Pragmatic Play – Cosmic Cash – Free Slot Game

In the early 1950s, after the infamous Roswell incident in 1947, UFOs and extraterrestrials were a hot topic of serious discussion at dinner tables across the US. However, a massive government/media mockery campaign put an end to it fairly soon. Fast forward to our present day, and the U.S. government is holding Congressional hearings on UFOs, releasing videos of military aircraft and testimony.

The times they are a changin’, as Bob Dylan sings, and Cosmic Cash takes you back to the innocent 1950s with cozy cartoon visuals and cute aliens. We found it to be a charming presentation, and the Cosmic Respins feature provides an interesting way to award additional prizes. These can also be very lucrative, as up to 100 free spins or jackpots up to 2,500 times your bet can be won .

Cosmic Cash Slot Features

The premium symbols pay out between 1.875x and 5x your bet for 5-wins, and the UFO wild symbols can appear anywhere to stand in for pay symbols to complete wins. The Wild symbol is also the most valuable symbol in the game and pays 12.5 times your bet for 5-Oak wins.

The Cosmic Respins feature is triggered when you land at least 6 money symbols anywhere in view, and the triggering symbols stick on an otherwise cleared grid. You get 3 responses, and only blanks or new sticky money symbols can land. Each new money symbol resets the number of answers back to 3, and the feature ends when you run out of answers.

The money symbols slide as far to the right as possible in their respective row at the start of the feature, and this also happens with any new money symbols. When a row is filled (4 positions), up to 2 additional positions are added. When you maximize a row, you get the corresponding reward, as seen on the left. However, not all rewards are part of the lineup every time, but here is an overview of all possible rewards :

  • A cash prize between 10 times and 250 times your bet .
  • Between 10 and 100 free spins (bonus round starts after the feature is completed).
  • A multiplier from x2 to x50 , which is applied to all the money symbols under the UFO that award it.
  • Mini, Minor , Major or Grand prizes worth 20x, 50x, 250x or 2,500x your bet .

The game logo scatter prize wins up to 100x your bet and 3, 4 or 5 at a time also gives you 10, 20 or 50 free spins . You can also get the bonus round via the Cosmic Respins round, as described above, and you get 10, 20 or 50 additional spins when you retrigger the feature with 3, 4 or 5 scatters respectively. You can expect more Stacked Wilds on the 3 middle reels during the feature.

Finally, the Cosmic Respins feature can be purchased from the in-game menu in at least some jurisdictions . It is certainly not available in the UK, and if you get at least 6 guaranteed money symbols on the next spin, you will get back 100 times your bet .

The 200 Spins Cosmic Cash Slot Experience

You can see a few base game spins before we buy the Cosmic Respins feature at 0:50 in the 4:19 minute highlights video. We managed to maximize a few rows, and this earned us several jackpot prizes. You can see it all for yourself by clicking the play button below.

Summary

There is a certain retro charm emanating from this release, although cynics might say that it looks dated. It’s perhaps a “glass is half full or half empty” situation, but we at least really enjoyed the cartoonish presentation. The gameplay is simple enough and decent payouts can be had via wilds in the base game. Nothing special, but up to 500x from a full screen.

The Cosmic Respins feature was pretty neat and stands out for the way you can win additional prizes and even the bonus round. Expanding rows like this is something we’ve never seen before, but Wild Streak should consider replacing the emoticons and winning slogans with something less cheesy. Allowing €/£1 bets is also a good idea, but overall this is a decent effort that will probably appeal to certain players.

FS with extra stacked Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4.
