The Mighty Cash series of games is part of a popular wave of titles that follow the
Lightning Link model.4️⃣ In this case, it’s also made by Aristocrat studio Gimmie Games,
and as a game mechanic been embedded in a4️⃣ more diverse variety of games than most of
the other games of this type.
We’ll take a look at the standard4️⃣ Mighty Cash game
format, how bets work, and help you understand the options. Things can differ a bit
from game4️⃣ to game, but the core ideas tend to be similar.
Like our conversation about
Dancing Drums, the betting options allow for4️⃣ a surprising depth that give you control
over what type of game you wish to play.
Betting options
The Mighty Cash bet4️⃣ panel has
a row for just the Mighty Cash bonus size, and a second that is a line multiplier that
4️⃣ also multiplies the Mighty Cash symbols (and the numerical values inside them).
The
betting panel on Mighty Cash has two sets4️⃣ of choices within a given denomination (most
Mighty Cash machines are configured to be multi-denomination). The top row relates
directly4️⃣ to the money symbols. There are five choices, with higher bets in this
activating larger numbers on the money symbols.4️⃣ This is effectively a bonus bet – how
much you wish to choose to invest in the Mighty Cash bonus4️⃣ opportunity.
The bottom row
is your bet multiplier, which will multiply both line hits and the numbers that the
Mighty Cash4️⃣ money symbols can house. All bets, no matter what choices on the top and
bottom panel, make you eligible for4️⃣ all progressives, and for the MIghty Cash bonus.
But the choices you make can amp up the Mighty Cash bonus,4️⃣ the line hits or somewhere
in between.
Similar to games like Dancing Drums, amping up the bet on the Mighty Cash
4️⃣ bonus is generally a volatility play as you’re putting a disproportionate weight on a
bonus. That said, Mighty Cash line4️⃣ hit chasing can be pretty volatile as well, so it’s
all about the experience you’re seeking from the game.
The standard4️⃣ Mighty Cash game
has five jackpots, with a Mini and Minor jackpot that is fixed, and a Major, Maxi and
4️⃣ Grand progressive jackpot. The jackpots may be linked across a bank of machines, or
contained to individual machines.
The Bonuses
The Mighty4️⃣ Cash bonus works like many of
the games with numerical values on the reel – collect more, win more. But4️⃣ there’s a
couple of unique twists.
The Mighty Cash feature is the core bonus of any Mighty Cash
game. When you4️⃣ land the appropriate number of money symbols (or more), you will go into
a respin mode that gives you a4️⃣ set number of spins based on the number of symbols that
initiated the bonus (6 money symbols give you 64️⃣ spins, 7 gives you 7 spins,
etc.)
Unlike Lightning Link, where the Hold & Spin always requires six balls to
initiate,4️⃣ the Mighty Cash bonus can trigger with 5 money symbols on higher denomination
options (for a penny machine this will4️⃣ be the nickel and dime levels). This may impact
the betting choices some make, since getting five symbols can seem4️⃣ easier. But then you
only get 5 respins.
All jackpots are available at any bet, and do not require a full
4️⃣ screen to win, another difference from Lightning LInk. The Grand can land on a money
symbol and as long as4️⃣ you get enough symbols to trigger the bonus, or if it lands in
the middle of a Mighty Cash bonus,4️⃣ it’s yours. If you manage to fill the board with
symbols, you get double the payout (including all progressives except4️⃣ the Grand, which
is not doubled).
During a Know Your Slots group pull, participant Sheilah landed a full
screen of Mighty4️⃣ Cash symbols in the bonus.
Sometimes when you run out of spins, a
second chance feature will give you 1-3 additional4️⃣ spins, but this feature is not
guaranteed.
Mighty Cash games generally have a free spins feature as well, with 8 spins
4️⃣ awarded to attempt to get some major wins. The Mighty Cash bonus can land during the
bonus round as well.
The4️⃣ game will sometimes “announce” that a bonus or big line hit is
coming with an animation informed by the theme4️⃣ of the game.
