Cash Crazy is a fun-filled classic slot, designed and developed by Microgaming. This slot has a little bit of a crazy inventor type of theme going on, with the mad old man the key to unlocking the jackpot that this non-progressive slot carries. Cash Crazy is organised neatly enough, with the pay table off to the right of the screen, the reels in the upper left hand side, menu bar on the bottom and the logo sitting in the bottom left of the screen.
Cash Crazy is a classic slot, so gamers won’t be surprised to find that it contains 3 reels and only 1 payline. Coin values range from $0.25 up to $5, whilst a total of two coins per line can be staked. Players have the option of wagering from a minimum level of $0.25, up to a maximum of $10 per spin.
A number of icons are worked into the design of this slot. Low paying icons include the famous classic slot icon, cherries, and single bars. Double bars and triple bars make up some of the mid-paying icons, whilst at the very top of the icon totem are sevens and the old man icon. The old man icon is particular importance in this slot.
The crazy inventor (old man, or professor as some people proclaim) is actually a wild symbol in this slot. When it appears on a payline it can substitute itself for an icon that the player needs to win. It also doubles a win when it appears, although if two appear the win is met with a 4x multiplier instead. In this sense, Cash Crazy is somewhat different from other classic slots, in that is has both wilds and multipliers worked into its design.
We’ve already mentioned the symbols briefly, so it would probably be good to learn about what they offer. Any 1 or 2 cherries, or any 3 bars will pay out small sums of coins, whilst 3 single bars or 3 cherries will reward the player with 10 or 20, and 20 or 40 coins respectively, depending on whether 1 or 2 coins have been staked. 3 double bars pay up 25 or 50 coins, 3 triple bars pay out 50 or 100 coins, and 3 sevens cough up 100 or 200 coins, again depending on whether the player has wagered 1 or 2 coins in this classic online slot.
If a player manages to accumulate 3 wild icons on the payline, they will win one of two jackpots. 800 coins are paid out for 3 wilds with a single coin wagered; whilst that doubles to 1,600 coins if 2 coins are wagered in this slot. Even though the wilds are needed to win the jackpot, no multipliers are paid out for the jackpot.
The fact that Microgaming has decided to utilise wild icons and multipliers in this slot makes it worthy of a look. The coin payouts are pretty fair in comparison to the minimum and maximum wagers and the total number of icons the slot has.
Cash Crazy isn’t the most renowned of Microgaming’s classic slots, although its top jackpot of $8,000 coins will turn some heads. This top jackpot can only be won though, with the maximum wager staked.
If you’re looking for a run of the mill classic slot, this probably isn’t what you’re after. But for gamers who like classic slots and are growing tired of 3 reeled fruit machines with no special features, then this slot is the next step up from that.
