A video slot from Booming Games, Cold Cash (April 2017) is shelved under the developer’s regional section. Ice World (October 2015) and Merry Spinning (December 2015), also from the games developer, have arctic themes too. The rival games include Cold as Ice from BF Games, Arctic Wonders from Habanero, and Arctic Fortune from Microgaming.

Cold Cash is set in—and its animal symbolism is associated with—the polar region whose polar climate is famed for its coldness, thus inspiring the game’s name. Only one symbol requires two, three, four, or five combinations; the other symbols require three, four, or five combinations.

Cold Cash Game Characteristics
Cold Cash has: a 5X3 grid, 20 adjustable pay lines, and seven symbols. Cold Cash has two special symbols: a personified black-and-purplish “Wild” fish (this substituting symbol has a smiling human face); and a white-and-gray wolf (this scatter symbol offers the free spins).

The five Cold Cash ordinary symbols are: an eskimo holding a fishing rod; a white polar bear sitting down and with a red neck scarf; a golden-brown, black-eyed owl perched on a branch; an igloo; and a wooden signpost proclaiming “gone fishing”.

The special features showed on the loading page are a full-time Wild Reel (exclusive to the third reel), free spins, and the “Gamble” feature (the player’s prediction is either a fish or wolf). Players are then prompted to: swipe left to adjust the Bet per Line, autoplay (10 to 100), and lines; or swipe right to see the paytable and rules. Pressing “OK” leads to the interface.

These are the respective Cold Cash payouts, based on the $400.00 maximum bet. Two, three, four, and five wolves pay $400.00, $2000.00, $4000.00, and $6000.00. Three, four, and five combinations: the fish pays $1000.00, $50000.00, and $200000.00; the eskimo pays $1000.00, $5000.00, and $20000.00; the polar bear pays $1000.00, $4000.00, and $10000.00; the owl pays $300.00, $1000.00, and $2000.00; the igloo pays $200.00, $400.00, and $1000.00; and the “gone fishing” signpost pays $100.00, $200.00, and $400.00.

Over three wolves trigger ten free games. Cold Cash’s non-progressive jackpot is X10000 the $400.00 maximum bet, which, theoretically, is $4000000.00. The Cold Cash software is generally good, although it is prone to hanging once in a while. The ambient music and sound effects are interesting, such as the hooting owl, howling wolf, bubbly submersions, and cracking snow. The animated caricatures are funny, such as the personified fish; and attractive, such as the snowy mountain in the background, alongside the grid and icons inspired by the shards of crystal blue ice.
