Cash Defense Slot Review 2024

Cash Defense from Print Studios appeals to the gamer in all of us with a slot reminiscent of a good old tower defence game.

Picture this, you’re in year 11 ICT class and your teacher wants you to prepare for your GCSE exam on applications software and data protection, so naturally, you head to Miniclip to play flash games instead. A game that seems to stand out to everyone is Balloons Tower Defence, which saw you strategically but ruthlessly slaying any balloon that dared to cross the threshold.

They were the best of times and they’re sorely missed, but wallow and mourn for that feeling no longer, for Cash Defense is here to magnify that feeling with their newest game.

If previous releases are any indication, then Cash Defense is sure to have an ingenious level of innovation to it.

Let’s check it in this Cash Defense Slot Review!

Cash Defense Base Game and Features

Cash Defense is a 5-reel slot with 26 fixed pay lines. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

The minimum bet available here is £.€0.10 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€20 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. Cash Defense has a theoretical RTP of 96.29% and a max win cap of 20,000x.

In terms of symbols, all High-paying symbols fall to a collection of Alien creatures. The highest-paying regular symbol here is Mentarch, followed by Psykrona, Scythra, Mantisa, Alan, and Steve. Low-paying symbols fall to a group of smaller Aliens known as Rhinax, Bublax, Hornax, and Dropax.

SuperSpinners

In between each of the reels sits 14 SuperSpinners. With each spin, a random number of SuperSpinners will activate, revealing a random Multiplier value.

If a winning combination is formed through an active SuperSpinner, the win will be multiplied by the value shown on it. Please note, Multipliers are applied independently.

Mini Tower Defense Feature

Landing a Mini TD symbol on reel 5 during the base game will automatically trigger the Mini Tower Defense feature. Once active, the feature will begin with 2 random Towers, 1 wave of 10 enemy symbols, and a random Bonus enemy. Eliminating the Bonus enemy during this time will trigger the Grand Tower Defense Bonus.

Special Towers across the path defend the Castle from invading alien enemies. Arrow towers are great at taking out single enemies, and Cannon towers are best at eliminating big groups of enemies. Each eliminated enemy will award unique features.

Jumbo Symbol Spin

At the end of the Mini Tower Defense feature, 1 spin is awarded where a Jumbo symbol covering both reels 2 and 3 is present.

This symbol will substitute for all eliminated enemies from the first part of the Mini Tower Defense feature. Eliminated enemies will be highlighted on the Jumbo symbol.

Cash Defense – Grand Tower Defense Bonus

The Grand Tower Defense Bonus can be triggered 1 of 2 ways, either by eliminating the Bonus enemy during the Mini Tower Defense feature or by landing 3 or more Scatters across the reels in the base game. Landing 4 or 5 Scatters will award an extra Prize of 20x and 100x your bet respectively.

Once active, a tower defense round will commence with your chosen tower configuration, and up to 2 waves of alien enemies. The first enemy wave will consist of 10 enemy symbols, and the second wave will consist of 50 SuperSpinner enemies. Eliminating at least 5 enemy symbols during the first wave will trigger the second wave.

Jumbo Symbol Spins

At the end of the first half of the Grand Tower Defense Bonus, 3 spins are awarded where a Jumbo symbol covering reels 2, 3, and 4 will appear on the reels.

The jumbo symbol will substitute for all eliminated enemy symbols from the first half of the Grand Tower Defense Bonus. Eliminated symbols will be highlighted on the Jumbo symbol.

For every SuperSpinner enemy that was eliminated, a randomly chosen SuperSpinner will increase its Multiplier by +1 before each Jumbo Spin.

Cash Defense Bonus Buy

Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. Print Studios has granted players access to 3 Bonus Buy options as follows.

• Scatter Boost – Increases your chances of triggering the Grand Tower Defense Bonus for a total cost of 0.5x your bet per spin. (RTP 96.64%)
• Mini Tower Defense Feature – Triggers the Mini Tower Defense feature for a total cost of 28.9x your bet. (RTP 96.83%)
• Grand Tower Defense Bonus – Triggers the Grand Tower Defense Bonus for a total cost of 94x your bet. (RTP 97.33%)

Cash Defense: Our Verdict

Print Studios impress again with ingenuity that seemingly no other young studio possesses. The SuperSpinners feature fits so flawlessly into every game it features in, and the tower defense aspect of Cash Defense really makes it stand out.

It’s an intricately fine-tuned game with SuperSpinners and a Mini Tower Defense to give you a taste of its capabilities before it brings out the big guns in the Grand Tower Defense Bonus where things really start to heat up.

The best part in our eyes is the tower configuration choices. The different strategies are what made tower defense games fun. Which tower do you choose, where do you put it, and how many of each? Print Studios were undoubtedly limited in what they could offer in this regard because of limitations of strategic play and gambling, but they’ve pulled it off beautifully with different options that vary the volatility.

Arrow Towers specialise in taking out single enemies, and Cannon Towers handle the groups. Choose a mix of both, or more of one or the other to win more often, or win bigger. The Jumbo Spins that go hand-in-hand with the Tower Defense bonus work seamlessly with SuperSpinners to make it even more capable.

When it comes down to potential, Cash Defense looks appealing once more with up to 20,000x as a maximum win

Overall, we think Cash Defense is another great chapter to their story so far. Few other highlight a deeper understanding of what a slot can be like Print Studios
