Brawlers Bar Cash Collect

Brawlers Bar Cash Collect: Slot Overview

Here's a question, have you ever seen a leprechaun bend over to launch a rainbow and coins out of its butt crack? If you have, then damn, what corner of the Internet have you been lurking? And if not, you will if you get lucky while playing Quickspin's slot Brawlers Bar Cash Collect. Leprechaun slots are a dime a dozen; we don't need to tell you. So, to be different, Quickspin has left the rolling green hills behind to make a 'naughty leprechaun' game in the city, in a similar vein to Push Gaming's slot Shamrock Saints. The focus here is on getting your mitts on Cash Prize symbols, which double in value following collections.

The setting for Brawlers Bar Cash Collect is similar to Shamrock Saints as well, where the gaming grid is not only wedged between buildings on either side of a street, it's wedged between two juiced-up heavy bouncer dudes. Triggering free spins is when the party really gets started, thanks to a rowdy Irish Pub tune, bottles flying about the place and an overall more festive mood. Brawlers Bar Cash Collect did seem to waver between being provocative and politely inoffensive at the same time, though, as if not entirely sure how it wants the world to perceive it.

Brawlers Bar Cash Collect's active play area is a 5-reel, 3-row grid of symbols with 25 paylines. Players can theoretically expect a default RTP of 96.02% when they're betting 20 c to $/€100 per spin, or 95.98% when using the Extra Bet option, while volatility is in the high region.

Paytable time and J to A card ranks make up Brawlers Bar Cash Collect's lows, firing off 2.5 to 5 times the bet when a winning line of 5 OAK hit. Next is a piece of wood with a nail in it, a glass of beer, boxing gloves with spiky bits, and a golden horseshoe, paying 10 to 75 times the bet for a 5 high pay winning line. Skull wilds hit on all reels. Wilds pay 125x the bet when a line of 5 of them land, and they also substitute for all regular paying symbols.

Brawlers Bar Cash Collect: Slot Features

What's served in this section of the bar are Tumbling Reels, Cash Collects, Cash Prizes, free spins, the Extra Bet, and bonus buy menu.

Tumbling Reels

After each win, all winning symbols are removed, except for Cash Collect and free spin scatters. If there was a Cash Collect, each reel which had a Cash Prize also has non-winning symbols removed, except for Cash Collect or free spins scatter symbols. Remaining symbols drop down, and new symbols drop into play. Tumbling continues if there is any new line win or Cash Prize collection.

Cash Collect & Cash Prize

Landing the Cash Collect symbol collects the values of all Cash Prize symbols in view. Cash Collect symbols can land on reels 3, 4, and 5 in the base game and in free spins. Cash Prize symbols can land on any reel. Their initial value is 1x the bet, and if at least one Cash Prize is collected, then the Cash Prize value (as indicated by the list by the reels) is doubled. In the base game, the Cash Prize value resets between spins.

Free Spins

Free spins scatter symbols land on any reel, showing a value of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. When scatter symbols land at the same time as Cash Collect symbols, the values on the scatters are added together to calculate the number of free spins awarded. The current Cash Prize value from the base game is transferred to the free spins round, and the value does not reset till the round ends. Free spins can be retriggered by collecting scatter values.

Extra Bet

By activating the Extra Bet for an extra 50% on the stake, Cash Collect symbols are able to land on reel 2, increasing the chance of getting Cash Prizes and triggering free spins. The chance of landing a Cash Collect increases by 55%.

Buy Free Spins

Free spins can also be bought from the base game. When the Extra Bet is off, paying 25x, 75x, or 90x the bet buys free spins with at least 1, 2, or 3 free spins scatters, respectively. When the Extra Bet is on, free spins with at least 1, 2, or 3 free spins scatters cost 25x, 60x, or 80x the total bet, respectively. The RTP for all options can be found at the paytable.

Brawlers Bar Cash Collect: Slot Verdict

Brawlers Bar Cash Collect puts on a pretty decent front, acting all bolshy and confrontational, yet it also felt a lot more polite than it might have been. Like some sort of loveable rogue figure. At first, it was all rainbows and coins flying from butts, spiky hitting devices, fists a-flying, that sort of thing, but in action, Brawlers Bar Cash Collect was a bit more forgiving than that. Not 'giving' necessarily, since it's not just going to sling masses of coins and rainbows at every punter, but it's a place one can indulge their rowdy pub fight fantasies in a safe, controlled space. Hopefully, that makes some sense.

Away from the rambling, Quickspin has thought up a nice twist to the standard money symbol collection format. Just to be clear, Cash Prize symbols all land with the same value. When they've been collected, the group value doubles for the next lot of Cash Prize symbols, and so on until the base game spin ends then the prize value resets. Not so in the bonus round though, since the prize value does not reset between free spins. The paytable mentions something about the max multiplier being 512 in the base game and 2,048 in free spins. However, the game sheet states that the highest win achieved during a simulation of 100 million spins was 6,925 times the bet.

Quickspin had a somewhat odd 2023, as many of its more memorable releases were sequels like Cash Truck 2, Golden Glyph 3, and Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel. The team then kicked 2024 off with more sequels in Sticky Bandits Unchained and Cash Truck 3. On a positive note, Brawlers Bar Cash Collect does possess elements of original thought, so time will tell if the studio follows up or continues to noodle along with one eye stuck on the past.
