Alohawaii: Cash Collect Slot by Playtech

The Cash Collect symbol lands on one reel only, the fifth, and on its own it pays nothing. Its job is the coins. Gold Coin Prizes drop across the other reels, each one holding a value: a cash amount, a Diamond, or a stack of Free Games. When the Cash Collect shows up on reel 5 with any coins on the board, it sweeps every one of them up at once and pays out whatever each was carrying.

The Diamonds are where the jackpots sit. A coin carrying a Diamond, once collected, hands you one of four fixed prizes at random: Mini, Minor, Major or Grand, worth 20x, 50x, 200x and 500x the total bet. They don't climb like progressives. And more than one Diamond can land on a single spin, so a crowded screen can pay several of them in one hit.

Collect a coin holding Free Games and the round begins, with each such coin adding its own printed number of spins. The Cash Collect keeps working in there, and it can retrigger. The free round also adds a second layer: Prize Drop, a plinko board. Every time the Cash Collect fires during free games, each coin it just collected becomes a ball dropped through a field of pegs. Three of those pegs are marked as Cash Collect pegs, and any ball that clips one pays its coin's value again, up to three re-awards per drop. The launch button is just for show, mind you. The result is decided before the ball starts falling.

The Wild is a hula dancer in a flower lei, standing in for everything except the coins, Diamonds and Free Games symbols. Behind the reels is a sunny tropical beach, turquoise water and swaying palms, the grid laid over a green bamboo mat with the four jackpot bars, red Grand down to gold Mini, running across the top. Coconut drinks with paper umbrellas, a smiling tiki mask, a pink conch shell and a hand drum round out the premium symbols. If the collect-and-jackpot format clicks with you, it carries across the wider Cash Collect lineup too.
