Extra Cash!
The wombat says: Extra Extra! Read all about it! Those slot wizards at NextGen Gaming – those peeps behind the Jackpot Jester slot– have brought us Extra Cash slot, a game with a local paper theme. Yes really, a slot about the evening paper. Where do these designers get their ideas from? They literally must look out onto the street and just say what they see. Anyway, our hero on the reels is a paperboy on a mission to get the latest edition out to the kiosks. Let’s spin the reels and see if he makes it…
Look and Feel
The lovely rendered city backdrop provides the game’s atmosphere, and in classic NextGen style our paperboy pal stands by the reels cheering you on as you hit winning combos.
Game Play
Extra Cash! slot has is 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 pay-lines. As well as your standard 10, J, Q, K &A symbols on the reels, you’ll also find a stack of today’s newspapers, a cart for delivering said papers, an old fashioned wooden kiosk, a cute-looking pooch with a paper in his gummy chops, and a 1930s delivery van.
The Wild in the game is the symbol that says ‘Extra Wild’ on it, and does the usual job of substituting all other symbols on the reels (other than the Scatter) to help you land more winning combos.
There’s also a nice little bonus ‘Extra’ (ha ha ha, get it?) associated the Wild Symbol, too. During the base game the paperboy may randomly fling an extra Wild onto reels 2, 3 and 4 to help you out, and in the Free Spins round it can be added to any reel. Nice work!
Scatter and Free Spins
The Scatter in this slot is the Printing Press symbol triggers a free spins bonus round if you hit three or more on the reels anywhere. Depending on how many Scatters you land, you will win 8, 12, or 20 free spins. Not only that, if you hit a Wild during spins it will be held for the duration of the round.
Conclusion
A nice free spins round aside, there’s also an interesting feature in the base game. The ‘Re-Spin’ function activates if you hit two or more Scatters. The reels containing the Scatters are held and the remaining reels re-spin for a chance of extra wins or activating the bonus round. This can lead to some great Scatter wins. This game “only” has the one bonus round, but when the game is as loaded with extra features as Extra Cash, there can’t be any complaints.
