How Cash Quest works

Cash Quest is a slot machine developed and published by the successful online game provider Hacksaw Gaming. This provider is making a name for itself in the slots market and you can find Cash Quest in more and more online casinos since its release on October 26th 2021. You will be subject to a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.34%, which ranks this slot as average. Volatility is, surprisingly for a Hacksaw Gaming slot, ranked as average while the maximum winning potential will allow you to win up to 7,500 times your starting bet. The starting grid is in a 6x6 square format with 6 columns of 6 symbols. These symbols must be connected in a group in order to get paying connections in the form of cascading clusters. We'll come back to the free spins bonus in more detail later, but the real interesting feature of this slot is called Boostbar. This technology invented by Hacksaw Gaming and inaugurated with this creation can be triggered at any time in the base game. As soon as a book symbol with the Boostbar "BB" logo falls on the grid, the slot title moves aside to reveal an additional reel, placed horizontally. On this reel, different symbols can appear, triggering different features once all possible connections have been made:

• A lock stone blocks its position during this use of the Boostbar, so it prevents other functions from being triggered, it is better to avoid it

• The magic lantern jumps on the grid and empties it of all its symbols in order to trigger a new waterfall. It then disappears from the Boostbar to reveal a new symbol

• A pay symbol with a green number means that this symbol will be placed on the grid as many times as its number indicates (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 symbols can be placed)

• A WILD with a green number means that this WILD will be placed on the grid as many times as its number indicates (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 WILDs can be placed)

• A pay symbol with a purple number means that the pay connections of this symbol will be multiplied by the purple number. If two identical symbols have a multiplier in the Boostbar, their values will be added together before multiplying the winnings. Possible symbol multipliers in base game are x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x25 and x30

• A single multiplier acts on all the winnings in that round. If there are multiple multipliers on the Boostbar, their values will be added together before the winnings are multiplied. The possible multipliers in base game are x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x25, x50 and x100

When a symbol from the Boostbar is used, it is removed and replaced by a new symbol and therefore potentially a new feature.

The different symbols in Cash Quest

In addition to the Boostbar symbol and the Free Spins symbol, you may encounter 10 pay symbols in Cash Quest. They can be separated into two distinct categories according to their rarity:

• Premium symbols are the rarest and therefore pay the most. They are represented by a flask, a gold coin, a sword, a dragon and a gold mask

• Common symbols make connections easier, but these pay much less. They are represented by bones, a skull, a boot, a leg of ham and a shield

You will find in the screens above, each symbol and its value according to the extent of its connection. These values correspond to a bet of 1 €.

The different connections in Cash Quest

There are many different ways to connect in Cash Quest. In fact, there are no predefined paylines in this slot machine. In order to make valid connections with the pay symbols and get winnings, at least 5 of the same symbols must be placed on adjacent boxes. This kind of group is called a cluster. The symbols used in a payout connection are removed from the grid to allow new symbols to fall from above and potentially cascade into new connections in the same game round. You will find on the image below, an example of a valid connection and an example without any connection in order to better understand how it works.

How the Cash Quest Bonus works

Like many players, your favorite part of playing a slot machine is when you finally get the bonus? Let's find out about Cash Quest's free spins. You'll need 3 scroll free spins symbols anywhere on the grid on a single pay spin to trigger the Cash Quest bonus. You will be awarded 10 free spins and it will not be possible to retrigger since this scatter does not appear during the bonus. There are a few notable differences in the free spins. First of all, the Boostbar symbol appears much more often to trigger the feature at the heart of this slot.

The numbers displayed on the symbols in the Boostbar also differ slightly:

• Paying symbols -> 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 symbols

• WILDs -> 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 20 WILDs

• Symbol multipliers -> x5, x10, x25, x50 or x100

• Global multipliers -> x5, x10, x25, x50 or x100

If you don't want to go hunting for scrolls and wait for your free spins, you can buy the bonus in exchange for 119 times your starting bet.
