Being a paperboy is a right of passage for many youngsters (or at least it was when I was a teenager) because it provided that all important Extra Cash. This is exactly the thinking behind this 5 reel video slot from NextGen gaming, except this slot is set in the past.
Extra Cash Theme
Extra Cash!! is set sometime in the middle of the 20th century judging by the grand houses that surround the reels. The paperboy stands beside the reels with his classic flat cap and beige paper satchel. He also shouts ‘Extra, Extra!’ if a big win comes in too which is a nice touch.
Many of the reel icons are themed too. These include a paper delivery truck, wooden kiosk, stacks of newspapers, pull along paper trucks, Extra Wilds and the faithful dog. Other icons include 10, J, Q, K and A.
Betting Options and More Functions
NextGen has included a good range of bets that span from 0.01 to $100. These are easily set too because only the number of lines and coin value need to be configured. The large play button is used to place single bets, whilst the double arrow (not sure why they chose this symbol) is used to configure automatic spins.
Each win can be gambled by pressing the Heart/Club button. This loads a new screen with a deck of cards in the middle. You’ll be asked to predict the colour or suit of the next card drawn to double or quadruple your prize respectively.
Extra Cash Features
One of the icons is a newspaper with the headline 'Extra' on it. This Extra Cash Newspaper logo is wild and can substitute for all but the scatter symbol. The paperboy can also make an appearance during regular spins to add wilds to the middle three reels. During the free spins bonus the paperboy can add sticky wilds to any reel.
Scatter icons award prizes and free spins when at least three appear:
- 3 scatters pay 2x the triggering stake and awards 8 free spins
- 4 scatters pay 5x the triggering stake and awards 12 free spins
- 5 scatters pay 50x the triggering stake and awards 20 free spins
The re-spin bonus could trigger if 2 or more scatters appear. This holds the reels containing the scatters and re-spins the other reels, with the hopeful aim of revealing more scatter icons. This in turn could trigger scatter payouts or more free spins.
Our Take on Extra Cash
The guys over at NextGen have once again come up with an original theme for a video slot. We’d have liked to have seen an in-depth bonus game but do concede that the free spins and Extra wilds do make for an exciting experience. You can try Extra Cash for free, or play at any of the NextGen powered casinos shown below.
