Cash Caboose is one of the slot machines offered by Wager Gaming, with the theme being built around a caboose, a wagon attached to a freight train, which was used by the train’s crew and which had multiple functions. It seems to have some sort of treasure carrying function in this particular game, the caboose being marked with a Dollar sign on the side and being one of the more generous symbols of the slot.
One of the 5 reel games from Wager Gaming that has 25 lines, Cash Caboose offers on them both scatters and wilds, accompanied by multipliers and free spins. Its most generous prize is worth $50,000.
Features of Cash Caboose
What you get in the way of features from Cash Caboose consists mostly in the scatter and wild symbols, plus the free spins that the former can trigger.
A Steam Locomotive is used for one of these two features, the wild symbol being the one that has this image on it. As the wild, it substitutes for any other symbol, as long as it’s part of a combination that needs its help in order to create a combination. The wild has to land in the right place, but it’s always part of multiple paylines, no matter where it lands, so there is a chance that more often than not it will be of some use to you. Add to that the wild’s 2x multiplier, which allows it to double prizes it has a hand in triggering, and you get the idea why the wild is so cool to have around. It’s even better when there are two to five wilds together on the same line, as that awards payouts of up to 5,000 coins.
The Caboose, a red wagon marked with the Dollar sign, will appear as the other major symbol, the scatter. It has two important roles, both of them typical for it. First of all, you get prizes when there are a couple of scatters present on the reels, the rewards varying between 2x and 100x the wager, for two to five symbols.
Free Games Feature
Another potential reward that can come from the scatter is the round of free spins. Get at least three symbols of this type, and you get 5 spins for free for each one (15 to 25 spins for free possible). You also get 3x multipliers for all prizes and you can get the free spins re-triggered.
Betting options and jackpots
You don’t have to worry about using multiple coins here, each line gets only one when it’s activated, but you do choose its denomination and it’s between $0.01 and $10. With all 25 lines/coins selected, the bet goes up to $250.
You will win up to 5,000 coins in Cash Caboose, valued at $50,000 if the wager you placed was big enough.
Design and symbols
The design is far from impressive, but it will do just fine if you enjoy every other aspect of the game. The train is placed behind the reels, while on them there is a combination of train themed symbols and classic playing card icons. The latter are not appealing at all, so the themed symbols are left to save the day. They’re rather crudely drawn, at least when it comes to the characters.
Symbols: Train (5,000 coins, wild), Caboose (100x the round wager, scatter), Conductor (1,500 coins), Bandit (250 coins), Money Bag (200 coins), Cactus (200 coins), Ace (150 coins), King (150 coins), Queen (100 coins), Jack (100 coins), Ten (100 coins) and Nine (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s got an unusual theme and all the features that you’ve come to expect from a modern Wager Gaming title, plus a good top jackpot. I’d say it’s worth playing, the question is only for how long.
The Cash Caboose slot machine is offered through the Wager Gaming platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
