Cash Stampede Slot by Light & Wonder

Land a winning combination of one animal, say a row of charging buffalo, with the wild filling in, and the herd starts to grow. That win triggers the Cash Stampede Re-Spins. The matching animals stay locked while everything else re-spins. Any new symbol of that same animal sticks too, and the reels go again, repeating until a re-spin adds nothing new. Only the triggering animal pays, and only once the dust settles. A short run nets a couple of beasts. A long one fills the grid with one species and pays the full herd at once, which is where the round name earns it.

The setup is built around that single wild, which only lands on the centre reel. It subs for everything except the gold BONUS coin and is the gateway to every re-spin run. The scatter coins drop on reels two, three and four, and three of them hand you eight free games. During that run the wild gets pinned to the middle of reel three for the whole stretch, so a re-spin trigger becomes far more likely. Land another trio of scatters inside the feature and you stack on eight more games.

Visually it leans into a dramatic wildlife stampede mood. The 5x3 grid sits inside an ornate gold frame against a moody purple-grey storm sky over a dusty savannah, with 243 WAYS banners running down both sides. Premium icons are bold animal portraits on coloured tiles, a green-backed buffalo, a purple horse, a blue rhino and elephant, a bull mid-charge on red, while the lows are jewel-cut card royals. It is an older NextGen build, but the held-symbol payout structure still reads cleanly and the bigger the herd, the better.
