The gameplay is a dizzying array of cash collects, free spins and tumbling reels. This is how it all fits together:
Tumbling Reels On Each Winning Spin
First up are Tumbling Reels. These trigger after any win. As normal, the winning pay symbols are removed from the reels and new ones drop in to replace them, potentially triggering more wins. If more wins are created, the process repeats.
Importantly, Cash Collect and Scatters remain on the reels during Tumbling Reels.
Cash Collect in Base Game and Free Spins Rounds
Look out for the big blue symbols with Cash Collect written across them. These land on reels 3, 4 and 5 at any point during the game, including free spins. If they land at the same time as gold coin Cash Symbol, which can appear anywhere on the reels, then the value of all those cash symbols is collected.
Cash Symbols always take their value from the coin that you will see to the right of the reels. It displays a cash value of 1x to start, then when a Cash Collect is triggered, the value of that coin doubles to 2x, then 4x, then 8x etc.
What I like here is that whilst in the base game, the Cash Symbols re-set to 1x when all tumbles are complete and before the next spin starts, in the free spins round, their value is persistent, allowing you to build much higher cash values and bigger wins.
Free Spins Round
The free spins round itself is triggered by landing AT LEAST one Scatter symbol at the same time as a Cash Collect symbol. Scatters are represented by a scrawny, red-headed guy with a sovereign ring and the words, Bonus Brawl written across them. They display a value of between 1 and 5.
By adding the values of all the visible scatters together you will get the total number of spins for the round.
Now, the value of the Cash Symbol, displayed to the right of the reels, is carried through from the base game, and you can also extend the free spins by landing more scatters.
With all this, and the persistent Cash Symbol value throughout the round, there is a real chance to build some big wins in the free spins feature.
Extra Bet For Increased Chances of Cash Collects
In Brawler’s Bar you can also add 50% to your stake to make Cash Collect symbols available on reel 2 (as well as 3, 4 and 5). This is said to increase your chances of landing a Cash Collect by 55%, which means a greater chance of free spins too.
