Roll Up! Roll Up! All the fun of the fair! Load up the exciting Cash Coaster slot at Bet365 Games and you can almost smell the whiff of candy floss and sizzling burgers and onions on this unashamed tribute to the fairground’s most impressive ride, the rollercoaster.
This cleverly designed slot was developed by IGT and incorporates a rollercoaster on the first and fifth reels, which plays an integral part in the game. Taking their cue from the coaster, the remainder of the slot evokes some happy memories as the symbols on the reel, the music and sound effects and the backdrop are all linked in with the fairground theme.
So strap yourself into your seat and make sure all your valuables are securely attached because Cash Coaster could be a hell of a ride, given it’s accessible pricing structure and the number of funfair-themed bonus games on offer.
Key Information
Cash Coaster is a 5×3 reel slot with 30 paylines, however on top of covering each payline with your bet you also pay a small amount towards the features on the slot. Hence to cover all 30 paylines plus the feature, the minimum bet is £0.40 and the maximum bet is £400.
However, before you think that this doesn’t offer great value for money, one thing you should note is that on the Cash Coaster slot, all paylines pay both ways across the reels. This means you can trigger a winning payline from left to right as is usual on a slot, but also from the right side to the left.
In effect, this means you have 60 different paylines in operation and then suddenly your £0.40 wager starts to look great value for money. Especially when you consider that this is a generally a low variance slot (though at times, it can play like a medium variance game).
What this means, like on most pays both ways slots, is that you tend to win relatively regularly on the Cash Coaster slot. Most of these wins are on the small side of course, but there are the occasional bigger base game wins which helps keep your account topped up and of course when you trigger the bonus features, bigger wins become more probable.
Credit to IGT for their work on the setting of the slot too. As I’ve already briefly mentioned, it is set in a funfair with the rollercoaster as the main setting for the reels, but on the reels and in the soundtrack in particular, IGT have brought to life all the sounds of a fair, especially when the Rollercoaster Wilds kick into action on the first and last reels.
That feature is the special in game Wild and when the coaster rolls down the first reel, or up the fifth or on occasion both, then you have that reel wild for that spin in its entirety, which can also help you land some nice base game wins. This feature is in addition to the single Wild symbols which show up anywhere across the five reels during the game.
To launch the free spins bonus round you need to land the Bonus symbol on reels 2,3 and 4 on a single spin. This takes you to a selection screen where you pick from one of three ticket booths each of which offers either 4, 5 or 6 free spins.
Once you make your selection you play through your free spins, but to help you land some bigger value wins both the first and fifth reels are completely wild for the duration of the free spins round. Furthermore, if you land three more scatter bonuses during free spins, you can retrigger the bonus up to a maximum of 200 free spins.
How to win playing the Cash Coaster slot
The first thing to note as a player targeting a slot in terms of attempting to make it a profitable experience playing, is value for money and Cash Coaster has this in spades, chiefly due to the pays both ways feature.
In effect, this doubles the 30 available paylines to 60 per spin, but you only pay for the equivalent of 40 paylines. That is great value, especially when you consider that the rollercoaster wild can turn reel 1 or reel 5, or both, wild at any point in the game alongside the single wilds across the reels.
Add to this the fact that Cash Coaster is a relatively low variance game, then I would suggest a strong strategy here is to play this slot for as much as you comfortably can per spin. Sure most of your base game wins tend to be around the same amount as your stake, but the occasional bigger one should top you up and ensure that the slot doesn’t eat away too much of your bankroll.
The key to the bigger wins in this game is triggering the bonus features as often as possible, so that means you should target a lengthy session with as many spins as possible. Free Spins are generally small in number, but the potential payouts are excellent given that reels 1 and 5 are wild for the duration of the free spins and the pay both ways feature is in operation then too. Plus there is always the chance of retriggering free spins which does happen from time to time.
Cash Coaster is a relatively simple game that rewards players who can play it for a lengthy period to unlock the main features. Played at a sensible stake compared to your bankroll, this is a slot you can win regular smaller amounts on, plus the occasional bigger win, on to build a bankroll by targeting the special features of the game.
