Congo Cash

In the main game, everything takes place on five reels, but the main thing is that it is not the usual grid, but a non-standard 4-5-5-5-4 scheme. This adds dynamics: winnings are not so predictable, and combinations periodically appear where you don't expect them. Random prizes are displayed above the reels on each spin - these can be regular payouts, Free Spins or one of the jackpots. There are no special modifiers in the base game, but the main interest is to catch the right symbols at the right time and get a prize from above. But thanks to the system with prizes, you will not be bored.

The most "feature" of Congo Cash is the bonus features with the help of Butterfly and Congo Cash symbols, which trigger the prize draw above the reels. For the bonus to work, you need to have Butterfly symbols on the first and fifth reels at the same time, and Congo Cash on one of the middle reels. Then you get the prize indicated above this reel: it can be Free Spins (from 8 to 100), fixed payouts or one of the jackpots (Minor, Major or Grand). In the Free Spins mode, there is a similar system: everything spins, the prizes above the reels are back in the game, and you can "catch" additional spins or jackpots right during the bonus.

The theme fully corresponds to the name: tigers, monkeys, leopards, colourful gems and, of course, Congo Cash and Butterfly themselves can be found on the reels. The tiger symbol is considered the most valuable - if its combination falls out, it can really significantly raise the balance. Wild works as a substitute for any regular symbols, and Butterfly is responsible for triggering bonuses.Small payouts come from gems of different colours, and the real big wins are still tigers and jackpots from the prize zone.

The max win claimed by Pragmatic Play for Congo Cash is 5,500x the stake. But this requires a perfect layout: either a full screen of top symbols, or the Grand Jackpot during the bonus. Basically, free spins give out a good balance increase, but not global winnings. The volatility here is average: you can spin for quite a long time without "flying away" into the red in a couple of dozen spins, but if you are counting on a quick large drift, it is better to be ready to wait.

Congo Cash looks pretty nice — it has a bright palette, large, recognisable symbols, and a bunch of winning animations. The background is classic: a green jungle with waterfalls, butterflies and exotic animals.The music is not annoying, typical "tropics", sometimes only the numerous sounds from the prizes from above are slightly annoying. Otherwise, there is standard optimisation, there are no lags and long loads.

This slot is perfect for those who love unusual mechanics and do not chase only the classics. Everything is clear here even for beginners, and the system with prizes on top adds interest and dynamics. Experienced players may lack a deep strategy, but there is always hope for a sudden skid from the prize zone.

In Congo Cash, it is better to stick to the average bet so as not to drain the balance while waiting for the bonus. Volatility is average, so there is no point in chasing the maximum: it is better to spin for a long time than to risk everything in a couple of spins. The RTP is claimed at 96.51%, but Pragmatic Play sometimes allows casinos to lower this figure. I always advise you to check the RTP in the casino itself before starting the game, so as not to be surprised later by "unexpectedly" fast losses.
