How to play Area Cash Heist mobile slot

The Area Cash Heist slot is a 5×3 reel casino game created by Area Vegas with 20 paylines and a low minimum bet of 0.02 a spin. You have three main features: The Area Cash Feature where the wild collect all cash prizes on the reels, the free spin bonus and the jackpot pick me bonus.

Who doesn’t want to break into a large vault and win over 5,000x what’s in your pocket? That’s what this Area Cash Heist slot promises. You have 15 independently spinning reels – much like in Jack Hammer 3.

This is important because the middle symbol always lands last. Why? Because if the Thief symbol lands in the middle, he picks up all the cash symbols on the reel. He is also wild and can come with a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x, helping create wins over the paylines. By far the most important symbols.

You can also trigger the free spins and the jackpot pick-me game in those money bags. You get at least 8 free spins with the wild symbols always on display in the free spins. In the jackpot bonus, you pick from golden suitcases, and three of the same symbols will get you any one of four jackpots.

The Area Cash Heist slot is a mid-variance machine

If you bet the max amount of 50 a spin, you could win up to 250,000 in cash or 5,000x your bet. This is largely done by winning the grand jackpot in the Pick Me game.

We played the jackpot game many times, as it triggers far more often than you think. Granted, we only ever won the mini jackpot, but the three lowest jackpots can come with multipliers, so we always walked away from this bonus with a minimum of 10x our bet.

The free spins come a little less often, but they can be very rewarding when they do. Mostly because, as the Wild symbol is always in the middle reel, you are more likely to catch the Area Cash Feature. Which is the star of the show.

Be realistic about your wins, and have fun

You will only get the top win via the jackpot. Realistically, you are looking at maybe a top win of 500x your bet via landing the paytable symbols of the diamond, the locket, the watch, the gold bar and the Ace to 9.

Maybe you get a little more with the money bags because you can also hit the jackpots, but not much more. That’s your benchmark. If you get 500x your bet, walk away and play All About the Bass or Freya Valhalla Queen.

This is a mid-variance machine, paying often enough that you feel lots of action but with a limit on your wins. Mostly, if you get a wild (especially with a multiplier) in the middle, you tend to win. If you don’t, you win little to nothing.

This Area Cash Heist slot is fun to watch and fun to play. One to play on your Microgaming casinos of choice.

Bonus Features

Independent Reels: There are 15 reels in total, each spinning independently from the others. Prize bag and Prize Cash symbols can only land on the 14 non-center position reels.

Wild Symbols: The Thief symbols are wild symbols. They can substitute for all other symbols to complete winning combinations. Wilds can land with a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier in the base game and the free spins.

Area Cash Feature: If a wild symbol lands in the centre reel and at least one prize symbol lands, you collect all the prize symbols on the show. If the wild symbol also lands with a multiplier, it applies to all on-screen prizes. The bonus is awarded if one of those prize symbols shows free spins.

Area Cash with Surge Spin: The surge spin may trigger if a wild lands in the centre position without a prize symbol. A random number of reels will re-spin, and each reel that re-spins is guaranteed to land a prize symbol.

Area Cash with Power Prize: If the Area Cash feature is triggered with only 1 or 2 prize symbols warded, it can trigger a random number of reels to re-spin. Each reel that re-spins is guaranteed to land a prize symbol.

Free Spins: You will win this feature if the Area Cash Feature shows a free spin bonus. On the trigger screen, you'll get 8 free spins for the initial symbol and +5 additional spins for each additional free spin symbol. During the free spins, the centre of the reels contains only wild symbols. If you find free spin symbols during the bonus, you'll get either +1 or +2 spins.

Surge spins and the Power Prize feature can trigger during the free spins.

Pick Jackpot Feature: At the end of any base game spins that don't trigger the rea Cash feature, prize symbols can randomly trigger the Pick Me Feature.

You have to match 3 of the same icons to win one of the four jackpots: Grand (5,000x your bet), Major (100x your bet), Minor (20x your bet), or Mini (5x your bet). The last three can have a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier.

Area Cash features trigger often and provde added wins

Cons

Free Spins can take a long while to hit, so budget your cash
In our experience the Jackpot typically pays Mini jackpot

Area Cash Heist Review Conclusion

The Area Cash Heist slot may not look like much but don't dismiss it too quickly. At its heart, you'll find a fun mid-variance slot with lots of great wins, a wide betting range and a high RTP of 96.45%.

The independent reels add a little zest to the spins, and the wild in the centre reels keeps things moving in the base game. In other words, you get lots of action, the chance to win over 5,000 times your bet, and great Heist-themed graphics.

If this were higher volatility, we probably wouldn't have given it 5 stars, but it's refreshing to finally get to play a game that's not out to murder us (Tombstone No Mercy) or doing something so different we wonder if it's a slot at all (DJ Cat).

Who would have thought that old-school style Microgaming slots could somehow feel so refreshing?
