Cash & Carry: Shopping Spree Slots

Perhaps because it’s a shopping-themed slot and shopping has long been considered more of a female than male mainstay, Cash & Carry Shopping Spree by PAF has an overtly feminine feel to it. It’s bright and there’s a lot of pink, not to mention a decidedly excited looking lady shopper, dressed in her finest Hollywood retro glamour, high heels (relatively impractical for real life supermarket trips) and sporting a convertible car full of her bounty. Ah, if only grocery shopping was actually that appealing.

This isn’t the first fame of its kind, with Cash and Carry being the original and the forerunner to this. So what’s changed? Well, the spec is pretty similar, but it’s had a noticeable overhaul, especially in terms of the graphics. A lady is still at the helm, but in Shopping Spree she’s much more relatable and friendly looking (the other one seemed a little maniacal in her joyful grin). And the graphics are much more sophisticated - still very cartoon based, but with animation and design. The paytable is thankfully, no longer at the top of the screen, making it much less visually cluttered.

Shop Till You Drop

Open your purse to start with a minimum bet of 0.20 up to a max bet of 20 coins. This might not seem like a huge amount at the top end, but even with this, there’s the opportunity to win some big prizes, so more seasoned gamblers will be kept engaged. The layout is a standard 5 reel, 20 payline setup with a fun bonus round and free spins on offer. Press the purple button to set your bet and the green button to begin play - they’re pretty big and bright, so you can’t miss them. PAF like to ensure their games are fully responsive on desktop and mobile devices, so with this title you can shop on the go via Android or iPhone as well as at home.

This supermarket is more of a hypermarket superstore, with a bewildering array of goods. On the reels you’ll find milk, bananas, handbags and sparkling rings all mixed in together (no wonder that lady looks ecstatic about this shopping spree and watches from the side of the reels so closely throughout). Look out for the gems - 5 rings on a payline with a maximum wager can earn you a whopping 100,000 coins.

J is for Jackpot

This is a progressive jackpot game and it’s this feature that really makes it something special. If you want to bag the goods of your grand sum so far, you’ll need to land a total of 5 of the J symbols on a payline, then you can pocket the cash. Keep an eye on your increasing jackpot which is shown at the top of the screen, so you know exactly how much is coming to you. Free spins can also be won with 3 of the free spin symbols.

Unusually, there aren’t any wild symbols here, but land 3 of the bonus symbols and you’ll be upgraded to a shopping mall, perhaps the pinnacle of all retail experiences. Waiting for you is a picking game and herein lies the real excitement for diehard shoppers and gamblers alike: you must choose a product in each department, if you choose the right one you make it to the next level. Make it through all 5 levels and you’ll win the highest prize.

Other Online PAF Slots

PAF have lots of other great mobile-compatible games that you might want to try if you love Cash & Carry Shopping Spree. Hockey Heros and Nordic Vikings have a lot in common with this, along with fun themes. Although it’s worth noting that both have a slightly lower rate of volatility and no free spins You could of course return to the original and try your hand at Cash and Carry (the first), which has an RTP of 96.9%. There are 5 less paylines and no free spins, but plenty of other similarities.

Kitsch but Fun

This is a joyfully kitsch slot that doesn’t take itself too seriously and whose graphics present really well whether on a smaller smartphone or a full size desktop screen. Cash & Carry Shopping Spree is ideal as a starter game for those integrating into the world of online slots. It’s easy to understand, straightforward in layout and a very satisfying play, but it doesn’t only cater for newbies, for the features will appeal to any gamer who likes a colourful and overtly cheery vibe. However, with a progressive jackpot and great bonus round available, there is the potential to win some serious money - and then you can splash that cash in a real life shopping mall.
