Cash Compass

Cash Compass Slot Review

A palm trunk leans in from the left of a tropical beach, jungle fronds crowd in from the right, and between them hangs a parchment treasure map lashed to a wooden plank frame. That’s the board, and the twist is the brass-rimmed ship’s compass sitting in the logo above it, which doesn’t just decorate the title: it spins, picks a direction, and rearranges the grid below. Hacksaw Gaming has built the whole game around that moment. It’s a 6×6 cluster win slot running at 96.42% RTP with a max win of over 7,300x the bet, sitting in the same playful territory as Chaos Crew and Wanted Dead or a Wild. The closest thing to it on the cluster format is Cubes 2.

Base Game & Features

There are no reels or paylines here. Wins form when six or more matching symbols connect anywhere on the 6×6 grid, and only the top combination on each cluster pays. Multiple clusters in one round add together, so a single spin can land several separate wins at once.

The same winning requirements carry over into free spins and bonus play, and every wager is eligible for all winning combinations at once. Individual wins within a combination are shown one at a time during the win presentation, with the round total displayed alongside.

The Compass Symbol

Land five compass symbols anywhere on the grid and the compass in the logo above the board comes alive. Its needle spins, and when it stops, every compass symbol on the grid multiplies and spreads in the direction shown. Any regular wins are paid out before the spreading begins, so nothing gets lost in the reshuffle.

It’s a simple idea with a big footprint. One good spread can turn a modest cluster into something covering half the grid, and it’s the mechanic the whole game is built around. Everything else in the review flows from it.

All values are multiples of the total bet:

• Map – 30+ symbols: 1,000x, 25-29: 100x, 20-24: 50x, 15-19: 24x, 13-14: 40x, 11-12: 20x, 9-10: 3x, 7-8: 1x, 6: 0.5x

Every symbol on the board uses the same cluster ladder, so the shape of a win matters as much as what it’s made of. The picture symbols pull clearly ahead of the royals once clusters grow past the dozen mark, and that’s where the game’s character lives.

Symbol payouts reflect the bet level you’ve chosen, so the paytable rebalances itself whenever you adjust your stake. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100.00 per spin, adjustable in the usual steps.

Autoplay carries configurable loss and single-win limits, and it stops the moment any selected limit is exceeded. Turbo play is there too, where the operator allows it.

Cash Compass Free Spins & Bonus Wheel

Three features can take over a spin, and each one is triggered by symbols landing on the grid:

• Five compass symbols – the compass in the logo activates and the spreading feature plays out
• Three FREE SPINS symbols – awards 10 free spins
• Three BONUS symbols – opens the bonus wheel game

Free Spins

The round works like the base game with one important difference: every time a compass symbol lands, the compass starts spinning straight away, and the spread plays out before the spin resolves. Extra compass symbols are added to the reels for the duration, so the feature fires far more freely than it does in normal play.

Regular wins still get paid before each compass spread, and the total win across the round accumulates alongside the spin counter. Ten spins doesn’t sound like much, but with the compass active on every landing, the round builds momentum in a way the base game rarely manages.

The Bonus Wheel

This is the feature the game saves its best ideas for. The wheel has eight sections, and you get up to 50 spins of it.

Each time the hit marker stops on a section, that section’s multiplier is added to your running total, and the section itself steps up to the next level. Every multiplier starts at 1x and climbs through 10x, 25x, 100x and finally 250x. The round runs until the marker lands on the skull, at which point everything stops and the total multiplier is paid out against your base game bet level.

The structure rewards greed in a way wheels usually don’t. Every safe landing makes the wheel better for the next stop, so the tension compounds: the longer you survive, the more each further spin is worth, and one bad landing takes the lot.

The maximum achievable win in the game is 7,300 times the bet. When it hits, the round ends immediately and any unfinished features are discarded, with the win paid in full. A completed round’s result stays available in the game history afterwards, though rounds left unfinished don’t appear there.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.7/10

This is a beach holiday with two good rides on it. Most of your time on the island is quiet spins and small clusters, and the reason anybody books the trip is that compass: when five of them land and the needle swings, the whole grid reshapes in front of you, and no other cluster slot does that moment quite this well.

The bonus wheel is the best thing here, because every safe stop makes the next stop worth more – it’s the only part of the game where the tension grows instead of resetting. The quiet part is the real cost: between triggers, the base game coasts, and the royals pay so little that a long run of spins can feel like scenery.

If you’re here for a grid slot that does something genuinely different with its clusters and can sit happily through the quiet stretches, the island is worth the fare. Anyone who needs something happening on every spin will find the sand between features slow going.
