Cash Chips by Pragmatic Play is a video slot with five reels and twenty paylines that invites you, the player, to take a trip to the casino to experience everything it has to offer. And this particular experience provides everything from multiple free spins features to a collect-me system that can produce sizeable wins.
The theme and many elements are straight to the point in Cash Chips. They’re simple, but not in a bad way. Instead, players can just get on with spinning the reels while the upbeat audio plays in the background, which is the perfect combination in many ways.
The addition of two free spins options can’t be overlooked because it gives players a chance to choose which perk they feel will work out best for them, as well as providing some much-needed variety rarely seen in a free spins bonus round. And collecting Chips along the way is an excellent side quest.
The design on show in Cash Chips is interesting because it’s disco-like in one sense. But it also has the look of an online scratchcard too. Either way, the colours in use are punchy, and the graphics do grab your attention for the right reasons when you go to spin the reels.
Of course, what's on the reels counts because this is where the potential prizes will hopefully spring from. Again, the artwork is good, and a fair level of detail is used. The symbols are all either casino or slot game-related, which is great. Dice, playing cards, banknotes and horseshoes get things started, paying up to 2x for a line of five. Bells, cherries and red 7s pay 5x, 10x and 15x, respectively, while the wild is the top payer with possible prizes worth up to 25x.
There are a few features to go at in Cash Chips, and the first on the list is the Chip Symbol. Chip symbols are collected, and when X amount have been added to the meter, multipliers worth as much as 5,000x the bet can apply, which isn’t bad at all.
There’s also a free spins feature, but it has a bit more going on than standard features of this type. When players land three or more scatters on the reels in the base game, they will have to decide between Extra Wilds and Extra Chips.
In Extra Wilds, players will receive ten free spins and multipliers worth as much as 5x, as well as an extra number of wilds being added to the reels, with this number topping out at 75.
In Extra Chips, the number of free spins will be random, and so will the amount of Chips added. It’s possible to have up to fifteen free spins and 100 extra Chips. In both free spins rounds, landing another three scatters in view on the reels simultaneously will add ten free games to the running total and keep the feature alive.
Cash Chips is best described as a classic slot game with everything geared towards creating a casino-style vibe. It’s often the games that are straightforward that people buy into because they’re not too taxing, and this Pragmatic Play release certainly ticks that box. We’d go as far as describing it as a pragmatic approach from the studio. While it is a does what it says on the tin-style slot, it’s not overly basic, with multiple features and not one but two free spins offerings.
