Cashapillar from Microgaming: Slot Review - a great name to start with...

Don’t you too love Microgaming’s creativity when it comes to naming its online games? Of course, the slot game loads seamlessly and never lags. Payline information is handily displayed to the left of the reel and even the speed of the game is adjustable. Typical Microgaming!

Special Features

Most players that are somewhat familiar with the Microgaming selection will know that Cashapillar is a jackpot slot machine. In this slot, the jackpots are the main attraction. You read this correctly. Two non-progressive jackpots are available on this slot machine. First, one which amounts to 2 million coins, and a second one (available in free spins), which amounts to 6 million coins. Now, all you need to know if how to get into that free spins mode.

The cake in this slot machine isn’t just something that the bugs are after, it triggers the free spins bonus game. Players need to receive at least three cake symbols, anywhere on any reel. Aside from providing a chance for the big jackpot, the cake symbol also enables multipliers. 15 free spins are awarded and if you win throughout these rounds, the wins are tripled. Even better, if the wild symbol, the Cashapillar logo, completes the winning combination a 6x multiplier is applied. These extra features make up for the fact that hitting the jackpot comes at snail’s pace and is as rare as the rhino beetle in winter!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

Microgaming has drawn on nature, to come up with this theme and wrapped its Cashapillar slot game in fittingly colourful design. The background is a bright blue, the letter symbols bold and the snails, caterpillars, rhino beetles, ladybirds and wasps super detailed. The little ‘buggers’ that feature in this slot machine are a cute little party with pretty powerful abilities – well, at least, if we trust in the slot machine’s name.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

If there was a ‘Bet Max’ button ever so handy, it has to be the one on Cashapillar. Given that this slot machine comes with 100 paylines, and coin sizes, varying from 0.01 to 0.02, you don’t want to find yourself clicking hundreds of times until you finally reach the maximum. Furthermore, the game offers a so-called Expert Mode, which is quite handy as it allows the software to run without asking you for much input or interaction. The number of auto spins can be defined prior to starting the mode, allowing players to sit back and enjoy the game. Given that there are no Pick Games available in this slot machine, this mode is recommendable to players who do not stop short at ten spins.

Our Verdict on Cashapillar

6-Million-Coin Jackpot, need I say more? Cashapillar is true to its name. If you aren’t that lucky (and high wins are hard to hit), the second part of the name still rings true and the expertly designed bugs not only bring you joy but also fairly frequent wins. While these may be insignificant alone, combined all wins can amount to quite a nice sum. Cashapillar deserves top marks for its design, and a bonus point for its jackpots!
