Cactus Riches Cash Pool Slot Review

Being in a cast and immobilized is a b*tch any time of year, but on New Year’s, it sucks the big one!

I know because I was in just such a predicament many years ago. I went to a buddy’s place for this massive New Year’s Eve party. There were bands, food, and loads of people. And for the first half of the evening, I was mostly stuck sitting at a table.

The second half of the evening is less clear in my memory. I guess sitting and drinking copious amounts of beer and whiskey will corrupt those memory bank folders.

I woke up on New Year’s Day, half naked, on a spare couch 🛋️ that had been moved out next to the pool. There was a half-dressed lady snoring next to me. My cast was soaking wet, and my foot was freezing,🥶 just steeping in cold damp.

I apparently got tired of sitting, abandoned my crutches, and went swimming🏊. I had told everyone I thought it was easier to move around in water.

But a waterlogged plaster cast gets really heavy on a broken limb. So they moved the couch for me, and that’s where I stayed.

A few days later, I went to the doctor because my cast had started to smell awful. It turns out that your skin will start to turn into soup and stink if it never gets dry.

I spent days trying to scrape the fleshy muck out with every long instrument I could find. 🤢

The lesson we can all take away is that a plaster cast and a pool don’t work out. Not as well as the Cash Pool in Cactus Riches Cash Pool slot from Netgame anyway.

Gameplay

When you fire up Cactus Riches Cash Pool slot, you’ll see the standard 5 reels with 4 positions each. And you should know there are 40 paylines to win here.

You can instantly tell this game is set up to be played on your phone in portrait mode. There is a 5x4 Cash Pool grid above the reels, making quite a tall, skinny game area, and all your controls sit underneath the reels.

Speaking of the controls, you can adjust your betting amount from as little as €0.30 up to €60 by hitting the + and - signs on either side of your current betting amount.

The biggest multiplier you can achieve is 2,503x. And the most you can win from Cactus Riches Cash Pool slot is €150,180. Nothing to scoff at, but this is a pretty low maximum win for a high-volatility slot.

And finally, this game has an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.

Features

WILDS

The Wild symbol is a red chili, and it substitutes for all regular paying symbols in the base game except for the Scatter and Cash Pool symbols.

During Free Spins, it also acts as a Cash Pool symbol.

SCATTERS

The Scatter symbol is a green chili symbol, and it only lands on reels 1, 3, and 5, and you need to land 3 to trigger 10 Free Spins.

FREE SPINS

During Free Spins, the regular Wild symbol becomes a Wild Cash Pool symbol and will contribute to triggering the Cash Pool feature and awarding the corresponding cash prize.

You can retrigger 4 or 10 Free Spins by landing 2 or 3 Scatter symbols, respectively.

CASH POOL

As I mentioned, there is a Cash Pool grid above the reels. Each position on the Cash Pool contains cash rewards that are linked to your current bet.

You need to land 4 or more of any of the 2 Cash Pool symbols, Red and Gold, to be awarded an instant cash prize.

The Gold Cash Pool symbol will upgrade its corresponding prize before being awarded.

Performance

I tested this slot on my Android phone and Windows laptop. I didn’t experience any hitches during my playthrough.

Maximum Win

The betting limit is €0.30 to €60, and if you’re betting the highest stake and hit the biggest multiplier the game has of 2,503x, you’re awarded the game’s maximum prize of €150,180.

Conclusion

Cactus Riches Cash Pool slot is a bright, colorful Mexican-themed slot. Although it may not be the best-looking, it certainly brings something different to the table with the Cash Pool mechanic.

Choosing to use so many colors in the game confused me to begin with. I assumed the color of the Cash Pool position had something to do with matching the color of the Cash Pool symbol. But it turned out not to matter.

Whichever Cash Pool symbol, including the Wild, awards the corresponding prize and the Gold Cash Pool symbol improves the reward before paying out.

This game is very mobile-friendly. They made the size and shape of a smart phone in portrait mode work considerably well. You can walk around or sit on your couch and play easily.

The only things I don’t like about this game are the lack of a Buy Bonus and the fact that the max win is rather stingy compared to other high-volatility games these days.
