Cash Pump Slot Review

Released in October 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Guts, LeoVegas or Unibet.

Theme and general information

Cash Pump is quite unusual. We get a retro theme here, which takes us back to the 50s in the United States. There’s the Route 66 in the background, a hint of adventure and the reels are set inside an old-fashioned gas pump.

The retro look is very well done, and we get a cool-looking slot. Play’n GO always pays great attention to detail, which shows in Cash Pump as well. It’s really not difficult to imagine we’re on the Route 66.

The setup is as unique as the theme. We get four sets of reels that share the screen. Each set comes with 3 reels and 5 paylines. So, in some way we get 12 reels and 20 paylines. On the reels we find mostly classic fruit slot symbols such as plums, oranges, cherries, BAR symbols, triple 7s, melons, a scatter and a wild symbol.

The BAR symbol is the most valuable, paying 5x our stake for 3 of a kind. The triple 7 pays out 2.5x our stake for such a win. The fruit symbols are worth between 0.25x our stake to 1x our stake for 3 of a kind.

You can play this game from 0.20 to 100.00 per spin.

Stacked wilds and multipliers

Cash Pump is a little wild when you spin the reels and four sets of reels start spinning. It’s fun and fast-paced. Across the 5 paylines on each set of reels, wins are paid out individually. You can get a win on each reel set or you get a win on just one of them. Often, of course, you won’t get a win on any of them as this is a very volatile slot.

Look out for the wild symbol, who is a race car driver. Or perhaps he’s a daredevil stunt driver. Who knows. He has a wicked grin and wears a helmet and he only lands on the middle reel of each reel set. Usually, he’ll just fulfil the regular duties of a wild symbol. But when he lands stacked on any of the four middle reels, the stacked reel will be copied to all the other reel sets as well. Any win you may get will also have a random multiplier between 1x and 4x applied.

That’s about it for features in the base game. It’s not much, but it can yield some decent wins here and there.

Free spins with more multipliers

You need four scatters to trigger the free spins in this game. When that happens, you get 7 free spins. During the free spins, wins can be multiplied by 1x to 4x. Which one you get depends on where the gauge lands on each spin.

More importantly, if you manage to collect 4 more scatters (there’s a counter that keeps track), you can get an additional 5 free spins. Also, the multipliers are climbing.

From the initial 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x, they next climb to 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x. And even that needn’t be the end of things. If you collect another 4 scatters, you’ll receive 5 more free spins and the multipliers increase in the same pattern. There is no limit to how much the multipliers can increase as long as you keep retriggering the free spins.

Conclusion: A highly volatile slot with an unusual gameplay

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Cash Pump is 96.86%, which is awesome. Do be aware, however, that casinos are able to lower it to as little as 94.75%. Of course, as already mentioned, this is a highly volatile slot and we get a maximum payout of 10,000x our stake, which is brilliant and twice what most Play’n GO slots have on offer.

Cash Pump is a high-octane game and it can be a lot more fun than it looks. It’s a little repetitive as well, since we only get one feature that rarely shows in the base game and you may not be able to re-trigger the free spins for those awesome multiplier increases. If you do like fairly simple and volatile slots with big payouts, Cash Pump may be a great option for you. It is certainly not as complicated as it looks with its four reel sets.
