Congo Cash

Overview Congo Cash slot

Congo Cash is the latest slot to be released by the developers at Pragmatic Play and it is obvious that the inspiration for this game has been inspired by physical slot machines. The slot invites you to go deep into the Congo jungle which is not as scary as it may first sound and it is well worth it as it will bring you close to landing some worthwhile top prizes.
The slot is styled with some exceptional jungle-themed graphics along with a variety of regular features and whilst there is nothing new the features are well worth landing.

Design and Symbols

Congo Cash offers a basic jungle-themed slot and I do appreciate that the theme is not generic and that is does have a close connection to the famous Congo region. In the backdrop of the game screen, you will see the majestical gorilla surrounded by flowers. Whilst the overall design does the job well there is nothing spectacular going on and maybe could have been a little more exciting, but you will soon realise that the slot really is all about the game area.
When it comes to the symbols you can expect to come across the usual playing card symbols 10 through to Ace and these are followed by Baboons, Frogs, Lemurs, Leopards along with the Gorillas. There are also the two special symbols which come in the form of a diamond which is the wild and a Butterfly that is the scatter.

Gameplay, Facts and Figures

When it comes to playing Congo Cash you have 5-reels and they hold either three or four symbols, the 1st and 5th reels hold four and the middle three reels hold three to give you 432 ways to win which is certainly worth playing for.
The slot has the capability for you to land 5,500x your stake on any single spin which is very generous and there is also a fixed Grand Jackpot up for grabs which is worth approximately 2,000x your stake. The volatility is medium, and the game suggests

that it will provide a long-term return of 96.51% which is in line with competitors slots.
When you are ready to play, the first thing that you need to do is choose the bet range that you are most comfortable playing with. The bet range starts from just $0.01 up to $2 however, as there is also a 20x multiplier applied to the line bet you will be spending from $0.20 to $40 per spin which is a wide enough range to appeal to a large audience.
When it comes to the rewards that are on offer, the largest return from a single spin equates to 5,500x your stake and this could result in you winning a life changing amount of $220,000 in cash. The Grand Jackpot can also provide you with winnings of $80,000 if you get lucky and land it.

Features

When it comes to the features there is a variety although one of the features added to this slot is the Diamond Wild and to be honest it is rather limited in what it can do. To start with it does not have the capability to land on all your reels, instead it will appear on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels, however four out of five reels is better than nothing and it can use its power to substitute for all other symbols to create a winning combination it is rather unfortunate though that it cannot form any direct combinations.

The Jewel Board is another feature on offer in Congo Cash and this is located at the top of your three middle reels and takes up the spot on the reels that would have been for the 4th symbol. These symbols spin themselves and can then award one of three prizes, however it is worth noting that this feature is only active during spins where you have landed the scatter which is represented by the butterfly on your first and fifth reels.

The rewards from the Jewel Board can include prizes of up to 200x the stake, one of the three fixed jackpots which are either the minor, midi or grand and are worth up to 25x to 2,000x your stake or 8 – 100 free spins.
If you are lucky enough to get the free spins going, you will see that the reel with the Jewel Board Trigger located on the top will get an extra wild added to it. This then concludes the extras and features that this slot has to offer.

Conclusion

Congo Cash is a slot that would be a good choice for all manner of players as it has a great theme and a great mix when it comes to the features. It is not the type of slot that would be classed as typical but with the eclectic mix of things for you to enjoy.
When it comes to the visuals you may feel that it has a dated appearance and it is this style that you will either like or not, but this does not have any bearing on the actual game. The Jewel Board is an innovative feature which also gives the slot something to make it stand out from the rest of the offerings in this genre. For me though the thought of possibly landing 100 free spins really kept me going particularly if I was going through a dry spell of spins.
I enjoyed playing Congo Cash and would rate it as a solid 7/10, I would have no hesitation to recommend it to all types of players, both old and new.
