Amazing Money Machine Slot Review
A brass tank packed with gold coins and pale blue gemstones stands bolted to the left of the reels, riveted straps holding the glass in place, a chrome pipe elbowing up out of frame. It’s not decoration – it’s the most interventionist piece of machinery Pragmatic Play have wired into a slot, one that can flood the grid with money symbols or start a jackpot at any spin, no trigger required.
Amazing Money Machine runs on a 3×5 grid with 10 paylines, medium volatility and a 96.42% RTP, with wins capped at 5,100x the bet. That cap covers everything the machine throws, and the paytable underneath it is ordinary – the real game is in what the contraption does to the reels.
It sits in familiar company for the studio, alongside Money Stacks, Money Money Money and The Money Men Megaways.
Base Game & Features
Play happens on a 3×5 grid, three rows across five reels, with 10 paylines paying left to right across adjacent reels. Only the best win counts per combination, and wins on separate lines add together. All wins are multiplied by the base bet.
The grid isn’t fixed. When features demand it, the game can extend to 4×5 with 30 paylines or 5×5 with 60, and the expansion is decided at random.
The wild is a heart gem that appears on all reels and substitutes for everything except the BONUS and MONEY symbols. It pays on its own line too, and it’s the richest symbol on the board, worth five times what the best premium character manages at the top of the ladder.
Symbol pays are expressed as multiples of the total bet:
- Wild heart gem: 2.5x for three, 10x for four, 50x for five
- Woman with black hair: 1x, 5x, 10x
- Bearded man: 0.75x, 2.5x, 7.5x
- Airship / Rocket or Binoculars: 0.5x, 1.5x, 5x
- Ray gun / Goggles: 0.25x, 1x, 2.5x
- A and K: 0.25x, 0.75x, 2x
- Q, J and 10: 0.25x, 0.5x, 1.25x
The value ladder drops off quickly below the wild and the two characters. Five-of-a-kind line wins on the low symbols barely cover the spin, so the paytable is carrying furniture – the money is elsewhere.
MONEY symbols are the other half of the base game. They appear on all reels and each takes a random value on every spin, drawn from a set running from 1x up to 250x the total bet. The full ladder of possible values:
- 1x, 1.25x, 2x, 2.5x, 3.75x
- 5x, 6.25x, 7.5x, 10x, 12.5x
- 25x, 40x, 50x, 75x, 100x
- 125x, 200x, 250x
There are four types. The plain value symbol shows its amount straight away. Three of the others keep their figure hidden until a respin round ends.
The WILD MONEY symbol doubles as a wild in the base game and reveals a cash amount when a respin round finishes. The MYSTERY MONEY symbol reveals its value the same way. The JACKPOT MONEY symbol only appears during respins, where it feeds the jackpot counter.
The BONUS symbol is a clock, restricted to reels 2, 3 and 4, and all three need to land together for the jackpot bonus.
The Amazing Money Machine Itself
The machine beside the reels works at random, on any spin, in the base game and during respins. In the base game it can throw value, mystery or wild money symbols onto the grid, plain wilds, or an instant jackpot symbol, replacing whatever was there. During the respin round it adds JACKPOT money symbols to its arsenal.
Two of its throws are feature triggers in their own right. The INSTANT JACKPOT symbol starts the jackpot bonus on the spot. The INSTANT MONEY RESPIN scatters five or more MONEY symbols of any kind across the screen and launches the respin round immediately.
Amazing Money Machine Bonus Features
Landing any five MONEY symbols at the end of a spin starts the MONEY RESPIN round, once all base game wins have been paid. Normal symbols fade away, the triggering MONEY symbols lock in place, and the reels switch to special strips carrying only MONEY symbols and blanks.
The respin count starts equal to the number of MONEY symbols that triggered the round. Every MONEY symbol that lands sticks and adds one more respin, so a round can run for a long time on a lucky streak. It ends when the respins run out or every position fills.
Fill the entire grid and the round retriggers with five fresh respins, and the cycle can repeat. The grid can also be bigger than the one the round started on. If three MONEY symbols of any type landed on the middle reel in the base game, the game area expands to 4×5 or 5×5 at random for that spin and the round that follows, raising the payline count and the positions available to fill. Filling the middle reel during the round itself doesn’t trigger any further growth.
The machine stays busy during respins, throwing extra MONEY symbols into empty positions at random moments, each counting towards the round’s total. JACKPOT money symbols collected here each award a point, and three points across the round unlocks the jackpot bonus. When the respins end, every MONEY symbol’s value is added up and paid, with any jackpot bonus following straight after.
The Jackpot Bonus
Three routes lead to the JACKPOT BONUS: hit three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4, collect three JACKPOT money symbols during a respin round, or take the instant jackpot throw from the machine. A respin-triggered jackpot plays after the current round finishes.
Inside, it’s a picking game. Coins hide jackpot names behind them; match three of the same name and that jackpot is yours. The ladder has four rungs, and at a stake of 2.00 they pay:
- GRAND: 10,000.00
- MAJOR: 1,000.00
- MAXI: 100.00
- MINI: 50.00
Those values scale with the stake, so the ladder is a set of bet-sized prizes rather than fixed amounts. Respin and jackpot wins are added to payline wins, and the whole game shares one ceiling: any spin, features included, stops the moment it reaches 5,100x the bet, with anything beyond forfeited.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
This is a slot where something is always about to happen to the reels, and that’s the whole reason to choose it. You spin, the machine kicks off, and suddenly you’re in a respin round you never lined up the symbols for. That brass tank isn’t a spectator.
Its best idea is the retrigger. A full grid restarts the round with five fresh respins, so one hot sequence can pay over and over without the feature ending. It’s what makes the respin worth chasing.
The weakest link is the jackpot bonus itself. All three routes can lead to a MINI worth 25x the bet, which is a thin reward for the effort, and the coin-picking inside is over in seconds. Anyone who enjoys cash collector mechanics and a game that won’t leave the reels alone will be well served; anyone after free spins and a steadier build should look elsewhere in the studio’s money lineup. When the machine is working properly, it’s the respins doing the paying, not the jackpots.
