Cash Pool is a fixed-price scratch card from Hacksaw Gaming built around a summer pool party. Bright inflatable rings, pizza slices, beach balls, rubber ducks - the visuals lean casual and cheerful, matching the quick-play nature of the format. Each card costs exactly €1.50 with no adjustable bet size, and the whole thing takes about five seconds from purchase to result.
Two win conditions run on every card. Match One compares symbols between a "Winning Numbers" area and a "Your Numbers" area - find a match and you collect the prize shown beneath it. Match Three works like a traditional scratcher: reveal three identical symbols anywhere on the 3x3 grid and the corresponding value pays out. Only the highest winning combination on a single card counts, so landing both a Match One and a Match Three hit awards whichever is bigger.
The top prize sits at €150,000, which at the fixed €1.50 stake equals 100,000x. That's the highest max win multiplier in Hacksaw's entire catalog, beating out their slot heavy hitters like Wanted Dead or a Wild and Dork Unit. But the odds reflect that ceiling. Out of a theoretical series of 10 million cards, exactly one contains the jackpot. The second tier (around 6,667x, paying €10,000) appears on just 10 cards per 10 million.
Realistic outcomes land much lower. About 74% of cards pay nothing. Of the 26% that register a "win," roughly 2 million of those 2.58 million winning cards return just €1 - less than the €1.50 purchase price. A "win" on most cards is still a net loss of €0.50. Only about 5.8% of all cards return the full stake or more.
Cash Pool ships with a default 55.61% RTP, which is standard for scratch card products. Physical lottery scratchers sit between 50-65% as a rule, so this falls in line. Some operators deploy a higher configuration at 85.10%, which cuts the house edge from about 44 cents per euro to 15 cents. That spread is wide - nearly 30 percentage points between tiers - making the operator's choice a significant factor in long-term returns.
No intermediate tiers have been publicly confirmed. Hacksaw typically offers multiple RTP options across their product range, so additional settings between these two extremes probably exist but aren't documented anywhere accessible.
The art uses a hand-drawn style with a marker-style font that mimics real scratch card lettering. Pool floats shaped like donuts, rings, and stars fill the unscratched card surface alongside beach balls and pizza slices. Clean, colorful, loads fast on mobile. Scratching animations respond to touch or click-and-drag, though most players hit the "Scratch All" button and skip the manual reveal.
Autoplay buys and scratches multiple cards in sequence, which suits the format's speed. No real soundtrack beyond basic scratch effects - appropriate for a game measured in seconds, not minutes. Cash Pool sits among Hacksaw's seasonal standalone scratch titles (Summer Scratch, Snow Scratcher, Spooky Scary Scratchy) rather than belonging to one of their named series like Lucky Number or Dream Car. It's a quick, disposable lottery product with a headline-grabbing max win that almost nobody will ever see.
