Game Overview
Have you ever heard of the saying “All that glitters is not gold” this aphorism is basically stating that not everything that looks valuable and true turns out to be so. Is this the case with Inspired Gaming’s Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways slot? After a quick run-through of the stats, we find this is a 5-reel machine with 16,807 paylines, a below-average RTP of 94.50%, and a maximum win of just 2,780x bet. This might already be starting to look more like Pyrite than Gold.
Considering this is a Megaways game, you’d expect a few modifiers or base game features to enjoy, but unfortunately, that’s not the case this time. In that particular area of the slot, we only have a gamble feature to tell you about where you can risk your winnings for more or spin the wheel for a chance at exchanging them for entry into the free spins feature. Additionally, there is the Fortune Bet option, which will give you an extra chance of triggering the feature if scatter symbols land on reels 1 and 3 when it has been activated. As for natural entry into the free spins, you’ll need all three scatters to hit to achieve this. Then, during this bonus round, only the four highest paying symbols will be in play on the reels.
Are you just at least a little bit tempted to find out more about this game? I mean, it is a Megaways, after all, so it’s got to be worth a look. Try some spins in our free demo slot of Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways; it’s available to play below.
Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Somewhat predictably, the iGaming scene is full of slots themed around Gold. For example, a quick search here on our site will throw up plenty of titles within the genre for you to try out. Some of these games are far more elaborately designed than others, like iSoftbet’s Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways or Pragmatic Play’s Mammoth Gold Megaways, both worth checking out if you have a moment or two to spare. On the other hand, some developers opt for a much more simplistic approach, and this seems to be the style Inspired Gaming has gone for, as the game we are reviewing today appears to be some kind of a Megaways upgrade to their earlier release, Gold Cash Big Spins. How will it hold up against the masses of competition it faces? We’re making our way to the pays section to begin to find out.
Sitting pretty at the top of the paytable is the large stack of gold which pays 5x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by the smaller pile of gold at 1.5x for a full line of five, with the three blocks of gold next valued at 0.8x for a completed line of five. The remaining premium paying symbols are the two piles of banknotes, both valued at 0.6x for full payline. As for the low pays, these come in the form of three royals, with the King, Queen, and Jack all paying 0.5x for a five of a kind hit. A wild symbol is also present within the game, appearing on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only, which will substitute for all regular symbols.
With over 18 possible bet sizes to choose from, Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways should have a stake to match the bankroll of any player. The minimum standard price to get the game underway starts at €0.20, with the maximum bet reaching €90.
Base Game & Modifiers
Whilst the vast majority of Megaways slots are played over a 6×7 reel formation, Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways has a much smaller reel matrix comprising 5×6 with up to 16,807 ways to win on every spin. A win will be awarded when at least three matching symbols appear on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first.
Fortune Bet
By toggling the Fortune Bet button to the on position, whenever you land a bonus symbol on reels 1 and 3 but not five, all reels will be held, and reel 5 will spin again for an extra chance to trigger the bonus. Activating this option comes at the cost of an additional 50% on top of your normal stake, so you may want to consider if it is worth it, as the rules state the average payback over multiple game cycles in this mode is an RTP of 94.51%. Yes, a whole 0.01% more than the standard RTP.
Gamble Feature
You can choose to have the gamble mode switched off, on for all wins, or on for wins of 5x or more. If you opt to have it on, you’ll be presented with two wheels when you hit a winning combo. Once allows you to gamble for more cash, whilst the other will give you a shot at the free spins feature.
Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus feature will be triggered when a scatter symbol lands on each of the reels 1, 3, and 5, with 8 free spins being awarded to start the round.
Free Spins
During the free spins, only the premium-paying gold bar symbols and the wild are present on the reels. This, in theory, should give you a greater chance of winning. The free spins cannot be re-triggered.
Pros
- Fans of less complicated Megaways games may enjoy it.
Cons
- Low RTP of just 94.50%.
- A small max win for a Megaways slot.
- The free spins can sometimes be confusing, as it's not always easy to make out at a glance if you have won or not.
Final Thoughts
Generally, we enjoy Inspired Gaming's slots here at Demoslot, but on this occasion, I quickly got bored of playing Gold Cash Free Spins Megaways. In an already saturated market of Megaways titles, this brings absolutely nothing of note to the table, and I'd expect you'll turn this one off as quickly as I did.
