Cosmic Cash

If you're as obsessed with aliens and the best online slot games, then the cocktail on today's review should orbit your fancy. Cosmic Cash is a new slot release with a fairly basic structure, but in this title, it's all about the bonus features. The headline feature entails respins that come with a final reward that could possibly be the blast-off you need. We'll also go over the free spins feature, which comes with the potential of more spins than you can count. So, let's all board this rocket ship to the reels of Cosmic Cash to see what iGamers are in store for.

Cosmic Cash has an archaic look, although we're pretty positive that it was intended to be this way. The theme is all about aliens, although these aren't the monsters portrayed in modern movies, but rather the aliens that were made famous through comic books around the Area 51 saga. The online casino games developer that created this slot is Wild Streak Gaming, and not to worry if you've never heard of it, as it's a subsidiary of Pragmatic Play. This is a studio most will be familiar with, recently releasing Gate of Olympus and Extra Juicy Megaways to much acclaim. Cosmic Cash has been made compatible with mobile devices using iOS and Android, so playing while out on the move is an option during those tedious commutes.

As mentioned in the intro, there isn't too much that will confuse players about the mechanics of Cosmic Cash. There are 5 reels by 4 rows making for a normal-looking grid, while a healthy 40 paylines is where you can land 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combinations. The most you’ll be able to win here is 2,650x your stake, which could be a number considered a failure to launch. We’ve seen online slots lately that push the max win as high as 50,000x your stake, which will explain our disappointment in this area. Regardless, you’ll be able to wager anything from 0.40 all the way up to 200 per spin, making for a wide selection for iGamers of all budgets.

Cosmic Cash has a broad symbol selection, with 6 lower value icons and 6 higher paying icons. The lower paying ones are playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, while the higher values consist of an alien gun, a rocket ship, a one-eyed alien, a bat-eared alien, a retro-styled lady in outter space and an alien pulling a peace sign. The groovy alien is the highest paying regular symbol in the game.

There are three extra symbols that can fall on the reels that aren't considered 'regular'. One is the wild, which acts as all regular symbols when needed to complete a winning line. The only symbols the wild can't sub is the scatter and gold coin.

The gold coin is integral to the Respins feature. In order to trigger the feature, you'll need to land six or more gold coins on the reels on the same spin. You're then taken to another screen with a 4x5 grid, where the six or more coins that triggered the feature have remained sticky. You'll have three respins where only gold coins can land, and when one does, it moves to the right-most reel. A coin landing also resets respins to 3. If you fill a row with four coins, it expands by 2 more reels. Landing 6 coins on a row will award a prize alongside that row. The prizes are determined before the respins start and vary from multiplier, access to the free spins and a jackpot. There’s a Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpot, with the grand worth 2,500x your stake.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters will reward you with 10, 20 or 50 free spins. While we might feel the max win amount is stingy, then the possible 50 free spins aren't bad at all. If you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters during free spins, then another dose of free spins will be added to the original amount.

Cosmic Cash isn't the type of online slot that makes you feel your stake has unlimited possibilities. This is because the returns aren't as solid as what you might be used to, especially if you like to bet small. The bonus features are quite good, however, with special mention being a possible 100 free spins if you trigger the feature with five scatters and land another five scatters during the free spins. If your hopes were really high prior to reading this review, it might be time to re-enter Earth's atmosphere, where more slots are ready to play, right here.
