Money talked and I was listening in Cash N’ Riches Megaways Online slot by Microgaming and Triple edge studios, a title with a game show theme, a 6x7 reel, 117649 payline layout, and high volatility gameplay. The slot’s simple looks feature a sparkly background with gold-framed reels and a cash ball that hovers above the bright jackpot indicators next to the grid. The Rolling Reels mechanic removed my winning symbols from the grid, letting more fall in their place and the Megaways Mechanic made sure that every spin came with varying paylines. The bonus features include free spins and wilds and this game plays across all platforms.

Jackpot Pick Game
The cash ball I mentioned earlier played more than just a cosmetic role. Every time wild symbols appeared on the reels they were collected in the gleaming sphere which would randomly trigger a mini-game where I was offered 12 face-down tokens to choose from. I had to uncover 3 matching icons to win a corresponding jackpot prize with the Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega, jackpots paying 15x, 50x, 100x, and 5,000x my stake, respectively.
Free Spins
Landing the four scatters that spelt out CASH on a single spin awarded me with 12 free spins with any additional scatters handing me an extra 5 free spins each. While this feature was active, a win multiplier was active, starting at 1x and increasing by +1 with every Rolling Reels cascade. If 3 or 4 scatters showed up in the top reel, the feature was retriggered and I gained an extra 5 or10 free spins.
Cash N’ Riches Megaways slot simply doesn’t go far enough, in fact, I’m not sure it even left home. Cash themed slots are a staple of online gambling and as such, they expend a lot of effort vying for players’ attention with over-the-top themes drenched in cash and other symbols of wealth accompanied by impressive jackpots. In the case of this game, the money element feels subdued with the disco-inspired visuals and soundtrack dominating my sensory experience.
The gameplay didn’t fare much better in my eyes. While the features functioned without a hitch, there were very few moments of genuine excitement. With all this considered, the slot’s relatively minuscule top potential of $100 000 per spin made no sense to me at all and left me grasping for reasons as to why anyone would choose this title even over a much older similarly-themed game. Newbies and super-casual players might be the targets for this creation, but anyone with a measure of experience with slots will likely dismiss this as an underwhelming effort.
