There’s a vintage feel to the design here. On the reels are A to 10 royals as well as 5 brightly coloured geometric shapes. The best of these is the red star which pays 1 time your stake if you land 5 on adjacent reels. We’ve played plenty of Avalanche reels slot games but the action is a little different here.
Land a winner and the successful symbols are usually blasted away with the Avalanche feature. Here each winning symbol drops down to the bottom of the reels. If you manage to fill the whole of a row with the same matching symbol, then you’ll bring multipliers into play. The more rows of matching symbols, the bigger the multiplier:
- 1 row = 1x multiplier
- 2 rows = 2x multiplier
- 3 rows = 4x multiplier
- 4 rows = 10x multiplier
You can keep tabs on the multiplier via the meter to the left of the reels. That’s not the only meter you’ll see. Each time a scatter lands, it is collected in a second meter. Amass 10 or more during one set of avalanches and you’ll trigger the game’s Free Spins feature. You’ll then receive a minimum of 10 free spins.
Multipliers are in play for filling rows in the feature round just as in the base game – each row you fill will also give you 1 additional free spin. The size of these multipliers varies depending on how many scatters you collected during the trigger:
| Number of Rows | 10-14 Scatters | 15-19 Scatters | 20+ Scatters |
| 1 Row | 2x | 3x | 5x |
| 2 Rows | 3x | 6x | 10x |
| 3 Rows | 8x | 12x | 20x |
| 4 Rows | 20x | 30x | 50x |
It might look a little unusual and the soundtrack really is quite strange but Cash-O-Matic is actually a rather simple slot game. The Avalanches can deliver some very handy results if you get on a roll. That’s certainly the case if you get enough scatters to trigger the free spins with 1 of the higher multiplier levels. We found those free spins quite tricky to land mind you.
If you like the repetitive action on offer from Avalanche slot games but fancy a slight twist or 2 thrown in, then that’s just what you’ll find in Cash-O-Matic.
