Cash Goddess

Cash Goddess: Slot Overview

In the vast pantheon of deities there are gods of wealth, gods of fortune, gods of luck, but rarely if ever are they as blatantly materialistic-focused as the deity software provider Red Tiger has come up with for today's review. When designing this Aztec-tinged slot, the studio cut right to the chase and gave it the title of Cash Goddess, forcing any ambiguities or subtleties out of the picture. The team has also rammed its slot with fairly regular gaming features, so while there are diversions and detours, the goal of this game is to bust into its vanilla Hold & Respin round for the chance to land local jackpot prizes, one of which is, fair enough, quite large.

First up, the game throws a peculiar mix of old and new at users' senses. Cash Goddess inhabits a stone-built inner sanctum-type place where braziers burn, and carved patterns liven the place up. Then there's the gaming grid with its abundance of fruit and classic slot symbols presenting a jarring juxtaposition, while the nice yet out-of-place music sounds like a laid-back lounge track you might hear in a lift on the way to a shopping centre or movie complex. It's an odd effect, like staying at a hotel in Vegas that's tried to use a cultural theme to give the place a vibe but hasn't tried super hard, so the casino side overwhelms all else.

Cash Goddess spins a 5-reel grid, holding 3 rows and evaluating regular winning combinations with 20 paylines. It's a highly volatile slot with a sizable max win, and an RTP of 95.84% is produced when players gamble 20 c to $/€8 per spin.

The pay symbols might look out of place in the stone-hewn environment, but they're bright and give Cash Goddess a classic slot feel. From bottom up, we find cherries, lemons, plums, oranges, grapes, watermelons, horseshoes, bells, and sevens. Five-of-a-kind winning lines award 2 to 15 times the stake. Wild symbols can land on any reel, and they expand to cover the entire reel upon landing. The wild substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and 5 wilds in a line are worth 50x.

Cash Goddess: Slot Features

Fairly common effects make up Cash Goddess' features, such as a Hold & Respin round, with local jackpot prizes, free spins, and feature buys.

Cash Symbols & Bonus Prizes

Cash symbols appear on all reels holding a cash value of 1x to 15x the bet or named bonus prizes. The possible bonus prizes are the 20x Mini, 100x Minor, 500x Major, or the 10,000x Mega.

Hold & Respin

Landing 6 or more Cash symbols triggers the Hold & Respin bonus round. All Cash symbols are held, and 3 respins are awarded. Each empty symbol position may land blanks or new Cash symbols. The number of respins is reset to 3 when a new Cash symbol lands. The bonus round ends when there are no more respins or no empty spaces on the grid.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters triggers 10 free spins and a payout of 3x, 20x, or 100x the bet, respectively. Each free spins scatter on the middle three reels during the feature awards an extra +10 free spins. During the round, scatters, wilds, and Cash symbols may only land on the middle three reels. Cash prizes holding Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega cannot land.

Any wild that lands on the middle three reels expands to a 3x3 Mega Wild covering the middle three reels. If 2 or 3 wilds land on the middle three reels, they expand into a Mega Wild with an x2 or x3 multiplier, respectively, which applies to all win lines the wild is part of. Hitting a Cash symbol on the middle three reels expands it to a 3x3 Mega Cash symbol. Its initial value is multiplied by 9 and applied to the Mega Cash symbol. If more than one Cash symbol lands, the values are added up first; then, the sum is multiplied by 9 and applied to the Mega Cash symbol. The Mega Cash symbol is held, and the Hold & Respin feature is triggered.

Feature Buy

Activating the Hold & Respin round instantly from the base game costs 50x the bet while activating free spins costs 40x the bet. When buying features, the RTP is 95.68%.

Cash Goddess: Slot Verdict

Imagine if there was a goddess of cash (maybe there is?) that rained down paper money on those she favoured. Cash Goddess, the slot, has a couple of ways of potentially raining down cash on lucky players, all of them pretty regular methods. From the bog standard Hold & Respin feature to free spins, don't expect to be thrown around on wild rides you've never been on before if taking Cash Goddess for a spin. The goal is pretty straightforward, though, if you like 'em simple. Break into the Hold & Respins round, and land the 10K prize symbol to get on the way to achieving the game's max 10,621x multiplier.

To its credit, Cash Goddess does a few tricks on the side to keep things ticking along. Wilds expand to reveal the main character, and free spins mix things up to a degree. This they do by morphing wilds into 3x3 Mega Wilds and Cash symbols into 3x3 Mega Cash symbols. Feature buys, too, are on the cheap side compared to what a lot of other games charge for their features. Of course, this doesn't guarantee big returns on investments, but free spins at 40x or the Hold & Win at 50x feels like a bargain compared to a lot of other slots. That could be a draw for some players, perhaps.

All up, while there might be uses for Cash Goddess, it's a basic game which does little that's out of the ordinary and is probably a better fit for players who are more interested in regular slot audiovisuals over rich themes, those unfussed by major innovations, or who don't want much getting in the way of a good ol' jackpot symbol chase.
