Keep Climbing The Floors For Better Payouts
Pragmatic Play have cleverly woven the theme and features together in Cash Elevator. It took a few spins to understand what was happening but it boils down to some 3 basic phases of play.
First of all … keep ascending in the lift
Your goal is always to reach the top, or 13th floor. With the first spin you start at a random floor, shown by the marker above the reel set, and with every win you land you will move up one floor whilst the lowest paying symbol is removed from the reels. This continues until you’re left with only the highest-paying symbol appearing on the reels when you hit floor 13.
There is no re-set here between spins. Wins don’t have to be consecutive. The more wins you get in your session, the higher you climb. However … there is an added element thrown into the mix that can help OR hinder. It is possible to speed up your ascent by landing Up Arrows on reel that cause the elevator to rises by 1, 2, 3 or 12 floors. But beware, you can also land Down Arrows which will cause the lift to descend by 1, 2 or 3 floors!
That’s the base game. Whilst it’s going on, you should also be looking to unlock one of the following two features.
Expanded Wilds Help You Reach the Dead Lovers Free Spins Round
Keep watching out for reels 2 and 4 where expanded wilds – the bell boy and receptionist – may land. When they do, it will trigger a free spins round called Dead Lovers. One expanded wild will get you 6 to 12 spins but if one lands on each of reels 2 AND 4 then you’ll get 12 to 24 spins. The number of spins is chosen at random.
The Dead Lovers Bonus Round in playAt the start of the round, the two expanded wilds appear on the outer reels 1 and 5 – bell boy to the left, receptionist to the right. Any time a spin includes the lowest value symbol from the paytable, these wilds move one step inwards. If they meet for a romantic tryst on reel 3, 5 more spins are awarded. Then, if the lowest value symbol lands again, they move apart and back to reels 2 and 4, then eventually 1 and 5.
This process continues with the wilds moving in and out until the round ends. At the same time, the lift is moving up and down as it does in the base game.
Reach Floor 13 For Hold and Spin Feature With Multipliers and Money Symbols
If you are lucky enough to reach Floor 13 then you will trigger the Hold and Spin feature which is the main event.
The Hold and Spin round in playFirst you are moved back to one floor from 1 to 12. Then, the reels re-set and now only blank tiles or THREE money symbols are available. The money symbols have either randomly assigned values, the value of the floor you are on, or 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x values.
You start with 4 spins. During the round, all money symbols stick, and each time another money symbol lands it re-sets the counter with love hearts at the bottom of the reels to 4. The round only ends if you run out of spins OR the entire reel set is filled with money symbols.
Payouts are calculated at the end by adding fixed value moneys together then applying the multiplier value.
