Bass Cash X UP Cashingo dives beneath a sunlit lake, light rays slanting through blue water and weeds swaying along the bottom. Two grids sit side by side: the 5×5 reels and, beside them, a matching 5×5 Cashingo card made of empty bubbles. Above them glow the jackpot boxes and an X UP trail reading 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x and 10x. I played at 2.00 a spin from 1,000.00.
Theme and Gameplay
Neon bass and bright golden fish carry the cash values, a green fly lure and a W tile mark special symbols, and a scruffy retriever called Winston pops up with a fish in his mouth. Translucent card letters and 10s are the low symbols. At 2.00, the jackpots showed Mini 30, Minor 100, Major 500 and Mega 5,000.
Slot Features
Fishermen land on reels 1 and 5; one collects every cash prize on screen and two collect it all twice. Cash fish range from 0.2x to 10x in small, medium and large sizes, and Multi-fish duplicate themselves. Winston can dive to reveal extra prizes or a Gold Scatter, or bark to upgrade a fish.
Cashingo fish transfer to the same spot on the side grid, adding their values if a fish is already there. Completing a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line pays a cash prize, up to four lines per spin, and any jackpot fish in a completed line awards its jackpot.
The X UP trail has six levels unlocked by tokens: 1, 3, 6, 10 and 15. Two Red Scatters give a token, two Blue Scatters permanently raise one level’s multiplier up to a 15x top tier, and a Gold Scatter applies the active multiplier to cash prizes. Three or more Red Scatters award 8 free spins, and collecting a Bonus symbol on every row starts the Bass Cash X UP Bonus, where 1 or 2 Fishermen land each spin and three matching trophies award a jackpot.
RTP and Win Potential
Extras include a 1.5x-per-spin option that doubles free spin chances, 5x and 10x per-spin modes with richer reels or a guaranteed Gold Scatter, and bonus buys at 100x, 200x and 500x, the last fixing the multiplier at 15x. Volatility is high.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Bass Cash X UP Cashingo piles three mechanics into one fishing game, and surprisingly it hangs together well. The Cashingo card gives each fish another way to pay, and the permanent X UP upgrades reward longer play.
It’s a lot to take in at first, though, and the screen is crowded with meters and grids.
