If you have ever ridden a roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland or at Galaxyland, you will never forget the thrills of sitting inside an open car that uses kinetic energy to move passengers along scenic railways at high speeds. Cash Coaster is a 5-reel 30-line video slot that gives you excitement of winning huge cash prizes, up to $25,000. When enjoying tight turns and free falling on near-vertical rails, you will also be happy with random expanding wilds and lavish free spins with reels 1 and 5 made completely wild. The slot is compatible with mobile devices so it will accompany you wherever your day may lead.

The slot is based on a win-both-ways model meaning that three or more matching symbols provide payouts when aligned from reel 1 rightward and from reel 5 leftward. This actually doubles the number of paylines the slot has, and improves your winning chances. The visual design is made simple and a kind of outdated if to compare the graphical solution in Cash Coaster with some modern slot releases. But the main attraction of the slot is its high payouts, not graphics, that is why gamblers turn a blind eye to graphics but enjoy high wins that are really abundant in Cash Coaster. Anyway, the reels are set against a long and tall roller coaster that seems to allude to a multitude of winning possibilities and joyful pastime when spinning the reels of this wonderful slot. If you want to relax, make use of the Autospin feature that enables the player to select 10 to 50 automatic repeats that stop on a bonus feature or when expired.

Bet options

As many other slots produced by IGT, the reviewed game has a very high maximum limit. The lowest coin denomination is $0.01. Besides, the slots takes 25% of the total bet as a mandatory side bet that unlocks a feature. So the player cannot wager less than $0.40 per spin. The maximum stake is limited by player’s coin balance only – high rollers are entitled to put thousands of dollars into play, thus they can win hundreds of thousands of dollars on some matching symbols.

Normal symbols and payouts

Since the slot has a Win Both Ways format, three or more matching symbols pay out when they originate from reel 1 or 5. Probably, as a nod to retro slot fans, the set of symbols includes five different 7’s such as yellow, purple, green, blue and red 7’s. They are made as high-valued pictures with the highest payout being 500 coins for five polka-dot red sevens on an active payline. If the player wagers $50 per line, there is the chance of winning $25,000 for this combination. Giving you more chances to win, there is a mixed sevens combination that grants you 40 coins!

Other symbols include different sweets that roller car passengers tend to buy in an amusement park before or after riding. These include crispy pretzels (75 coins for five of a kind), an ice cream ball on a stick (75 coins), ice cream in a cup (100 coins), cotton candy (100 coins), a popcorn basket (125 coins) and an ice cream ball in a waffle cone (150 coins). As an example, picking a $50 coin value, you can grab up to $7500 for five ice cream cones.

Roller Coaster Wild feature

Roller coasters are complex engineering facilities that are carefully thought out with every detail with a purpose of providing absolute safety and entertainment. The Wild symbol in the slot is made as a big word WILD standing on top of tall metal frames. Whenever a wild lands, it can substitute in a combination of other symbols (if it is located in a proper place where a missing regular symbol should be). Wilds have no win multipliers but they bring you lots of profit thanks to their expansion feature.

At any time during normal spins, reels 1 and 5 or both can become completely wild. And this can lead to healthy wins, especially if the first reel is covered with wilds and reels 2 and 3 have some matching symbols on them.

Free spins with a Wild bonus

An amusement park ticket with the “Free Spins” writing is a feature symbol. These special symbols belong to the group of scatters, meaning they count towards a bonus or a winning combination in any position. In this game, 3 or more scatters trigger a selection feature. Before it starts, the player receives a prize of x30 times the total bet. The player is then asked to select a ticket booth to determine the number of free spins, 4, 5 or 6. For the entire duration of free spins, the first and fifth reels will be completely wild. If three bonus symbols appear again on reels 2, 3 and 4, the player is awarded 4 to 6 free games that are added to the remaining number of free games.

Summary

Cash Coaster is an energetic 5-reel 30-payline video slot based on the Win Both Ways model. It features 11 regular symbols with the highest payout of $25,000 for matching five.
