Cash Encounters Review

Oddly enough, aliens seem to be a bit overlooked in the slot industry, of course, in comparison to huge niches such as Egypt or Wild West. Those who are enthusiastic about the theory that humans are not the only living beings in our boundless universe may now get pleased for Leander Games makes an effort to fix this cosmic injustice and comes up with a pretty weird, but still UFO-inspired title.

Cash Encounters - Slot Outlook

The alien encounter takes place across a 5x4 grid with 30 lines and a both-ways pay system, dominating the view. Behind it, an extraterrestrial spaceship sits amidst rocky mountains, illuminating the place with a bizarre red and blue glow. The setting is pretty cliched honestly, as well as the flying saucer, so don't expect to see a groundbreaking take on aliens from Leander Games. While the graphics are simple, the soundtrack deserves a special mentioning here as a piece of enigmatic music resembling the legendary The X-Files theme song plays whilst you spin the reels, capturing the essential mystical vibes.

Cash Encounters Reel Screen

Playable on any device, Cash Encounters offers players to place wagers from 0.3$ to 60$ per spin. When it comes to the stats, Leander Games obviously failed to master the art of balancing. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, while the RTP is slightly below the average level at 95.96%.

Paired with the hit rate of 12.12%, landing wins will be quite a challenging task for sure. Meanwhile, the maximum potential is extremely poor in accordance with the math model, and what players can hope for is only 1,000x of the bet.

The symbol collection includes 9 regular symbols, split into two categories. The pay symbols start on the lower side with classic A-J royals, while weird shiny artifacts, alien creatures, eggs, and eyes make up the premiums. Scoring wins requires matching at least 3 symbols on a single payline, while full combos are achieved by landing 5 instances. Lows are worth from 0.2x to 1x of the bet, and premiums from 1.5x to 4x.

Helping you to form winning combinations is the Wild symbol, acting as a substitute for any other regular symbols, plus paying 16.6 times the stake for a 5-of-a-kind combo.

Cash Encounters - Bonus Features

Cash Encounters relies heavily on multipliers, which are the key to the success here. The Cash Abdunctions Meter is active on any spin during the base game and each fourth consecutive non-winning spin awards a 2x multiplier, which will be applied to the next win. It's possible to accumulate a multiplier of up to 8x, which takes 12 spins.

Cash Encounters Cash Abductions Multiplier

At any stage of the game, special spaceship symbols may appear anywhere on the grid to contribute to the UFO Meter. Collecting those symbols adds additional spins to the current or the next Free Spins feature as well as increases the multiplier. The meter consists of 4 segments, and it takes 3 symbols to fill them.

• 1st segment - 2x multiplier and +1 Free Spin.
• 2nd segment - 3x multiplier and +2 Free Spins.
• 3rd segment - 4x multiplier and +3 Free Spins.
• 4th segment - 5x multiplier +4 Free Spins.

When 3 or more Scatter symbols land simultaneously anywhere in view, the Free Spins feature is triggered, and players proceed to the bonus game with 10 spins to start by the default. Retriggers are also possible, with 3 more Scatters awarding additional 10 spins to the total tally. Alongside multipliers, another major change comes into play, namely the Cascading Wins feature. After any win, all winning symbols will be removed from the grid to allow new ones to tumble down and fill empty spaces.

The cascades continue until no new winning combos appear. Moreover, each consecutive cascade increases the multiplier by 1x, though, it resets back to what players managed to accumulate with the help of the UFO Meter between the spins.

Last but not least is the Random Abductions feature, which is available during both the base and the bonus game. It can randomly kick in on any spin and once triggered, an alien spaceship will fly over the grid to turn a random reel into Wild.

Cash Encounters - Slot Verdict

Cash Encounters is definitely a fun-filled slot with a nice variety of things to do there, however, it still doesn't provide any solid reasons why players should feel drawn to spin the reels on it. As alluded to earlier, the game seriously lacks balancing as 1,000x of the bet is not the best option when you mix high variance and insanely low hit rate.
