Cash Stampede slot review (Nextgen)

Cash Stampede is a Nextgen slot that revolves around wild animals, respins and hefty payouts

Although, at first sight, you might think Cash Stampede is yet another Raging Rhino remake, this really is an entirely new slot.

This video slot’s star feature, with 243 ways to win, is the Cash Stampede respin, an exciting spin-as-long-as-you-win bonus.

In general, we like most of Nextgen’s online slots. They often have fun bonus features and not too much pretence: you get what you see.

Cash Stampede slot gameplay and features

Cash Stampede is a win all ways slot: no fixed paylines.

There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, which amounts to 243 ways to win. You can bet from $€ 0.25 per spin and up to $€ 250 per spin.

The theoretical payout rate is too low for our taste: 95.27% is far below the average RTP of an online slot machine.

The variance is medium. If you succeed in spinning a full screen with the identical premium symbols, you win 243 x 100 coins = 24,300 coins. This comes down to a maximum payout of 972 x the total bet. With the minimum bet, you can yield a maximum of $€ 243 per spin.

If you play the maximum bet of $€ 250, you can bring home a maximum win of $€ 243,000.

Symbols and payouts

There is 1 wild symbol (the Cash Stampede symbol), which only appears on the 3rd reel.

There are also 5 wild animals, the big 5 of this slot: the rhino, the antelope, a wild horse, the buffalo and, of course, the mighty elephant. These wild animals always award you 100 coins for a 5-of-a-kind.

The low symbols consist of the card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A. These get you 50 coins for a 5-of-a-kind.

Cash Stampede Respins

If you manage to spin a winning combination of one of the animals PLUS the wild symbol on the 3rd reel, you win the Cash Stampede Respin bonus. The winning symbols remain, and you receive free respins as long as new winning combinations are created.

This spin-as-long-as-you-win feature reminds us of Netent’s famous Jack Hammer 2 slot.

Free spins bonus: 10 free spins with a sticky wild

If you manage to spin 3 scattered BONUS coins, you will get the free spins bonus.

You now win 10 free spins, which can be re-triggered indefinitely.

During the free spins, the Cash Stampede Wild symbol is fixed on the 3rd reel. This gives you a much better chance of activating the Cash Stampede Respins bonus during the free spins.

Gamble Feature

Nextgen has built-in a Gamble Feature for the purists amongst us that gives you a shot at doubling or even quadrupling your winnings. You only have to predict the right card colour or card symbol! Keep in mind, though: one mistake, and you lose everything.

Our verdict on Cash Stampede

Cash Stampede is a pretty decent Nextgen slot:

• Beautiful graphics
• The two bonus features are original and fun
• The pace and flow of the game is good

We only have one thing to complain about, and that is the low payout rate. An RTP of just over 95% is too low.

3.5 star out of 5.
