If you're having a bad day, you can always comfort yourself with the fact that maybe tomorrow might feel better. If that's the case, it's probably best to steer clear of the distinctly dismal Cash Truck, which paints a painful picture of a dystopian future. But if you can bear the futuristic chaos, there's a lot that's worth sticking around for - such as the chance to win up to x25,000. Turns out that the folk of the future like cash just as much as we do now!
Quickspin aren't the only studio to have created such a bleak view of the days ahead; there are lots of films, and tribute games, which take a similarly grim view. Mad Max: Fury Road, The Last Sundown and Lost Vegas are just a few examples of what else you can find. Not quite dystopian, but in the same kind of genre is Squid Slot, a tribute to the horrifying Squid Game.
Cash Truck is played out on a 5x4 grid, although this can expand at certain times. There are 20 traditional paylines that can be played for anything from 0.20 to 100.00. Volatility is cranked up to the max, so you'll need to travel deep into the future while you're waiting for a win.
The stark design of the game will quickly clue you into the theme if you hadn't realised in advance. A blue sky and craggy rocks loom on the horizon while all around is endless desert. There is a unique first-person view, with the reel seemingly strapped onto the back of a rickety truck. With a battered water bottle on one side and a road that stretches on for miles, you'll feel as if you've been plunged straight into the middle of the Thunderdome.
The low pays start off on the grid simply by running through the usual play cards suits, but the premium symbols spice things up a bit. With jerry cans, bats, blades and three rather tough-looking characters, you could win up to x5 for a full line of five.
There’s a wild too - very appropriate given the rough and ready nature of your environment! - and this can substitute for any of the regulars to give you more wins.
Every time you land a win, you'll trigger the tumbling reels feature. You may have also heard of this called cascading reels. All of the symbols in the winning line disappear, and new symbols tumble down from above, giving the chance for more matches. This will keep repeating until there are no more wins.
However, these tumbling reels aren't just about getting more symbols. You'll notice that above the main board is an area that has been blocked off. This contains more tile positions, which can be unlocked via play. After every tumble, three more tiles are opened, expanding the gameplay areas temporarily for more chances to win.
There are scatters on the reels, and if you land two, you'll trigger the Second Chance feature. This removes all the symbols apart from the two scatters from the active part of the board and replaces them. The primary goal is to try and land a third scatter because this will then unlock the Truck Raider Bonus Game.
The Truck Raider Bonus is a streak respin game where you'll start with three Cash Stack symbols and three spins. The Cash Stacks are sticky and will freeze in position wherever they land. Every time you land another Cash Stack, the number of spins resets to three. Each Cash Stack also has a multiplier; when the bonus finishes, these will be added together and multiplied by your bet and paid to you as a prize.
If all of that wasn't enough, there are six additional modifiers that can appear on the Cash Stacks, which can increase the amount you win to a very substantial sum!
Cash Truck at bwin may be set in a desolate location, but it's spilling over with goodies for players to get their hands on. With lots of fun features and modifiers, the potential for payouts is excellent - plus the gameplay is a lot of fun! A great game that keeps things interesting for players who have been around a while. There's something happening on every spin - the only question is how much will you win?
