Cash Melon

Cash Melon Review

This title is part of the line-up for basic slots. Its playing field consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, all of which are fixed and pay from left to right.

Visually, Cash Melon draws inspiration from old-school fruit slots. The designers decided to sprinkle a lot of shine around, so everything is a bit too bright. Even the symbols shine in their own way, which doesn’t make for the most comfortable of experiences. The production values are only average or even slightly below average.

The mathematical model of Cash Melon has a medium volatility, but there seems to be no official info about the jackpot. Low rollers can enjoy the game for as little as £0.20 per spin. High rollers can allegedly up the ante to as much as £2,000 at certain online casinos. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Cash Melon is always between 89.10% and 96.10%.

Cash Melon Slot Features

Cash Melon comes with 7 pay symbols and they are what you’d expect to see in a fruit slot. For low pays, there are cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, and grapes. Then, you can also get bells and sevens, with sevens being worth the most. For a five-of-a-kind combination of sevens, you’ll get a payout worth 500 coins!

For special symbols, there are Diamond Wilds and Sun Scatters. Diamond Wilds can substitute for all pay symbols, while Sun Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature.

Interestingly, there are two ways of triggering the Free Spins feature. You can trigger it by finding 5 Sun Scatters anywhere on the playing field. Or, every once in a while, you can trigger the random Mystery Melon feature, which will place 5 Sun Scatters onto the board, triggering free spins in the process.

The Free Spins feature itself starts with 5 free spins. There are no retriggers, but you can always find a Sun Scatter on your final free spin to get an extra free spin. This can net you 50 free spins in total, though you’d have to be incredibly lucky for that to happen.

During free spins, there are special Melon symbols that can appear anywhere on the board. They can even be stacked and they initially take on values from the sum of the values of triggering Sun Scatters. The potential values range from 10 to 500 coins and you can add to them by finding more Sun Scatters during free spins (remember, you won’t get any extra free spins from those, with the exception of your last free spin). Each Melon symbol that appears will always pay you its value, in addition to standard payline wins. In other words, these Melon symbols work like Scatters that pay every single time they appear!

Review Summary

Although the Free Spins feature is quite fun, it’s hard for us to recommend Cash Melon as a whole. It’s a tough decision, but the truth of the matter is that there are plenty of better online slots out there. This one has only basic visuals, with the graphics even being too aggressive in certain respects. Moreover, the base gameplay loop doesn’t even get broken all that often, despite the presence of the Mystery Melon feature.
