Cash Drop
Last updated: 2014-07-04
Cash Drop is a 20 fixed win lines game that consists of a draw area of 18 hexagons which will rotate on an axis and then stop, producing a random hexagon colour and icon. The player receives a payout for connecting icons and multiplier wins for connecting colours.
All of the hexagons associated with the reaction wins will disappear and new hexagons will fill in to the vacant spaces with new icon/colour combinations and then potentially create new wins. The player gets wins when 3 or more matching consecutive symbols (that connect the hexagons from left to right) occur on a payline. All icon wins are counted first. When 5 matching colours appear on a payline, a 'reactions is created and x2 bet per line payout is awarded.
There are 9 different possible icons that sit on one of 3 possible coloured hexagons. All wins are paid as per the paytable.
3 or more "Gold Seven" Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels results in a payout.

E.g.; One reaction with $1 bet/line followed by line wins
Player clicks on the Play button and the draw result produced is: 5 cherries (icon line 1 win) = $50
4 bells (icon line 6 win) = $70
A reaction with 5 red hexagons on a payline 1 (reaction win = x2 the stake per line = $2)
The hexagons involved in the reaction are replaced producing:
3 cherries (icon line 1 win) = $16 X 2 = $32
4 bells (icon line 6 win) (persistent win) =$70 x 2 = $140
Hence the total win for the game= 50+70+2+140+32 = $294 - Payout is calculated by multiplying the bet amount against the respective winning multiplier/odds.
- A breakdown of any icon wins will be displayed (talkback area) in the winnings display, which is situated on the right hand side of the play area.
