Cash Mine Slot Review

Cash Mine Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Cash Mine slot is played with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Simply land 3 or more matching symbols, from left to right and starting from reel 1, across any of the 10 paylines to get a winning combination. It’s as simple as slots come.

Available to spin away from 10p to £300 a spin, there are plus and minus buttons below the reels (on the desktop version) which allow you to chance your bet. For non-UK players, there’s a timer which, when selected, brings the Turbo Mode into play for quicker spins. Also, there’s an Autoplay function which gives you autospins.

The Cash Mine RTP is 96.5% which is a lot better than the return rate for the majority of online slot games (the standard rate is approximately 96%). It’s also in line with other Skywind slots as of late. Highly volatile and ranked as 5/5 by the developer, winning combinations will be formed every 6.26 spins on average. The hit frequency rate is 15.97%.

Finally, the maximum win is 5,000 x your total stake. The bigger wins will come in the Money Collect feature with the money symbols the key to this. On a base game or free spin, the most you can win is 1,000 x your total stake.

Theme – grab your pickaxe and start swinging

With a mining theme, the Cash Mine slot will be recognisable if you’ve played games like Bonanza Megaways (Big Time Gaming) and Fire in the Hole (Nolimit City). Using cartoon style graphics, it has a hillbilly soundtrack and has a fun feeling.

Symbols include stone A, K, Q and J royals with the higher value symbols represented by lanterns, pick axes, dynamite and helmets. The helmet is the best paying symbol awarding 2.5, 25 or 50 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.

The cart full of gold nuggets is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter, collect and money symbols. Importantly, 3, 4 or 5 will pay 4, 40 or 100 x your total stake. The mineshaft is the scatter and appears on odd numbered reels only.

Cash Mine Mobile

Produced using HTML5 technology, Cash Mine is available to play on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. With a 5×3 reel setup, it works rather well on mobiles, even in portrait mode.

Cash Mine Bonus Features

The Cash Mine slot has 4 bonus features. With expanding wilds and money symbols awarding cash prizes up to 50 x stake, it’s all about the Free Games feature. With up to 24 free spins up for grabs, landing money symbols will reward you with a respin. Collect symbols will give you extra free spins, upgrade the value of money symbols and apply multipliers to them.

Expanding Wild feature

The cart full of gold nuggets wild symbol can land anywhere across the 5 reels. When a wild lands, the Expanding Wild feature applies. The wild expands to give you a fully wild reel. This can occur in the base game and free spins. 5 wilds landing will result in 5 wild reels which would award you with 1,000 x your total stake.

Money Collect feature

The diamond is the money symbol with the prospector the collect symbol. Landing 1 or more money symbols anywhere on the reels along with a collect symbol will activate the Money Collect feature. This will then award the sum of all landing prizes. The diamond money symbols are worth between 2 and 50 x your total stake.

Free Games feature

The Free Games feature is triggered when landing 3 mineshaft scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously on a base game spin. It will take approximately 125.5 spins to enter the feature. 8 free spins are then awarded.

Once in, you’ll see a bar above the reels which display the amount of collect symbols that land during the free spins. When you land a money symbol, they lock in position with the remaining symbols respinning once. This give you the chance to land more money symbols.

When you land 4 and 8 collect symbols respectively, additional free spins and boosters are won. Landing 4 collect symbols will give you 8 extra free spins, a respin (for each money symbol) and an upgrade. The same applies when you land 8 collect symbols along with a multiplier.

This means a total of 24 free spins can be awarded in the Cash Mine slot. Once a booster is triggered, it remains in play for all remaining free spins. With expanding wilds also on offer, here’s what the boosters offer:

Double Chance feature

Lastly on the features front, there’s a Double Chance feature. Activating this will increase your stake by 50% (i.e. 10p per spin becomes 15p a spin). Using this extra doubles your chances of triggering the free spins.

Cash Mine Review Summary – more hillbilly mining fun

Light-hearted and entertaining, the Cash Mine slot ticks all the boxes. It’s very well designed, offers a 96.5% RTP rate, has plenty of bonus features and can pay out up to 5,000 x your total bet. This is to be expected though considering how popular the mining theme has become amongst slot providers.

With 1,000 x stake wins available on each spin or free spin, the bigger wins will come from the Money Collect feature which applies in the base game and Free Games feature. This is certainly true is you benefit from the Upgrade and Multiplier boosters in the free spins.

Overall, Skywind have created something fun, action-packed and potentially lucrative. Personally, I prefer Skywind’s Nunchucks Chicken which is whacky, has the same RTP rate but offers double the win potential (10,000 x stake).
