West Coast Cash Infinity Reels

Review West Coast Cash Infinity Reels

West coast hip hop is a music genre within the genre of hip hop and originated in the 1980s in Los Angeles as a counterpart to east coast hip hop brought from the streets of New York. It soon resulted in a fierce rivalry, which was especially apparent in the 1990s. Supporters of Tupac (west coast) and The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie (east coast) disputed their feuds with excessive violence. Tupac and Biggie, probably the two best rappers to have ever lived, were eventually both killed. You can already tell from the title of this pokie from ReelPlay that this game is about west coast hip hop, but don’t worry, you’ll survive. This game is especially cool for those that have listened or still listen to west coast hip hop, but the 20,350x top wins seem very convincing for all other players as well.

How to Play

The way Retro Tapes Cluster Link is set up might be a bit odd for some players, and not only because this pokie comes with an unusual 3×4 playfield. There are no paylines here, but instead, there are Infinity Reels. Here’s how this pokie game by Reel Play works:

• Go to one of our recommended online casinos and open the West Coast Cash Infinity Reels pokie. Next, click to continue.
• Go for the arrow button to launch the betting menu, and choose the size of your bet. The lowest bet in Retro Tapes is set at $ 0.20, the highest comes at $ 12.
• Click the icon that shows “?” to switch to the info tab. Here, you can also read the game rules. Pressing the icon with the cogwheel will also take you to the settings of the game.
• The auto mode is also available for players in New Zealand, allowing you to sit back and relax. Do check your betting limits before you activate this mode.

Symbol Wins

The West Coast Cash Infinity Reels pokie is all about thugs and gang life on the West Coast. The reels are set on a street that looks like it could be Los Angeles, or possibly even Compton. It’s very much GTA-alike with graphics that will look familiar to some players. Although fairly basic, they definitely fit with the rest of the game. As you spin the reels, you’ll hear rap instrumentals playing, which you’ll find either great or tiring. The LevelUp Respins feature will make the audio change to a new hip-hop instrumental which is actually awesome. In this case, the backdrop also changes to a sunset lid place, giving a more edgy feel to the overall gameplay.

On the reels, the basic A-9 Royals symbols make up the low values. These symbols are joined by tougher looking symbols like hustlers, pimps, dealers and enforcers. The latter symbol is the most rewarding one, paying from 2.5x your bet for combinations of 5. The wild symbol in West Coast Cash Infinity Reels is an epic lowrider car that substitutes for all symbols except the Cash Scatter symbol. Here’s a breakdown of all the symbols you’ll come across in the game. This overview also includes their payout information:

Bonus Features

If you have played the earlier ReelPlay release Money Mariachi Infinity Reels, then the features here should feel quite familiar. They include an Infinity Bonus, LevelUp Respins, and a bonus buy. The playing field of West Coast Cash Infinity Reels can be expanded in a special way to the right side of the playing screen. This is done by:

• Winning combinations of at least 5 identical symbols.
• Winning combination must start on reel 1.
• The right reel must show a winning symbol.

There is no limit to the number of reels that can expand the playing field of West Coast Cash Infinity Reels. If we look at the other features of West Coast Cash Infinity Reels, we still have the infinity bonus and the level up respins.

Infinity Bonus

Those who manage to expand the playing field to 12 or more reels will be rewarded with an extra prize. This is a prize worth 888x the stake. Do note that the multiplier will not be applied to this prize.

Level up Respins

You can earn 3 level up respins in West Coast Cash Infinity Reels if you spin 3 or more cash symbols in the base game. These cash symbols are then fixed on the playing field, which also applies to cash symbols that you spin during the feature. In addition, each new cash symbol that spins will reset the number of respins to 3. During this feature, only cash symbols, special symbols or blank symbols (which have no value) can land. An extra reel is added to the playing field every time you manage to fill a reel with cash and/or special symbols.

Cash symbols have a value of 1 to 5x the bet attached to them. However, it is possible to increase this value as each respin receives a cash symbol with a dollar sign. The cash symbol will level up when it has collected 6 dollar signs, which means that the cash value shown is increased by 1 to 5x the bet. You can always clearly read from the cash symbol how many dollar signs it has already collected. Every time a cash symbol levels up, there is a possibility that it will turn into 1 of the following special symbols:

• Pimp: the pimp symbol increases its own value by 10 to 50x the bet and then changes back into a cash symbol.
• Hustler: the hustler symbol increases its own level every respin, increasing the displayed cash value by 1 to 5x the bet every spin. It doesn’t need dollar signs to increase in value.
• Dealer: the dealer symbol adds its displayed cash value to all adjacent cash symbols and/or special symbols. The same level system as the cash symbol applies to this symbol.
• Enforcer: the enforcer symbol adds the displayed cash values of adjacent cash symbols and/or special symbols to itself. The same level system as the cash symbol applies to this symbol.

At the end of the feature, all monetary values on the playing field are added together and paid out to the player. The feature comes to an end when a new cash symbol has not appeared within 3 respins.

Bonus Buy Feature

Players willing to purchase the LevelUp bonus round can do so for 100x the stake. A spin will then trigger the bonus round with between 6 and 15 reels, making it possible to win the Infinity Bonus from the trigger game round. The RTP in this case increases to a convenient 97.04%.

Payout Metrics

The RTP of West Coast Cash Infinity Reels is set at 96.16%, which is about right as it’s just above the average. As for variance, it’s in the high range, so take this into account in terms of your bankroll. The maximum win in West Coast Cash Infinity Reels is 20,350x your stake, which is very generous though a bit lower as in some other Infinity Reels titles. At the same time it is still well above a lot of other online pokies on the market. The max potential win can come at any point, but your best chance to win the top prizes will definitely be in the LevelUp Respins feature. This is thanks to the 4 modifiers adding some extra flavour to the game. The max win in the main game is a bit disappointing and is capped at 1007x the bet.

Summary

Although we highly enjoy grid sets, we felt a bit tired maybe of all the games launched with grids, but we have to say that West Coast Cash Infinity Reels knows how to do it right. This online pokie NZ game by ReelPlay is just a valid example of how much finding the right pace can boost a casino game, and we would strongly suggest ReelPlay sticks with a comparable reel-adding speed in all future launches.

It of course helps that the visuals are outstanding, nostalgic, and engaging, and West Coast Cash Infinity Reels for us is one of the very best Infinity Reels instalments we’ve seen to this date. Despite not adding anything new in terms of features, this might just be the big breakthrough ReelPlay and the Infinity Reels engine has been waiting for. Make sure to pay some extra attention to the engaging LevelUp hold-and-win round. We’re sure that you will have no complaints about the max potential of 20,350x the bet either.
