Game Overview
Kalamba have released various online slot machines prior to 9 Blazing Cashpots, but could this latest title be the best one to date There’s a tonne of new and innovative ideas in here, all taking place on a 5×4 playfield with 40 fixed pay lines. The RTP is a little unusual here – you can choose from four “Hyperbet” modes, the higher the option you choose, the bigger the multiplier attached to the wild symbols will be, resulting in an RTP range of between 94.17% and 96.22%. Likewise, if you choose to use the “Hyperbonus” bonus buy feature, there are four levels there too with RTP’s ranging from 96.48% to 97.34%. The maximum win is capped at a super chunky 50,000x your stake. Hell yeah!
The Hyperbet and Hyperbonus options described above can easily be regarded as features, but what else does Blazing Cashpots online slot have to offer? Every reel contains a number of scatter pay “Blazing Cashpot” symbols, awarding prizes of between 10x and 20,000x your bet… wow. Can it get any better? Sure, it can! How about a free spin-based bonus round with extra star symbols that add three more free spins to your counter if you collect enough of them and fill the meter above the reels? You know what, there’s too much to discuss here! Check out the bonus sections below for more details.
You are going to want to play this game, I’m sure of it… so why wait? Our free demo slot of Blazing Cashpots is available right here:
9 Blazing Cashpots Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The theme is a little hard to Pidgeon hole – sure, we have a bunch of fruit machine style symbols (yawn), but the wilds and other special symbols are all decorated in the typical Las Vegas style, and the overall presentation ends up looking fresh and new to me. The sound is an interesting blend of ambient sounds with the occasional burst of synthesized notes played in the oriental scale – perhaps they were hoping to create a more Macau-like atmosphere? Who knows? The bottom line is, it works very well, and I never found myself reaching for the mute button whilst playing this slot.
Crunch time, Mr. Blazing Cashpots.. whats your paytable saying? All the high-paying symbols are donated by lucky sevens. Four different colours represent the different payouts beginning with a fiery red which pays 10x for a full payline of six-of-a-kind. Next up is a strange… quilted seven? I don’t know, it definitely isn’t spots. Maybe he needs to see a doctor. We shouldn’t judge, ahem, so lets just say this guy will pay you 5x your stake for landing all five. Just make sure to wash your hands after a win. Finally, the blue and green Lucky Sevens both pay 2x your stake for six-of-a-kind. It’s hard not to wonder how come these payouts all seem so low – I know it’s a 40-line game and all, but still…? I did a little digging and soon found the answer – not only are qall symbols stacked on the reels, but there are stacks of wilds on every reel two which do appear quite often. Unfortunately, they do have a habit of popping up in the wrong place, but that’s life, I guess!
The bet size selector is located directly to the left of the spin button. You will notice it is split into two sections – a pile of coins, and a hyper bet logo. It doesn’t matter which side you choose as it will still open the same new window where you can configure your wagering amount. As well as choosing your regular stake like any other game, you will also be asked to choose a Hyperbet level. There’s a lot to say on this so check out the base gameplay section below for details.
So, keeping things simple, the minimum bet is €0.20 per spin and the maximum is €50.00 per spin, but these amounts can increase significantly if you choose to play at high Hyperbet levels.
Base Game & Modifiers
Blazing Cashpots utilizes a standard 5×4 reel area, and wins are awarded in the regular way – three or more matching symbols from left to right. The cashpot prizes can be won during the base game, although I did find that the symbols dropped much more regularly during the bonus round. Nevertheless, this does add a reasonable amount of excitement to the game whilst you are waiting to hit the bonus scatter symbols.
I would have really liked to see a few modifiers here to keep things interesting… Kalamba has included lots of multiplier wilds on their reels, but bizarrely the paytable explains that any combination when happens to pass through multiple wild symbols will not be boosted by the value of both multipliers! Instead, your winnings will be modified by the highest multiplier only. I’ve never seen this before, and II suspect there will be a furore amongst players when word gets out about this blatant deceitful practice.
Hyperbet Feature
At the regular Hyperbet level 1, the minimum bet per spin is €0.20 whilst the maximum is set at €50.00. After choosing your stake, the window automatically closes which seems like a poor UX decision in my view – you’ll need to reopen the window if you want to configure your Hyperbet as well.
- When playing at Hyperbet level 1, all the wild symbols have no multiplier attached to them and the bonus round will only give you five free spins after hitting three or more scatter symbols.
- Make the jump to level 2, and your bet amount will jump by 55%. Every wild now has a 2x multiplier attached to it and all bonus rounds will begin with seven free spins rather than the five awarded at level 1.
- Level 3 is for the brave, boosting a €1 bet all the way to €2.15 per spin! In return for this more than 100% increase in bet size, all wilds now have a 3x multiplier attached to them and your bonus rounds will benefit from nine starting free spins.
- This one’s for the craziest, most courageous slots players of them al! Boost your €1 bet all the way to €5 per spin and your will benefit from stacked wild symbols adorned with monstrous 10x multipliers, as well as a chunky 12 starting free spins in the bonus round. What do I mean by “starting” free spins? Read on:
9 Blazing Cashpots Slot Bonus Features
Hit three or more bonus symbols during the regular game and you will be taken away to a new reel set accompanied by high-paced music – the contrast between this mode and the regular game is huge. You can’t miss the fact you have hit a bonus round in Blazing Cashpots! Wilds and cashpot symbols appear much more regularly during the bonus round; how much more depends on how big your stake is! That also applies to the number of bonus-extending star symbols too, so overall I do get the impression that this game is somewhat “pay to win” in some ways. II do not like this aspect of any online slot – every game just plays identicallty no matter how much the player might be. Alas, that is just the way it is here, unfortunately.
Hyperbonus Free Spins Feature
Make your way to the free spin feature and you will be awarded a varying number of free spins depending on which hyperbet level you are playing on. Level 1 players receive just 5 free spins, whilst Level 4 players have the luxury of starting their feature with 12 free spins.
If you are one of the many players who will no doubt be starting with seven or nine free spins, do not worry – additional free spins can be won by collecting star symbols and filling the meter located above the reels. These stars appear quite often, and I suspect you should be able to hit at least one or two sets of three of these most times you win the feature. For those who only start with five free spins, you will need a little bit of luck to ensure you can gather the necessary three-star symbols to extend your bonus round, but it’s definitely possible
Blazing Cashpots Feature
The 6×4 reel area in Blazing Cashpots video slots results in a total of 24 unique positions where symbols can land. Every reel is filled with blazing cashpot symbols and hitting five or more of them on a single spin will award you with cash prize. Five cashpot symbols award the minimum prize of 6x your stake, whilst six cashpots move things up a tiny notch to a payoff of 6x your stake.
So far, so dull, and it doesn’t really get exciting until you reach 10 cashpot symbols at once. This returns 100x your stake, and it the first rung of the ladder that genuinely attracts me. Things escalate quickly after this with returns of 200x for 12 cashpot symbols, 1,000x for 15, and an unbelievable 10,000x for the maximum possible 16 cashpot symbols. During testing, I never got higher than rung 7 for a payout of 10x my stake. It could just be more, of course. Or it could be that making your way to the top of this ladder is excruciatingly difficult. I will let you decide.
Bonus Buy Feature
The large “Hyperbonus” button in the left-hand corner of the screen isn’t just there to look pretty! Give it a click and you will be transported to a new eye-piercingly bright screen (I think the HDR on my TV has gone a bit overboard here!) which presented you with four options. These choices are equivalent to hitting the bonus whilst playing at any of the four Hyperbet levels:
- Level 1 – Costs just €13.15 when spinning at a €1 bet, although you do only receive five free spins with no multiplier. I’m not sure this one is worth the price, even at the lowest possible stakes
- Level 2 – This is a cheap option as well at €22.60 (On a €1 bet). You’ll get seven free spins and all wilds are boosted up with a 2x multiplier. You only need one decent spin in this mode to come out a winner, but….
- Level 3 – Invest just a little more for a level three bonus, priced at €33.50 when playing at €1.00 per spin and your wild symbols will be boosted to 3x multipliers as well as extending your bonus round up to a much more useful nine free spins. It’s not the best option available, but in my opinion, this is the perfect balance between cost and value.
- Level 4 – Still priced very reasonable compared to many other bonus buy slots, the top option in the Blazing Cashpots bonus buy feature costs €74.50 (€1 bet), and adds a monstrous 10x multiplier to every wild symbol which lands on screen. Furthermore, you will receive a whole 12 free spins to get you started in the bonus round.
9 Blazing Cashpots Slot Review Final Thoughts
Wow, that was quite a review! Thank you for reading until the end. There really was a lot to talk about with all the features that this game offers. Are they enough to make it a hit? Well, yes – and no. Blazing Cashpots is far from perfect in many ways, but I believe most slots players will get some fun out of the title – even if it is just for a limited time. Go give it a blast for yourself and see what you think!
