Cash Quest Review

From the looks of it, Hacksaw has allowed themselves to be inspired by an old, Sierra computer game classic this time, namely the King’s Quest series. Cash Quest comes with bright, video game inspired visuals, and the quest for cash is definitely going strong in the world of online slots. The mobile friendly, simplistic charm is as predominant as ever in this release, and you can look forward to an innovative multi-modifier Boostbar™ feature.

This feature takes center stage both in the base game and during the bonus round, and it holds space for 4 different modifier symbols to appear at the same time. Blocker tiles are in the way sometimes however, but you can get plenty of modifier action on a good cascading roll. The bonus round offers more of the same, and the global win multiplier up to x100 is your best bet when it comes to cracking the 7,500x potential.

Cash Quest Slot Features

You need 5 to 26+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the grid to win, and a maxed out cluster of premium symbols pay between 15 and 25 x your stake. The blue ‘W’ Wild symbol can land anywhere, and it steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete winning clusters. All winning symbols are removed via the Cascading Wins feature, allowing new and/or existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps. This repeats as long as you keep winning.

The Boostbar is hidden behind the game logo most of the time, but it comes to the forefront when you land the ‘BB’ book symbol anywhere in view. The Boostbar has 4 horizontal symbol positions, and it comes with the following modifier symbol possibilities:

• Blocker Stones - serves no other purpose than blocking Boostbar positions.
• Magic Lantern - clears all symbols from the grid, which triggers a cascade.
• Splitter Symbols - are regular pay symbols that come with numbers between 5 and 30. You thus get the same number of matching symbols spread across the grid.
• Wilds - awards 5 to 30 wild symbols randomly placed on the grid.
• Symbol Multipliers - attaches a multiplier of x2 to x30 to a randomly selected symbol, and if you land a winning cluster with this symbol the payout is boosted accordingly.
• Global Multipliers - applies a random multiplier between x2 and x100 to all wins in the current round. More than one in view means that the values are added together.

When the Magic Lantern, Splitter symbols or Wilds leave the Boostbar as they are applied, they are replaced by new Boostbar symbols. This goes on until all positions are locked by either blocker stones or multipliers.

You win 10 free spins when you land 3 scatters in view during the same cascading sequence. The Bonus Round comes with more frequent BB book Boostbar triggers than the base game, but there is no way to retrigger the feature or get extra spins. Some of the modifiers are slightly altered with regards to numbers, but overall there is no significant difference.

If applicable in your jurisdiction, the Bonus Round can be bought for 119x your stake. This option is, as always, not available for UK players. It triggers the feature immediately, and the RTP increases slightly (from 96.32 to 96.36 %).

Review Summary

The fascinating thing about many Hacksaw installments is the combination of the casually strolling gameplay vibe, paired with deadly volatility and sudden massive win spikes. Cash Quest is not only visually a bit different, but it also comes with a somewhat more forgiving risk/reward profile. Smaller payouts land relatively often, but you’ll most likely need the trademarked Boostbar to do serious damage.

The good news is that this can happen in any stage of the game, just as long as you get a decent combo of high-value symbol splitters and multipliers. Payouts between Boostbar triggers are usually not very impressive in the bonus round though, and there are times of frustration when the feature just doesn’t deliver. Overall however, this is yet another convincing and solid grid slot effort in the simplistic, mobile-friendly Hacksaw range.
