What do you get when animals go on a stampede? You get lots of fear, confusion and lots of dust in the air, but with this stampede game from NextGen, you can get lots of cash instead, if not being trampled alive by all those animals! Hahaha. But honestly, yes, that was a joke, but it is also true! This Cash Stampede game can be very good when it is paying, but can trample you to an empty wallet when it isn't playing good! Yeah, I've been trampled a few times after getting one good stampede win, so I have learned my trampling lesson! Hahaha.
What I do like about this game is that it plays with 243 ways to win, yet needs only $0.25 bet per spin to start playing it. That's slightly better than the usual $0.30 requirement, so that's one good point for this game. However, what I don't really like is that the Wild symbol only appears on reel 3, and is a non-paying symbol too. Argh! Luckily, this Wild symbol becomes Sticky in any winning combination, and awards a Respin with each and every new winning combination, so several consecutive wins can be had in one good Respin opportunity. When the going is bad, you'd get just 1 lousy Respin with no new win! But that's what makes this game so interesting! Hahaha.
Incidentally, the Wild symbol is only sticky in the middle of reel 3. Any other Wild symbol appearing in the top or bottom row of reel 3 do not stick at all, so that hurts a bit! Wish they could stick throughout all the respins, which would afford much bigger wins of course, but nah, NextGen isn't ever going to give you that much fun, or that much win! Hehehe.
Getting 3 of that Coin Scatter symbol, on reels 2, 3 and 4, pays 2x the total bet, awards 8 free spins, and can be retriggered too, which I do like. Better than non-paying Scatter symbols. Needless to say, the free spins with any retrigger can play and pay in very exciting ways, if you're lucky enough. Seeing those animal symbols appearing and sticking in position one after another can be very exhilarating indeed, but be very careful if you have a very weak heart - which can cause a weak heart to stampede out of beat! Hahaha.
On in all, I do like playing Cash Stampede, but only on occasions, because I've been trampled down into the dust a few times already so far. However, this is one game that has an extremely low paytable, with very low win values for all the regular symbols, but the 243 ways to win and that Sticky Respin feature certain made up a lot for the game's goodness! So, would you dare to be trampled alive...but could walk away with a good win in hand? Hmm, I would, but then again, maybe I wouldn't! Hahaha.
