Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways Slot Review
Get ready to become fabulously wealthy in Microgaming partner, Triple Edge Studios’ latest release, Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways!
Triple Edge Studios is a growing slots Provider that has become well known since partnering with Microgaming. Triple Edge Studios has a decent amount of titles under their belt, but one that sticks out in particular is Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways, which became a huge hit amongst players. Will Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways have as much success as this?
In terms of looks, Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways doesn’t really have a lot going for it. The background has minimal detail, and the layout is a little basic. Triple Edge Studios did add a little bit of sparkle to the theme, but sadly, it’s just not enough. When you first load up Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways, you get a sense of Break Da Bank Again Megaways, but other than a feeling, the two couldn’t be more different.
Will Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways dazzle us with its gameplay? Let’s play on and find out!
Betting and Symbols
Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways has a variety of betting options for players to choose from. For those who prefer a lower stake, the minimum bet available is £/€0.10 per spin. For those who prefer a higher stake, the maximum bet available is £/€20 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. The maximum bet may not seem enough compared to other slots, but we feel that this will be sufficient for most players.
The highest paying regular symbol in Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways is the Purple Diamond, followed by the Red, Blue and Green Diamonds. Lower paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine.
Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatters. Wild symbols will only present themselves on the Sliding Reel.
Base Game and Features
Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways is a 6-reel slot with up to 117,649 Ways to win. To form a win, you will need to connect 3 or more (or 2 or more of the highest paying symbol) from left to right, starting from the left-most reel.
Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways features Cascading Reels. Each time a winning combination is formed, all winning symbols will be removed from the reels, and new symbols will fall via a Cascade, filling all the empty positions on the reels and possibly creating even more winning combinations.
In addition to this, Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways also has an additional Sliding Reel. Each time a winning combination is formed using a symbol from the Sliding Reel, it will be removed from the reel, and all remaining symbols will slide one position to the left, filling all the empty spaces.
The base game in Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways has a Jackpot Pick feature that can be triggered during any random base game spin. More on this below.
Jackpot Pick Feature
During any random spin in the base game, the 4 Jackpot amounts on the left of the screen can be awarded.
Each time a Wild symbol lands, it will be collected and stored, with the possibility of triggering the Jackpot Pick feature. The more Wilds that are collected, the higher the chance of triggering the Jackpot Pick feature.
Once the Jackpot slot Pick feature is awarded, you will be greeted with 12 Tokens all facing down. Keep choosing a Token until you match 3 identical Jackpot amounts. Once you do, you will be awarded the corresponding Jackpot Prize.
The 4 Jackpot Prizes up for grabs are as follows.
- Mini – Awards 15x your current bet.
- Minor – Awards 50x your current bet.
- Major – Awards 100x your current bet.
- Mega – Awards 5,000x your current bet.
Jackpot Prizes can be won in both the Free Spins round and the Base Game.
Free Spins
Landing 4 or more Scatters in any position on the reels triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 12 Free Spins. Every additional Scatter after the 4th awards +5 extra Free Spins.
At the start of the Free Spins round, you will start with a x1 Multiplier, which will increase by +1 with each winning combination.
During the Free Spins round, you will have the opportunity to retrigger your Free Spins. Scatter symbols only present themselves on the Sliding Reel, landing 3 or 4 Scatter symbols will award an additional +5 and +10 Free Spins, respectively.
Our Verdict
Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways certainly has its charms, but that’s mostly down to gameplay alone. The design of Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways is a little poor, but the graphics are pretty decent. Like most slots, Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways has its pros and cons.
Once you move past the rather dull design, you will find that Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways is your typical Megaways slot. The most common feature we see a lot of in Megaways slots is Mystery symbols, but surprisingly, this is not available here. Triple Edge Studios has opted for a Jackpot Pick feature, which isn’t particularly rare to come by, but it does fill a void for the lack of features. With this in mind, we feel that Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways would make a fine choice for players who prefer something a little less complicated.
Statistically, Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways has a slightly below average RTP of 95.98% but a very welcoming maximum win capacity of 18,163x. If you’re unable to look past the RTP, then the maximum win capacity should be enough to persuade you to take this slot for a spin.
Cash ‘n’ Riches Megaways may not make you as rich as the title suggests, but if you’re in the market for a fun and uncomplicated slot, this could be the one for you. It’s even better when combined with UK casino bonuses that add more value to your play.
