“Back to basics” is the hit slogan of the summer, and it works for all lifestyle areas, including online gambling. So if you always strive to be hip, but at the same time you always like to be your own mechanic, with a sea of screws, cogs, drivers, pumps, chains and other repair stuff always surrounding you while you’re doing your mechanical magic, we’ve got a slot that you’ll surely appreciate - Distance Gaming’s “Cash Cogs”.
“Cash Cogs” Characteristics
We all know that Distance Gaming slots aren’t like thousands of others out there. They always feature simpler, rather basic graphics, which may not appeal to everyone, but at the same time their payouts are brilliant, mostly thanks to the fact that they usually support pays both from left to right and vice versa. And this is exactly the case with its five reeler “Cash Cogs”, which is pretty rewarding with both ways payouts, although not quite gorgeous.
However, you’re bound to love that simplicity, especially if you have in mind that these games are designed to make you look back and see that things were nice if simple back when online slots were just starting. In case of “Cash Cogs”, you’ll be reminded what it was like to play without flashy graphics and a multitude of features - ‘cause it just includes a wild and its bonus round.
Also, you’ll see what it’s like to settle for what is offered, especially in terms of bet amounts. Namely, “Cash Cogs” and its mechanical theme are available to you if you’re able to be satisfied with coins ranging from 1 cent to $1, which means that on the maximum of 15 playlines it offers, the maximum bet will be at $15 - hardly enough for any highroller.
But, having everything in the game basic like that does not diminish its worth - you could even say that it distinguishes its integrity and unwillingness to abide by modern rules which strive to satisfy more and more of players demands. With “Cash Cogs”, you get what you see - end of the story.
Still, there’s something out of the ordinary that spices things up - the slot does not only pay by symbols; it also presents three colors of symbols (blue, red and gold), paying whenever five of the same color appear along a payline and thereby adding an extra element that will trigger more interest even if you thought the slot’s simplicity may not be your cup of tea.
Special Features
The wild symbol is very significant for the course of the game, not only because it’s one of the rare features in it, but also because it may boost its payout, making it quite lucrative. Its role is the same as usual - it replaces all other symbols, but the trick is that it cannot be applied in winning combinations with colors.
It also triggers the bonus round, when four or more of them appear scattered. In the bonus round, you will need to pick a golden bar to melt, in order to reveal a prize which will be multiplied by your bet.
Conclusion
Although it’s not made for everyone, “Cash Cogs” is a game that is valuable in its own way. And it’s definitely worth a try if you’re looking for something different, something on the retro side. If you find yourself in it, it will be a title you’ll gladly get back to.
