Epic Ape: Blitz Cash Collect Demo Play Free Demo Slot

Slot Overview

Epic Ape: Blitz Cash Collect is the latest release from Playtech, and this game combines a 4,096-ways-to-win mechanic with Cash Collect features, Coin Wins, two Free Games features, Lightning Coins, and more. There’s a huge amount going on, so is Playtech’s latest release any good? The Demoslot team investigates.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Epic Ape: Blitz Cash Collect is played on a six-reel, four-row layout, and the slot uses a 4,096-ways-to-win mechanic. Wins are formed left to right. The game offers an RTP of 95.60%. You can wager between €0.10 and €20 per spin.

The core base game mechanics revolve around cash coins, and these can land with values of 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 5x, or 10x. Lightning Coins can also land; these are the way to winning Cash Collect prizes. Cash Collect symbols can land on reels 1 and 6, and these act as collectors. In the base game, landing Cash Collect symbols on reel 1 and/or 6 collects all Cash Coin and Lightning Coin symbols that appear anywhere on that spin.

Now, if a Cash Collect symbol lands together with a Lightning Coin, you can win a Cash Collect Prize which is chosen at random:

• Mini: 20x
• Minor: 50x
• Major: 200x
• Grand: 1,000x

The game’s Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the Scatter symbols anywhere in view, and you then get to choose between Cash Collect Free Games, and Epic Ape Free Games.

Cash Collect Free Games awards fewer starting spins; 2,3, 5, or 8, depending on the number of Scatter symbols, and during this feature, any Cash Collect symbols that land lock in place. Only Cash Collect symbols, Cash Coins, Lightning Coins, and +1 Free Games Coins can appear, and each Cash Collect collects all coins in view.

The Epic Ape Free Games bonus is the more conventional Free Spins feature of the two, and this awards you 8, 12, 20, or 30 free games, respectively. Here, only standard paying symbols and scatters can land, and a new mechanic collecting Golden Ape symbols comes into play. As you fill collection boxes in sequence, specific symbol types are removed and replaced with the high-paying Apes. Collecting any collection box also awards +2 free games.

Bonus Buy & Extra Bet

Epic Ape: Blitz Cash Collect contains an Extra Bet option, increasing your total bet by 20% to improve your odds of landing the Free Spins. You can also buy directly into the bonus round for 100x, 150x, or 250x your bet. The different costs reflect the number of scatters that are guaranteed.

Theme & Design

Epic Ape: Blitz Cash Collect takes a pretty classic “jungle treasure hunt” theme and combines it with green jungle-like visuals, glowing reels, and, of course, the ape himself, who acts as the game’s main character.

The symbols include a mixture of low-value card icons with theme-specific imagery, including treasure icons, alongside the “special set” of symbols which includes the Cash Collect Coins and Scatters.

We like how the game plays; it’s smooth, easy on the eyes, and visually pleasing, and if you’re a fan of slots like Robocop Cash Collect and Great Rhino Megaways, then you’re pretty much already halfway there in terms of knowing what to expect!
