Cashed in Stone

Another trip back to the past, more specifically to the Stone Age that looks like never before.

Cashed in Stone is a video slot brought by CORE Gaming, a provider stationed in Birmingham, England, present on the iGaming scene since 2007.

Playable on most mobile devices, operating systems and browsers, the title features 6 reels, 4 rows and 4096 paylines.

As soon as the loading screen ends, you will realize that this is a hilarious one-armed bandit.

Pretty good cartoon-style graphics with the funny character all around the screen will definitely keep you entertained...

...while a surprisingly large stack of features will delight all of you content lovers out there.

Of course, you will find out more about this in the following lines.

Theme and Symbols

As you might have guessed, the whole setting is made of stone blocks. In the background, you will see green meadows surrounded by mountains and small muppet-like lad that will greet and accompany you through this low/medium volatile trip.

Even in the Stone Age, the royals (10-A) were the least valuable symbols. Land 6 A’s and you will be awarded 1.40x the bet.

In the middle of the paytable, we have a stone tomahawk, bone necklace, and 3 BARs. The most rewarding symbol is the game logo that will pay 40x the bet for a combination of 6.

Also, there are the wild symbol and scatter symbols (‘’wild’’ or ‘’free spins’’ markings on a stone block) and the bonus symbol represented by a portrait of our little caveman.

The percussion soundtrack fits perfectly into the whole Neandertal atmosphere and as far as the design was concerned we didn’t encounter any flaws...

...everything looks as it should.

Betting Options and Game Mechanics

All kinds of players, regardless of the pocket depth and betting affinities can find something for themselves here.

If you are willing to move the rocks and to carry large dinosaur bone as your main tool, you will need to bet 0.25 coins per spin, but...

...if you like a more gallant and wealthier cavemen, your bet can go up to 100 coins per spin.

Since there is a free spin ladder on the left side of the grid, the theoretical return to player (RTP) ranges from 91.95% to 96%.

Another thing worth your attention is the cascading reels mechanism. The symbols from winning combinations will be removed from the grid and new ones will land in their place, giving you the opportunity to win more for the price of a single spin.

Features

The provider’s video slots are highlighted by the amount of available content and often in their games we also find a lot of interesting surprises in the form of bonus features...

...and this one is no exception!

Wilds

The wilds fulfill their standard duty, which is replacing regular symbols to help you form a winning combination. Of course, scatters and bonus symbols can’t be replaced.

Free Spins

Now the real fun begins!

Whenever you land a scatter symbol, it will move on the free spin ladder placed on the left of the grid. The ladder contains 3 sections:

∙ up to 5 free spins – two wild symbols will land on every spin

∙ up to 10 free spins –three wild symbols are guaranteed on every spin

∙ 10 free spins – a large 2x2 wild symbol will appear on the grid on every spin

Big Money Wheel 

If you manage to land 3 bonus symbols, you will trigger this feature and you will be taken to another screen. The wheel has 3 segments:

∙ x1 – x5 multipliers

∙ two tiles with green arrows

∙ tile with a red cross

The wheel will keep spinning and adding up rewards until it stops on a red cross tile when the wheel game will end.

Stopping on a green arrow tile will lead you to a higher tier wheel where the multipliers range from x10 to x250 the bet.

Bonus Features

These can be randomly triggered on any spin:

∙ Smashin’ Wilds – the Caveman will randomly hit the symbols turning them into wilds 

∙ Cashin’ Drop – the game will select a random paying symbol, expand it to a size of 3x3 and drop it on the grid

∙ Stackin’ Wilds – one or more reels will turn into wild reels

∙ Multiplyin' Times – the game adds a win multiplier that increases with every cascade

In a Nutshell

Cashed in Stone is one more in a row of pretty good titles by CORE Gaming. By implementing the cascading reels mechanism, 3 regular and 4 random features, they made sure that all of you action seekers out there get a new favorite video slot.
