, especially if you can keep on increasing rows and generating wins and respins.

Since the respin feature also hangs onto all Scatter symbols that land on the reels, your chances of triggering the free spins bonus round also increase. The free spins are always welcome, and with the chance of adding extra spins to the tally, it is tough not to love this game.

Pragmatic Play keeps on impressing players. The game’s design might appear a little flashy and perhaps, a little too much in your face, but it’s still very hard not to like this game. The soundtrack definitely needed a little more thought, though.

Lovers of classic fruit machines looking for a modern twist to the classic setup will lap this up. Players who are looking for more modern-looking graphics might possibly shy away from this a little bit. We still think this game has potential.

Since the payout percentage is quite generous, we also think that the opportunity of triggering the payout of 5,000x your bet is not too farfetched.

Overall, it’s a thumbs up from us!
