Cash Out Slots

Two ways to cash out

The cash out feature works in two very different ways depending on what you are playing. In crash games like Vault Crash or the Uncrossable Rush series, cashing out is the entire point of the game. A multiplier goes up, and you have to decide when to take your money before the round ends. There are no bonus rounds. Every single round is just you deciding when to hit the button.

In regular slots, the cash out option usually pops up in the middle of a bonus round. Let's say you trigger some free spins and build up a nice win. The game might pause and offer you a guaranteed amount of money to walk away right then. If you take it, the bonus round ends. The catch is that this offer is almost always lower than what your remaining spins are actually worth. The game is just paying a cheaper price to avoid the risk of you hitting a massive win.

What the cash offer tells you

The exact amount the game offers can tell you a lot about how it is programmed. If the cash offer seems pretty fair and close to what you might expect to win, it means the rest of the bonus round is fairly predictable. On the other hand, if the offer feels like a lowball compared to what you could potentially win, it means the remaining spins are highly volatile. The game knows a huge payout is possible, so it prices that risk accordingly.

Game developers like Evoplay use this feature in a few different ways. Some games will only give you a cash out offer once during a bonus round. Other games will update the offer after every single spin. This makes the decision a lot harder, as you watch the guaranteed money climb while your remaining spins count down.
