Cannonball Cash is a video slot game developed by Red Tiger in association with R7. It boasts a pirate theme with a bright and sunny atmosphere. The game utilizes a 5-reel, 3-row layout with a 243 ways to win system.
Symbols and Payouts:
The slot features a mix of low-paying and high-paying symbols. Low-paying symbols are represented by classic playing card ranks (10 to A), while high-paying symbols include pirate-themed items like a bottle of rum, a hook, coins on a map, a treasure chest, and a parrot. The most valuable symbol is the parrot, awarding 50 times the bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.
A pearl-bearing oyster symbol acts as the Wild symbol, appearing only on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes for all other paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. The Scatter symbol is a skull and crossbones flag, appearing solely on the first and fifth reels. Landing two Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins round.
Core Gameplay Mechanics:
Cannonball Cash incorporates a Chain Reaction mechanic. Winning symbols disappear from the reels after a payout, allowing new symbols to fall into place. This process continues as long as new winning combinations are formed, offering the potential for consecutive wins on a single spin.
Bonus Features:
There are two main bonus features in Cannonball Cash:
- Cannonball Ladder: This is a progressive meter located beside the reels. Each winning combination increases the meter by one step. Climbing the ladder unlocks picks in the Cannonball Bonus, which becomes available after spins that contribute to the ladder.
- Cannonball Bonus: Activated after reaching specific levels on the Cannonball Ladder, this bonus replaces the reels with a grid of cannons. Players choose cannons to reveal instant cash prizes or multipliers ranging from 1x to 100x the bet, applied to their base game wager. The higher the player climbs the Cannonball Ladder, the more picks they receive and the greater the potential multiplier rewards.
- Free Spins: Landing two Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 8 free spins. During Free Spins, any Wild symbols that land merge onto the center position of the middle reel and stay locked for the remainder of the round. Each additional merging Wild increases the multiplier applied to winning combinations for the rest of the Free Spins. It's important to note that the Cannonball Bonus is not available during Free Spins.
