Cash Hound Slot
The guys at Ainsworth have certainly been a busy bunch in recent months, with them releasing a big selection of new slot releases for players to enjoy at the online casinos. Cash Hound is one of those and this 5-reel, 25-fixed payline slot is certainly one that we feel will become a big hit among players.
Featuring a plethora of special features, this medium variance online slot has a decent return-to-player percentage of 94%, some superb graphics and some highly entertaining gameplay. Of those games features on the free Cash Hound slot, it will be the two different free spins rounds that you will want to see the most, but you can also expect stacked wilds, scatters symbols, respins and bonus spins.
A Tail-Wagging First Impression
If you have played any of their slots before you will know that you can come to expect top-quality graphics on any slots from Ainsworth. Cash Hound looks fantastic with its top-quality high definition graphics and some flawless animations that help to light up the experience as you spin the reels.
On the reels, you have a selection of different symbols, with the hound himself being represented. Farmyard animals such as cows, pigs, chickens and rabbits are the high-paying symbols on the reels, while you also have standard playing card symbols for the lower payouts.
A golden bone represents the scatter symbol on the free Cash Hound video slot and this can be seen both during the base game and the Super Feature. You also have the hound stacked wild symbol and also a golden hound wild symbol can also be seen on the middle reel. This golden hound wild symbol will only substitute for the standard hound symbol, but it will multiply any wins it helps to create by two.
Barking Mad Features
Where Cash Hound really stands out is the fact that it has two different free spin rounds that can be activated. Every time you land three or more scatter symbols on the reels, one or the other will randomly activate.
The Super Feature is essentially a free spins round where you are given 10 free spins of the reels. Where this round gets very lucrative is through a hound head symbol that can land on the first reel only. Once it does, you are given a spin of the bonus reel on the right of the screen – and that will reveal either a 2x or 3x multiplier. Then the first three, four or five reels will randomly be filled with the hound head, which will then transform into any other symbol on the reels.
As for the Crazy Feature on Cash Hound, you are given 6 free spins but these spins become more lucrative as you go along. For the first three spins, the first reel will contain the ‘hound head’ symbol in all positions. This symbol at the end of the spin will randomly turn into another symbol. On the fourth spin, that symbol will take up the first two reels and on the sixth spin it will take up all of the first three reels. If you manage to unlock further spins, it will take up the first four reels from spin seven and all reels from spin 8.
Those additional free spins can be awarded once you get to the sixth spin. You will get a spin of the bonus reel to the right of the screen and it will award either a 2x, or 3x multiplier of your final wins or a 2x or 3x respin which will give an additional spin with the multiplier attached. After that additional spin, you get another chance on the bonus reel to earn more respins.
Betting on the Dogs
As a fixed payline slot, deciding what to bet on Cash Hound is made much easier. You no longer have to mess around with deciding which paylines to cover or how much to bet on each line. Instead, you just select an overall bet which can be 0.60, 1.20, 2.40, 3.60, 4.80, 7.20, 12.00, 18.00 or a max bet of 24.00 for your spins. This is a fairly small betting range, but when you consider the consistent action you will enjoy on the reels, this an adequate one in our opinion.
Other FETCH-ing Slots
If you have a thing for playing slots that are themed around man’s best friend, then you might be looking for others that you can play whenever your feel like moving away from Cash Hound. Diamond Dogs and Hound Hotel by NetEnt and Microgaming respectively are two such slots that you might want to check out.
Diamond Dogs combines man’s best friend with that of a woman's best friend – and the result is an entertaining and lucrative online gambling experience. This is similar in many ways to Cash Hound, as it’s a 25-fixed payline slot that has bonus features such as a free spin round and scatter symbols.
Hound Hotel by Microgaming also has 25 paylines, but this time the action has a more classic feel to it. There is not too much in the way of features but there is still plenty of fun to be had as you spin the reels and await your payouts.
A Well-Groomed Experience
Cash Hound is a highly entertaining slot that is never short of action and the free spins rounds just have to be experienced as they really can pay out big. We have to admit that we are turning into really big fans of Ainsworth and we are pretty confident that you will too.
We also forgot to mention that Cash Hand can be played on mobile devices such as an iPhone or tablet as it is mobile-optimised. This means that no matter where you are, you can enjoy one of the best new releases you will see this year. Quite simply, you would be barking mad to not give this online slot by Ainsworth a run for its money.
