Cash Melon Review

IGT are one of the industry’s veterans, but they aren’t going anywhere just yet. Quite the contrary – they keep supplying us with all kinds of new releases. We love reviewing all sorts of slots, so we couldn’t pass on Cash Melon, which belongs to the company’s line-up for basic slots. Its playing field consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, all of which are fixed and pay from left to right.

Visually, Cash Melon draws inspiration from old-school fruit slots. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the designers decided to sprinkle a lot of shine around, so everything is a bit too bright. Even the symbols shine in their own way, which doesn’t make for the most comfortable of experiences. The bottom line is that the production values are only average or even slightly below average.

The mathematical model of Cash Melon has a medium volatility, but there seems to be no official info about the jackpot.

Cash Melon Slot Features

Cash Melon comes with 7 pay symbols and they are exactly what you’d expect to see in a fruit slot. For low pays, there are cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, and grapes. Then, you can also get bells and sevens, with sevens being worth the most.

For special symbols, there are Diamond Wilds and Sun Scatters. Diamond Wilds can substitute for all pay symbols, while Sun Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature.

Interestingly, there are two ways of triggering the Free Spins feature. You can trigger it by finding 5 Sun Scatters anywhere on the playing field. Or, every once in a while, you can trigger the random Mystery Melon feature, which will place 5 Sun Scatters onto the board, triggering free spins in the process.

The Free Spins feature itself starts with 5 free spins. There are no retriggers, but you can always find a Sun Scatter on your final free spin to get an extra free spin. This can net you 50 free spins in total, though you’d have to be incredibly lucky for that to happen.

During free spins, there are special Melon symbols that can appear anywhere on the board. They can even be stacked and they initially take on values from the sum of the values of triggering Sun Scatters. The potential values range from 10 to 500 coins and you can add to them by finding more Sun Scatters during free spins (remember, you won’t get any extra free spins from those, with the exception of your last free spin).

Review Summary

Although the Free Spins feature is quite fun, it’s hard for us to recommend Cash Melon as a whole. It’s a tough decision, but the truth of the matter is that there are plenty of better online slots out there. This one has only basic visuals, with the graphics even being too aggressive in certain respects. Moreover, the base gameplay loop doesn’t even get broken all that often, despite the presence of the Mystery Melon feature.

Pros

• Free spins with extra Scatters
• Mystery Melon feature can trigger free spins out of nowhere

Cons

• Graphics leave much to be desired
• No real theme
• Not much depth
