Cool Buck is quite literally a slot machine built around the mighty dollar. You see a lone dollar bill that acts as the slot’s main character, used in the logo area. He’s smiling and doing the pistol sign with his hands, and he does look like a cool character. The game is a classic slot otherwise, not offering much besides that one wild symbol. Microgaming has quite a few of these slot machines, but at least this is one of the better paying ones.
Cool Buck’s 3 reels get up to 5 paylines on them, which is pretty much the maximum number offered for a classic title. You can win $30,000 with a bit of luck, and as you play you will find a single feature offered, a wild.
Features of Cool Buck
The game has only one feature to offer, and it’s a wild symbol. It’s a very common feature, both for modern slot machines and for the classic ones that choose to give you something extra. The wild that we’re offered in this case is a simple one, no multipliers attached to it, but it’s also the one that can award the biggest payout of the game (6,000 coins).
The wild helps out by substituting for other symbols, taking their place when new combinations can be formed as a result, but only if the rest of the requirements for the combo are met (you need the other two positions on the line to have wilds or matching regular symbols on it).
Betting options and jackpots
The line wagers consist of a single coin, and their denomination ranges from $0.25 to $5. If you select all five lines, you use just as many coins, and the maximum bet will be $25.
Depending on the line on which the top jackpot combo forms, the exact amount you can take home varies. The minimum is 1,000 coins, offered for the first payline, while the maximum is 6,000 coins and given for the right combo on the fifth payline. The cash value of that maximum prize is $30,000.
Design and symbols
The design, being focused on the dollar theme, has a green background with a fuzzy image of a dollar. The paytable is on the right and without its own background, so you get more of the same green picture with the dollar behind it. The reels and the logo are on the left side. The logo does look cool, thanks to the character shown in it, but that’s about the only great looking part of the game.
Symbols: Dollar Sign (6,000 coins, wild), Blue Seven (300 coins), Three Bars (100 coins), Two Bar (50 coins), One Bar (20 coins) and Cherries (10 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The game is not exactly an extraordinary title, quite basic and average for a 3 reel game, but if you want something predictable and with big enough payouts, Cool Buck could be your game.
You will find Cool Buck at any online casino which chooses to use software from Microgaming, playable either for free or for real money.
