Countess Cash

Countess Cash Review

Countess Cash is a new slot to complement the range of Link&Win games. It’s not the company’s first foray into the genre though. They’ve already tried their hands at Link&Win with a previous slot, and they have pretty much succeeded, getting due appreciation from the gambling community. Now, let’s see if Countess Cash is able to follow in the footsteps of success.

The actions of the game take place at a luxurious casino, where the gorgeous countess appears to be a host. On the surface, the Countess Cash slot feels really pleasing to the eye with detailed graphics and plenty of smooth animations. Plus, there’s a classy jazz soundtrack, which adds a final touch to the general ambiance.

Countess Cash plays out across a 5x3 reel matrix producing 25 ways to play on each spin. The betting range starts from just £0.1, and the maximum available stake is £20. However, with the Win Booster on, bets up to £50 are possible, though payouts won’t be affected. The feature adds additional bonus symbols to the reels, increasing the odds of hitting a bonus, but the trade-off is by a 2.5x increased bet level.

Powered by a highly-volatile math model, the game has an RTP of 96.08%, which is slightly above the average level across the industry. However, when the Win Booster is activated, the value is increased to 96.33%. Wins should occur fairly often, roughly in 1 out of 3 spins according to a 30.33% hit rate, and the maximum you can get from a single spin is 12,500x the bet.

The paytable here is made up of 8 regular symbols, paying when at least 3 of the same kind land adjacently starting from the leftmost reel. The lower section consists of A-J playing cards, and the higher lot involves some of the countess’ belongings, including in ascending order letters, lipsticks, cocktails, and handbags. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth from 2x to 4x your bet, and the premiums pay from 7.5x to 25x your bet for combinations of five.

The countess herself acts as a Wild symbol here, substituting for any other regulars in winning combos. Wild symbols can appear on all reels, and they are always stacked. They can also create combinations of their own, paying a staggering 500x the bet for five-of-a-kind.

Chips are Link&Win symbols that are also available on any of the reels. They always display random cash values from 1.5x to 20x the base bet or land with one of the lesser jackpot prizes, namely Mini, Minor, and Major, worth 50x, 150x, or 750x the stake respectively. When 6 or more lands on the reels on the same spin, the Link&Win feature comes into play.

The bonus game is played on special reels where only Link&Win symbols are available. Once activated, the triggering chips lock in place and players receive 3 Respins to start with. All chips are sticky during the feature, and whenever a new chip lands, the respins counter is reset back to 3.

The Link&Win feature ends when a player runs out of respins or the entire grid gets filled with bonus symbols. In case the bonus ends with all 15 positions occupied by Link&Win symbols, an additional Grand jackpot prize of 5,000x the bet is awarded.

Scatter symbols, in turn, can only appear on the three middle reels. Whenever 3 land simultaneously, players receive 10 Free Spins. During the free games, the central reels merge into a massive single reel, where 3x3 Jumbo Symbols appear, which act as 9 individual symbols. All symbols can appear as Jumbo Symbols, including Wilds, Scatters, and Link&Win symbols. Landing a Jumbo Scatter awards a retrigger while landing a Jumpo Link&Win symbol activates the self-titled feature.

Review Summary

To sum things up, Countess Cash is a solid addition to the ranks of Link&Win games, which fans of the series should definitely appreciate. It might not be the most original slot out there, but its increasingly polished art together with the action-packed gameplay really does deliver a fantastic gaming experience.
