Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

It’s all ‘yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum’ in this pirate-themed game from PlayPearls. The cartoon-style symbols are cute and the wild wheel spins when it helps to form a winning line, changing the direction of the game.

The reels are divided by ropes, with the symbols sitting on the backdrop of a tattered sail that shows the winning line numbers on either side.

The soundtrack is a full-blown orchestral piece that evokes memories of classic swashbuckling movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean.

Hot Cash Chest review: our verdict

This is a fun slot from PlayPearls. As we have come to expect from this developer of late, it boasts a healthy RTP. The layout is familiar and the cartoon style makes the game visually appealing, especially the exuberant high-paying captain.

Given the design, we were not expecting the full-blown orchestral soundtrack. This certainly adds to the atmosphere of the game.

We found it enjoyable to play and were pleased to see winning lines dropping at the rate you would expect given the official RTP and variance.

Although boasting free spins and a bonus game, Hot Cash Chest is not exactly packed with features; however, the game moves along at a good pace and players will find a session slips by quickly.
