Tin Can Cash

Tin Can Cash Overview

Players are welcomed to the funfair in this newest game from Inspired Gaming, where players aim to try to knock as many cans off the reels as possible. Doing so will increase an attached multiplier that boosts the size of your wins and your take-home cash amount. However, there is much more at play than just this bonus. Mechanically this is a five-reel, three-row game with 20 pay lines. The RTP here is a little low at 95%. The maximum win for this game is 2,500x the stake.

The features here start with the free spins round, triggered when players land three or more of the bonus scatters on the reels at the same time. All low-value symbols are removed for this bonus game, and the feature only ends when all reels have a tin can in them. The next feature is the wild boost bonus. Every time the wild lands, it can replace other symbols to help form wins and will increase the attached multiplier to boost the size of your wins. Finally, there is also a spin chance bonus. All features will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a classic funfair or carnival. This means the reels are full of rubber ducks, balloons, and stuffed toys, each representing a carnival game. The overall feel of this game is high quality; however, the detail isn’t that amazing. The modern funfair, or in the US carnival as we know it today, has its roots in the 19th-century circus – a travelling consortium of live shows, food and beverage vendors and games of chance. In the modern era, mechanical rides are a big part of the funfair, replacing many of the traditional talent shows as the main entertainment.

The background for this slot is a traditional outdoor funfair setting with tent tops and bunting visible all around the screen. This particular carnival seems to have picked the perfect day to come to town as the weather presents a cloudless blue sky. Most of the background is made up of this blue sky, yet there are also green sections of bushes and some tall towers in the environment too.
The playing window has been designed to look like a stall with red and white panelling and a big sign at the top.

The symbols have been split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols are the J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. The A is the most valuable of these paying out at 0.3x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the higher value symbols are the dolls, go-kart, duck, hot dog, and ice cream cone. The ice cream is the most valuable, worth 25x your bet for the top combination. The specials are the wild, the super wild, and the laughing can free spin scatter.

Features

The main feature in this game is the free spin game, triggered by landing three or more of the bonus scatters on the reels at the same time. During this feature, all of the low-value symbols are removed from the reels, upping the value of the spins. In addition, at any time during the feature, the tin can may appear. The free spins game ends when each reel has a tin can on it.

Any wild that lands on the board with a tin can above it in this feature will remove the tin and boost the attached multiplier for the game. On the other hand, any super-wilds will remove all tin cans and increase the multiplier by the number of cans removed from the reels. The current multiplier will boost the payouts at the ends of the feature.

The spin chance automatically triggers when the player’s balance becomes below the stake but above zero. The game will, at this point, gives you one last chance to stake your remaining credit on one more spin.

Conclusion

Simple carnival fun but with a poor win potential, this game might be one that is enjoyed more in demo mode. The fact that the volatility rating isn’t revealed is also quite strange. However, we suspect it to be very high, as features and wins when we played were few and far between.
