With a faintly disturbing theme that’s a combination of romance and chickens, Cashanova is one of the funnier pokies to grace online casinos. Characters like Roger the Rooster and bonus rounds like the Get Lucky game make this one that players will enjoy even if they are cooped up all day, while symbols that include suggestively-arranged fruit and a can of whipped cream are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
This 5 reel and 30 payline game comes from Microgaming, who are a trusted developer of pokies for casinos worldwide, with a range that can be played on PC’s, tablets and mobile smartphones alike.
So light a candle, dim the lights and hope you get clucky with this cheeky game.
Bright cartoon-style symbols are featured in Cashanova, and there’s a distinct red hue running through everything that just adds to the hot-blooded romance that Roger has for you. All of the symbols are related to the theme, so there are no card symbols to get in the way and opening up the paytable details what the rewards will be each time identical ones line up across an active payline running from the left side reel.
Lower-value icons start with the whipped cream which has a value of between 2 and 30 coins, while moving up through the chocolate corn (really!), champagne and erotic fruit sees prizes gradually increase until you get to the fruit platter which pays up to 100 coins.
The high value symbols include Roger Rooster’s pipe, his opulent mansion, a very tasteful water feature and finally the beautiful object of his affections, a voluptuous chicken who pays 30, 300 or 750 coins when landing on 3, 4 or 5 reels on a line.
Players don’t need to put all their eggs in one basket when it comes to bet sizes, as the minimum wager is just 0.01, although this only activates a single one of the 30 lines and will only peck away at all the potential winnings. With coin values of up to 0.50, and the option to have 10 coins on a line, the maximum bet is a substantial 150.00.
Bonuses come from landing some of the special symbols, with our randy rooster being the wild symbol, replacing any standard ones to help complete winning lines. If he lands on several spots on a line he also pays out some huge prizes, with 15,000 coins for a full line of 5 wilds.
A copy of HenHouse magazine (thankfully not opened on one of the more revealing pages), is a scatter symbol, so it pays a prize without having to be on a line, and that prize will be a multiple of the total bet, not just the coin value. Up to 100x the bet is won for getting 5 scatters, although unlike in many other games, it doesn’t trigger any bonus rounds, as that duty is left to other symbols.
3, 4 or 5 Free Range Bonus eggs symbols will be enough to start up to 15 free spins, and during them, all wins are multiplied by up to 5x, while there’s a prize with every spin. Before they start, players pick an egg to determine how many spins they get, then another to reveal the multiplier, while a third pick will award a guaranteed prize of up to 900 coins.
If the key symbol appears on reels 1, 2 and 3 at once, it starts off another side game. This round takes place inside a barn, where prizes are hidden beneath items like a tractor tyre, barrel and wellington boots. Players click on them in turn, but if they wake the sleeping dog, or find the key, the round ends.
Finding the key is a good thing however, as it takes them through to the bedroom, where they have to help Roger decide what gift to woo his chick with. There’s a prize attached to each one, so it’s a guaranteed win no matter which is picked.
While there are other pokies related to farmyard animals, in this one it’s not just the eggs that are getting laid. A fowl thought, but it makes this a funny game and even without the style it’s got some impressive bonus features.
The free spins round is especially impressive, and landing a perfect combination of wilds during them will award the biggest jackpot of the game which is a clucking big 750,000 coins.
