Cash Compass Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

There is nothing like a good pirate themed slots game to while away some time, particularly if the game is set on a desert island as in Cash Compass. With some big wins to be had, we were keen to start spinning those reels.

Graphics & soundtrack

Palm trees sway gently in the breeze behind the reels on an otherwise deserted beach. The reels are set within a driftwood frame and filled with parrots, potion bottles and treasure maps. It all looks cheerful and inviting, with a big compass atop the reels just waiting to come into play.

There is a cheerful calypso-inspired backing track that plays out quietly in the background. This really helps to add to the tropical holiday vibe, making for a fun and entertaining gaming experience.

Cash Compass RTP & volatility

Cash Compass has an RTP of 96.42 per cent, which is about average for an online slot; however, we advise a degree of caution when playing, as this is a highly volatile game. You will need a robust bankroll for the best chance of hitting a big win, although this won’t guarantee it. This is why we recommend trying out our Hacksaw Gaming free slots in demo mode in the first instance to give you a feel for the game without risking any of your cash in the process.

How to play Cash Compass

The Cash Compass grid may look a little complex at first glance, but it is actually incredibly easy and intuitive to play:

1. There are no paylines, so you only need to decide on your total cost per spin. We always recommend ensuring that you have sufficient funds to accommodate a minimum of 100 spins. We can’t guarantee that you will amass a prize pot in this time, but you should have plenty of opportunities to land winning clusters.

2. Now, you just need to tap the spin button to play a single game at your preferred cost per spin.

3. For hands-free spinning, we suggest utilising the autoplay function. The button is located to the right of the spin button and gives you up to 1,000 automatic spins at a constant bet level. You can use the advanced settings tab to set your preferred parameters for the feature, and you can end the feature prematurely by tapping the spin button again.

4. Tap on the menu button to the bottom left of the screen to access the game information, paytables and sound settings.

Cash Compass bonus features & free spins

- There is no wild symbol in Cash Compass, so you won’t receive any help in creating winning clusters of six or more matching symbols. Don’t worry, as there are still plenty of bonus features to enjoy as you spin the reels of this fun game.

- The most important symbol in the game is, not surprisingly, the Cash Compass itself. You will need to land at least five of these symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the game’s main feature. This activates the compass that sits above the reels in the game’s logo. It spins into action, with the needle picking a spot. All the compass symbols on the reels replicate themselves in the direction of the arrow, which can result in some huge cash payouts.

- The collection of bottles is the game’s free spins scatter symbol. Three or more of these on the reels will activate 10 free spins. Extra compass symbols are added to the reels and just one will activate the Cash Compass feature, causing each one to replicate in the direction the arrow points.

- There is also a bonus game, which is awarded when you land three or more treasure chest bonus symbols on the reels. This awards up to 50 spins of the bonus wheel. This is filled with multipliers that start at 1x but increase each time you land on one. They rise through 10x, 25x, 100x and finally 250x, so there are some big payouts to be won during this feature.

Overall review

We enjoyed trying out Cash Compass. Although we were initially concerned about the lack of a wild, we soon found that the Cluster Pays mechanic delivered some small payouts; however, it is the Cash Compass feature that can really increase the size of your overall balance, along with the free spins and the fun and lucrative Treasure Chest bonus game.

The high volatility makes this quite a risky game to play at an online casino. If you want a game with a similar layout but lower volatility, we highly recommend taking Aldo's Journey slot for a spin.
