Cash Clams has a bit of an unusual idea for its theme, the central motif being the clam that produces gold coins instead of pearls, and you can actually see this impossible feat happening right before your eyes. Microgaming is the developer that thought out this particular slot machine, and even though in every other way it’s a very typical classic slot machine, at least the theme is unlike any other you will find in games like these.
A slot machine with 1 line on 3 reels, Cash Clams offers a wild symbol and its multiplier as the one major feature, while the top jackpot looks a lot better, going up to $25,000.
Features of Cash Clams
There is only one major feature symbol that was introduced in Cash Clams, something that happens in most slot machines that decide to give the player something extra. You’re not guaranteed a feature in 3 reel slots though, so the fact that you also get multipliers along with the wilds is pretty great.
The wild symbol applies its multiplier of 2x whenever it substitutes for another symbol, and if this action results in a new combo formation. That new combo will pay twice as much as the paytable indicates. When two wild symbols contribute to the combo, both of them apply their 2x multiplier, for a total of 4x.
The wild’s presence in all three positions of a payline will pay you the jackpot, worth 5,000 coins.
Betting options and jackpots
You can’t use too many coins in this game, a maximum of 2 being available per spin, but at least you have a bit more of a range when it comes to their denomination ($0.25 to $5). With both options at their maximum value, you can wager $10 per spin.
It’s a good idea to wager 2 coins at all times, as this kind of bet will result in top payouts of 5,000 coins ($25,000). Using 1 coin will give you only 2,000 coins ($10,000), so it’s less than half.
Design and symbols
The theme choice is interesting, as I mentioned above, but it’s not as visible and well thought out as I would’ve liked. You only see the cash clam in two locations, the logo and the symbol that uses it. The majority of the other symbols, with one exception, are classics, but at least one of them is mixed in with some golden clams that surround it (the 7 is designed this way).
Symbols: Cash Clam (5,000 coins, wild), Golden 7 (200 coins), Three Gold Bar (100 coins), Two Gold Bar (60 coins), One Gold Bar (30 coins) and Lobster (20 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I believe it’s a game that you will enjoy, even though it’s a mix of quirky and classic that doesn’t stand out with its features. Its prizes are quite good, especially for a wager of up to $10.
This Cash Clams slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
