The launch of the first online progressive jackpot slot ‘Cash Splash’ by MicroGaming in 1997 marked the start of a fabulous new era in casino gaming with players soon discovering the thrill of chasing the progressive jackpot.

With just 3 reels and a single three coin payline, the original ‘Cash Splash’ slot was an instant hit with slots enthusiasts and paved the way for the creation of another 40 progressive jackpot games by MicroGaming including a boosted 5 reel, 15 lines ‘Cash Splash’ progressive slot with cutting edge graphics and a ‘cooler’ look.

Whether you play indulge in the traditional slot game or the ‘vamped up’ version of ‘Cash Splash’ you will win the same progressive jackpot as the prize pool is linked to both slots with a small percentage of the wagers on each slot contributed by players casino wide channelled to the single jackpot.

Betway Casino is one of few casinos who offers this amazing progressive jackpot slot.

About the Progressive Jackpot

The progressive jackpot is seeded by MicroGaming at £5,000 and there have been more than 546 recorded wins since the game was launched in 1997 making it a ‘record breaker’ amongst progressive jackpots. A jackpot win tends to occur every 4 days giving players a very realistic chance of winning a gratifying amount of cash if they are loyal to the game and play with some persistence. The average win is said to be around £27,000 with the biggest win to date £108,573 in 2009 and the smallest win $5,387 which occurred very soon after a previous win and the jackpot being re-seeded.

 

Classic ‘Cash Splash’ Slot

The coin size of the classic ‘Cash Splash’ slot is fixed at $1 and to be in with a chance of triggering the progressive jackpot you need to wager the maximum $3 stake on each spin. Three Cash Splash logos trigger the progressive jackpot in a game that is totally geared up for a jackpot win without free spins or bonus games.

 

Boosted ‘Cash Splash’ Version

The 15 line ‘Cash Splash’ has all the classic slot icons from the original game and a distinctive selection of high value icons in bright colours with crisp graphics. The newer version requires players to activate all 15 paylines for a progressive jackpot win with a maximum bet of 20 cents per line.

The game has a single fixed coin value, effectively adding up to a $3 stake which is exactly the same amount that needs to be wagered on the classic version. Five Cash Splash logos on the 15th payline triggers the progressive jackpot win when you bet the maximum of 15 coins.

The scatter circle is the other key symbol in the game and 3, 4 or 5 Scatters will lead to an instant payout of 4X, 50X and 250X the original wager respectively.

It depends on the personal tastes of the player as to which of the two versions are chosen for fun entertainment but we think that it’s worth experiencing both, as each slot has its own charm and quirkiness.
