UK fruit machines giant Barcrest may have been snapped up by online gambling legends, SG Gaming, but there's still space to release new games on the web. And what was once a popular hit in cafes and arcades across the country is now a mobile-optimised online slot available at many casinos online.
Despite the dodgy title, the Psycho Cash Beast video slot is simple to play and features familiar traits of your favourite AWP games or British slot machines. If you like your real cash gaming simple, Psycho Cash Beast may be for you. Take a closer look with our review.
Let's be straight right away: Psycho Cash Beast will never win any awards for 3D graphics or big bonus features. But where it wins is in fast spinning reels and some genuine fruit machine sound FX.
There's just ONE payline to bet on in this slot (how's that for old school?) but players have the option to start with coins from just 0.01.
The payouts in the game are pretty big, but considering there is just one payline they have to be. Three £-£-£ symbols bags you 100 coins, while three cherries gets you 160. Jackpots continue up, with three 7s of different colours earning you 200, three green BARs 300, three purple double BARs 400, and three triple yellow BARs 500.
Three blue 7s, meanwhile, gets you 600 coins, three red 7s 800 coins, and three JACKPOT symbols a cool 1,000 coins plus a repeat chance.
Occasionally, the 'HOLD' buttons below each of the three reels will flash up. These let you freeze a reel or reels in place for the next spin. Nudges also kick in occasionally (look for the 'NUDGE NOW' display) that lets you move a reel or reels down a space or three to complete your payline.
Also look out for numbers displayed on some of the reel symbols. If you land these on the central payline/row you'll climb the bonus meter displayed on the right side of the screen. You actually only need four spaces to fill in order to trigger the random bonus. Make it all the way to the BONUS stop on your trail, though, and you'll hit the top screen bonus trail.
