Kanga Cash – A Fun New Aussie Themed Slot

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Vegas Technology recently released Kanga Cash, an Australian and gold prospecting-themed slot game. The twist is this game is not set in California. Instead, the background is the Australian outback as is evident by the graphics on the reels. The symbols in the game include:

  • The kangaroo
  • Gold prospector’s shack
  • The prospector
  • The Koala bear
  • Prospector’s hat
  • A can

One of the most important symbols in the game is the kangaroo which acts as the wild symbol to substitute for other symbols in order to create winning combinations. When five kangaroo symbols appear on any payline, the fixed jackpot of 10,000 coins is released to the player. The gold prospector’s shack represents the scatter symbol. Therefore, when two or more appear on the reels, the player is showered by scattered payouts that are multiplied by the total wager.

The scatter payout for five shack symbols is 200 coins. As found in all Vegas Technology slot games, the wild and scatter symbols become animated when they pay. The kangaroo cocks his head and winks while the shack changes from a day to night scene. The prospector icon provides another fixed jackpot worth 5,000 coins. The Koala bear also offers a fixed jackpot worth 2,500 coins. There are many ways to win in Kanga Cash.

The low paying symbols are the prospector’s hat and a can used to cook the prospector’s food. Additionally, there are high value symbols from ace to nine that are crafted in the distinguishable Vegas Technology style.

Unfortunately there is no free spins bonus game. However, there is a lucrative bonus game that pays handsomely and is visually pleasing. The name of the game is “Gold Panning” which can be activated by three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The prospector dips his gold pan into the river and shakes it to reveal chunks of gold. The number and size of the nuggets determines the multiplier which is applied to the original bet. This occurs until the nuggets are exhausted.

The game features a total of 25 paylines with all the Vegas Technology options like Auto Spin. Kanga Cash is available at all Vegas Technology casinos so there are plenty of options for participation. This is a fun and exciting slot game with a different theme than the typical panning for gold. Stop by one of the many casinos to try your luck at finding your gold.

The game hits when four aces of the same color are dealt. Therefore, it should be more popular than the Vegas Technology variant which requires four aces of the same suit. This game is available at popular casinos like InterCasino and VIP Casino.

The Playtech variant is also called Progressive Blackjack and currently boasts of jackpot of $69,007 which is slightly greater than the average amount to trigger the jackpot – $63,971. The jackpot hits 1 in every 10 days but was last hit 15 days ago so the system is due turn out a winner. Another trend is that the past 10 hits have been in the $60,000’s range.

The Playtech version of Progressive Blackjack is currently available at the following online gaming sites:

  • Omni Casino
  • Casino Tropez
  • Casino Del Rio

Although each of these online progressive blackjack games has the exact same name, they are different in their own regard. If you have to select one of the three, try the Vegas Technology version since it has a much higher payout than the other two and is hit once per month. This is the ideal balance between a large sum of winnings and the frequency of winning. This appears to the best time to place a wager and potentially win as all versions are at the cusp of hitting the jackpot.

Vegas Technology recently released a new slot game entitled, “Mile High” which has a theme of air travel with a comic twist. All casinos in the English Harbour Group will feature this game including; Millionaire Casino, Caribbean Gold Casino and VIP Slots Casino.
