Cash-O-Matic Pay Tribute to Liberty Bell

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have played the original slot machine, the Liberty Bell, and have it throw money at you? We have, and although it isn’t ever likely to happen in the real world, a new online slot game from NetEnt gives us all the chance to experience something similar. The title we are referring to is Cash-O-Matic, and it combines the old-fashioned aesthetics of the Liberty Bell with some of the best-loved features of today.

Layout and Format

Cash-O-Matic is a five-reel game with four rows that can be played on desktop, tablet and mobile. In the desktop format, Multiplier and Scatter meters occupy the left-most third of the screen, and the remaining two-thirds are occupied by the reels themselves. The same layout applies when playing on tablet or phone in landscape mode, and if you prefer portrait mode then the reels will take priority with the meters appearing below.

The design of this game is charming in the most traditional sense, with the housing of the slot looking like it has been forged from metal, and there is a nice feel of actual mechanics being hidden inside. The symbols are quite modern, with the playing card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A and a variety of different shapes all being presented in bright, bold colours, but even those look like they have been stamped onto engraved metal plates.

The Scatter meter mentioned a moment or two ago keeps track of how many scatter symbols you manage to spin onto the screen, whilst the Multiplier meter levels up every time you complete a winning line of symbols.

Reverse Avalanche

In many modern slot games, winning symbols explode to make room for new ones to drop down into their place, but in Cash-O-Matic that procedure is reversed. Instead of exploding, winning combinations are locked into place and all other symbols are replaced, making it quite possible to rack up some big winning sequences.

Free Spins

As soon as you have collected ten scatter symbols you can proceed to the Free Spins feature, with one free spin being awarded for every scatter collected. Every time you complete a row of matching symbols in this part of the game, the multiplier level will increase and an additional free spin will be given to you for good measure.

Homage to the Liberty Bell

‘We’re pleased to present Cash-O-Matic, a true homage to the first slot machine, the Liberty Bell,’ said Bryan Upton, who is Director of Games at NetEnt. ‘High volatility reverse Avalanche action, Free Games, Scatter Stacks and Multipliers in a very simple and elegant art package. A game for the VIP players out there.’
