Theme

Hot Cash video slot looks like a good ol’ fruit machine.

With well – known suspects on the drums like lemons, plumbs, 7s and BAR symbols, you will be dragged down the memory lane to some more simpler times.

Beside the title written in fiery letters below the reels…

…there’s no background really. IGT did everything in their power to make the gamers feel like they’re sitting in front of an old-fashioned fruit machine but not cutting on the perks of the 21th century.

Visually…

…it looks amazing! Colors are bright and vibrant, graphics are crisp and the bubbly soundtrack gives an extra spark to the gameplay.

Betting Options and Symbols

This title has 5 reels and 3 rows. It is played on maximum 9 pay-lines.

You can bet with maximum 9 coins pre line and their range goes from 0.05 up to 1 $. With all values set on maximum, the highest bet in this case would be $81. Not really the amount high rollers prefer, but ideal for medium and small bet punters.

AND…

…when it comes to symbols, we already mentioned that all the classics are present on the paytable. Playing with maximum credit per line will get you 900 coins for lining 5 of cherries, oranges, grapes or lemons which are also the low – value icons. Plumbs, watermelon and BAR ...

…will get you 1.800 coins for the same combination. The highest paying among them are 7 and Golden Bells with 4. 500 coins if you manage to land 5 on the line.

Interestingly enough…

…the Scatter represented by the white rabbit in the black top hat, doesn’t trigger any special feature but it does have its place on the paytable. With 3.600 coins, it’s one of the most rewarding symbols here.

Special Features

The history of fruit machines is long and rich but their basic premise is still the same. The one thing that video slots introduced to players is wide assortment of special features like bonus games and themes.

Hot Cash offers some extra perks but…

…it stays true to its humble beginnings with very simple additional rounds.

Two red dices are the Wild symbol. As per usual, it has the power to substitute for any regular icon and help you form a winning combo more easily. It also holds the top position on the paytable with 45.000 coins for the combination of 5 when played with max credits per line.

BUT…

…there are also 2 Bonus symbols.

One of them is shown as a Stack of Cash and the other as a Wheel of Fortune. Landing 3 or more of them will trigger additional games. Simple “Pick me” round is triggered by the stack of cash and…

…it entails you choosing out of 5 options and getting some instant cash prizes. The other bonus symbol will take to the Wheel of Fortune round where you gain cash prizes as well.

Conclusion

Although the fruit theme is very basic and probably overused, the release itself is rather refreshing.

With a vivid color scheme and great graphics, visually Hot Cash is very far away from the original video slots. Simple but impressive gameplay with 2 extra rounds will definitely attract players looking for the unpretentious title.
