Cash Garden

Online slot players have come to rely on Multislot to consistently provide well-made games with outstanding return-to-player ratios, which are usually somewhat lacking in bonus features. In this final respect, the green-thumbed Cash Garden is a huge step forward for the company. Both free spins and a separate bonus feature are available, providing much-needed variation within gameplay, while the RTP remains extraordinary at 97.94%.

Theme

Two immensely relaxing hobbies – gardening and gambling – come together in this five-reel, three-line slot. Gaming symbols are all taken from the garden: wheelbarrows, potted flowers, watering cans, butterflies, shovels, rubber boots, beetles, and hedge clippers all make appearances on the reels, while a gloved hand acts as wild and a blue spray bottle acts as scatter. A bonus symbol will also appear on the middle three reels, triggering the bonus round when three or more symbols turn up on a given payline. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the reels are situated in an open green space with blue skies above. The soundtrack is soothing, like the hobby itself, with sound effects that wouldn’t seem out of place in a vintage Atari video game.

Betting Options and Functions

There are three ways to vary the bet in Cash Garden: bet size ( set from 0.05-1.00 times the betting currency), paylines (adjustable from one to 25), and bet per line (adjustable from one to five). As such, the overall bet range can be set from 0.05 to 25.00 times the betting currency per spin. Somewhat unusually for an online slot, autospin is not available in the traditional sense. There is a one-touch option to start and stop the reels, however, so it’s still easy to keep the game tempo up when players have the urge. Separate pop-up menus explain payouts, features, and pay lines, and game rules in detail.

Features

As previously mentioned, there are two bonus features to be unearthed in this game. Free spins are triggered by the appearance of three or more of the spray bottle scatter symbol – between five and an astonishing 100 free spins will be awarded. It must be said that, as far as free spins go, these are not the most exciting: free spins are exactly the same as base play, though without the cost of the initial wager. With that said, 100 free spins are sure to generate serious profits, with or without additional fancy bonuses.

The big step forward on Multislot’s part is the inclusion of a bonus round, which is triggered whenever three bonus feature symbols appear on a payline. The game is simple enough: players turn over golden medallions until two matching values are revealed. The bet size multiplies that value, and then receives a win multiplier of three before being paid out to the player. This small feature adds variety to a game that would be a bit monotonous without it.

Our Take

No one will claim Cash Garden to be the most progressive, thought-provoking slot ever designed. Nonetheless, this simple slot is beautifully-made, with an RTP that gives it a massive advantage over the competition. Bonus features, previously the weak point of Multislot games, are downright respectable. If Multislot can keep producing games up to and above this level, they will soon become a true powerhouse in the industry.
