Gold Rush Cash Collect Review

Playtech Origins seem to have fallen in love with the Cash Collect concept and, after The Walking Dead Cash Collect, we’re now getting a game called Gold Rush Cash Collect. It’s almost a reskin, really, but it caters to a somewhat different audience, so let’s take a look at what this 5x3 slot with 30 paylines brings to the table!

The theme of Gold Rush Cash Collect is licensed, and it concerns the Gold Rush TV series from Discovery. That was a big hit at one point, though we aren’t quite sure how many slot fans still remember what it was all about. If you do, however, you’ll be pleased to learn that you’ll get to meet the series’ main characters on the reels here, and that the game’s audiovisuals are pretty good overall.

The volatility of Gold Rush Cash Collect is low, and the biggest of the game’s fixed jackpots clocks in at 500x your bet. The least that you can play for is then £0.10, while high rollers can apparently risk as much as £500 per spin at select casinos. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Gold Rush Cash Collect is 95.62%, which is a notch or two below the current 96% industry average.

Gold Rush Cash Collect Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Gold Rush Cash Collect, and it’s possible to divide them into 5 low pays and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are card rank symbols and some minor mining equipment, while the game’s high pays are all about the TV series’ characters.

Those are naturally great thematic inclusions, and we appreciate that the designers decided to go down this route.

In terms of special symbols, you can look forward to Wilds, Coin Win symbols, Diamond Jackpot symbols, Free Spins symbols, and Cash Collect symbols. Wilds are the most straightforward symbols of those, as all they do is substitute for pay symbols in winning combos.

Gold Rush Cash Collect Slot – Free Spins Feature

The titular Cash Collect feature is the focus of the slot’s gameplay, of course, and it’s all about landing the Cash Collect symbol on reel 5 alongside as many Coin Win symbols, Diamond Jackpot symbols, and Free Spins symbols as possible.

Collecting Coin Win symbols and Diamond Jackpot symbols leads to nice payouts, and it's worth noting that there are actually 4 fixed jackpots that you can win in Gold Rush Cash Collect. They are called Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, and they are worth 20x, 50x, 200x, and 500x your bet, respectively.

Collecting Free Spins symbols then triggers the Free Spins feature with as many free spins as you manage to collect. During free spins, Cash Collect symbols can appear anywhere on the playing field, and they actually remain on the board while moving down by one position with each free spin. There are also special Arrow symbols that you can land to push Cash Collect symbols to the top of the playing field, allowing you to get even more out of them in the process.

At random, you can also get help fromthe Nudge feature, which can help you get a Cash Collect symbol, and the Pay Dirt feature, which can add a number of special symbols to the playing field.

Review Summary

Playtech Origins decided to get as much as possible out of the Cash Collect formula, and Gold Rush Cash Collect is by no means a bad game.

It’s rather rough around the edges, though. It’s pretty much a reskin of earlier Cash Collect slots, for one, and it also comes with a subpar RTP. Unless you’re a big fan of the Gold Rush TV series, you should prefer other Cash Collect slots over this one!

Pros

• Great for fans of Gold Rush
• Cash Collect feature is still as fun as ever
• 4 fixed jackpots

Cons

• Not much more than a reskin
• No real innovations
• Rough around the edges
• Lowish 95.62% RTP
