Pack and Cash

Overview Pack and Cash

Play 'n GO invite you to a setting not usually associated with the glitz and glamour of online gambling. Indeed, Play ‘n GO have set their most recent slot game in a warehouse. Before you discount this as a crazy idea, you should first consider the amazing prizes on offer and the exciting playing dynamic that Play 'n Go has created especially for this game. Unlike traditional slots, the symbols in this game spin horizontally from left to right and come with the enticing promise of cascades too.

In terms of features, this multifaceted game has a total of an amazing 6 bonuses. These include the aforementioned cascade dynamic, a win multiplier bonus, and mystery symbols. Joining these bonuses are the special delivery features, which can be triggered on any spin. These give you either extra wilds or remove the lower-paying symbols from the board to provide you with more chance of scoring those high-value combinations. Finally, this game also has a free spins feature. All of these bonuses will be elaborated on further in this review.

Theme and Symbols

The Pack & Cash slot game, as we have mentioned, is set in a warehouse, yet despite this relatively mundane environment, Play' n' GO have managed to make this quite the visually enticing slot. The first thing that you notice when opening up the game is how bright it is; unlike real warehouses, which are typically dingy and grey, there is plenty of colour on show here. This includes the yellow forklift truck, the orange Pack and Cash machine, and the various symbols that come in many different colours. The other thing you notice is the board's fun shelves formation, which gives the impression of the symbols being on a conveyor belt.
The background for this slot game is the inside of the warehouse. Shelves as far as the eye can see dominate the board's surroundings, with boxes of various shapes and sizes piled on top of each. The one standout feature of the background is the forklift truck which looks ready to go with plenty of packages already loaded onto its pallet.

On the other hand, the board looks like some sort of three-tiered sorting machine with conveyor belt shelves. Its innovative visual design and the way it fits perfectly with the theme are both tremendous and perfect examples of how Play' n' GO have worked very hard to make this rather tricky theme work for them.

3 different types of symbols dominate the reels. The first set are the low-value symbols. These are comprised of the A to 9 royals. Next up are the higher-paying symbols. These include the various parcels of different shapes. These include a duck, a heart, a rugby ball and trophies. The heart is the most value out of these, paying out at 3x your stake for 5 in combination. The specials are the other type of symbols here. These comprise the suitcase, which represents the wild and the globe with a flying parcel which represents the bonus scatter.

Features

The first feature for this game is the cascading reels feature. This feature is activated when players score a winning combination. The winning symbols are removed from the board and immediately replaced by a new set from above to try and find another win from the same spin. This feature continues until the new set does not trigger a win.

Second, on the feature list is the Win Multiplier feature. This is brought into play every time that you trigger a cascade. Every cascade that you trigger successively adds 1x to an attached multiplier which begins at 1x on your first cascade. The feature ends when a new cascade does not form a win. However, in theory, there is no upper limit to the multiplier that can be achieved.
Next is the Express Packages feature. The symbol that you need to be aware of for this bonus is the express package symbol representing the mystery symbol for this game. As many as 8 of these symbols can land at any one time. When they land on the reels, all iterations of this symbol will turn into the same symbol and thereby help to trigger wins.
Joining these features are the Special Delivery Features. These can be activated on any spin directly after a winless spin. Two bonuses are explained below:

-Extra Wild feature: A wild is added to 1 of the first 3 vertical reels from the left of the game grid.
-Symbol Remover feature: A random group of symbols are removed from the grid, and a new cascade follows.
You are guaranteed to land at least one winning combination when you trigger the special delivery feature.
Finally, there is the free spins feature. To trigger this bonus, players have to land 3 or more of the globe scatters on the reels simultaneously. The number of spins you are awarded is determined by the number of scatters you land the bonus with. The maximum you can be awarded is 20.

As in the base game, the win multiplier feature is active in this game. However, the multiplier value does not reset in the free spins round if you get a winless cascade. Express package symbols are also more likely to land in this bonus round.

Conclusion

Despite the odd setting and style, Play' N' Go have made this slot really work. From the novel and exciting theme to the feature-rich gameplay, Pack and Cash has a lot to offer players of all types. The 10,000x stake top payout, if nothing else, should have players ready to deposit and have a few spins here. RTP and variance stats are pretty encouraging too.
