Whales of Cash Slot Machine
With manufacturers in a never ending race for the latest game themes and technological features some players who prefer their old school machines might feel a little left out. Fortunately Aristocrat has your back, with their brilliant and simply designed slot, Whales of Cash.
Note that whilst I did say the design was simple, the gameplay and the rewards very certainly aren’t. Although this is a pretty old school slot to look at, the variance is pretty high and for a relatively small bet machine, you can see some serious returns.
Whales may not seem like the most likely symbol of the big slot games, although this could be a pun on the name for high stakes gamblers, given the main character does pop up wearing a top hat and multiplies your wins as a wild, we are going with that theory unless told otherwise.
Theme & Cabinet
The cabinet for Whales of Cash is one of Aristocrats more traditional designs too, it’s modern enough and comfortable to sit at, with the latest screens and audio system, it just doesn’t go over the top with all the bells and whistles of slots like Superman Man of Steel or the other slots in Aristocrats range.
The 5x3 reel grid of Whales of Cash is a sandy beach sitting on the backdrop of a crystal clear green ocean, bit of a miscue there, aren’t whales fonder of the cold deep blue? Regardless the reel symbols are cartoon-like and fun as is the game audio, even the low pay playing card symbols seem jovial on the spinning reels of this game.
Symbol wise you will find all sorts of familiar aquatic prizes, with Clams, Oysters and sunken chests of pirate treasure awaiting you. The starfish is one of the most exciting symbols and the highest paying outside the scatter and the wild, both of which are the big draw on this game.
Gameplay & Features
As a 243 ways to win game there is no messing around trying to decipher whether or not your symbols are lining up on a pay-line. If they are there, from left to right or vice versa on the reels, then congratulations as you have lined yourself up 3 up to 5 symbols in a row.
The exception to this is the wilds, represented by the cheery whale himself, which in our opinion are the most exciting part of the game. Not only do they replace all symbols as with any other fixed wild, they also offer a 2x multiplier when they complete a win. If they complete multiple wins this goes up to 4x and if two wilds complete the same winning combination you get a massive 16x multiplier! As we mentioned they replace all symbols on this game and unusually that includes the game scatter as well!
The scatter symbol, which is a simple money bags icon, is pretty special in its own right, vying with the whale for supremacy on this slot. 10, 15 or 25 free games await you for 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the reels, whilst also offering a bet multiplier which gets pretty serious, lining up 5 scatters in sequence on only a 15 credit bet on this nickel slot would land you a massive 100k credit win! The wilds replace this symbol, so you get a double chance in terms of icons to hit big or free spin games.
Summary
Simple does not have to mean no fun and this is something Aristocrat really prove with the Whales of Cash slot game, this is a fun packed game which offers high rewards to players. We are sure this underwater slot game will have a devoted fan base for many seasons to come.
