Slot Review: Captain Cash

In our opinion, the Captain Cash online slot game has very little to recommend itself. If we’ve ever stumbled across the very definition of a “disposable” internet pokey, this would probably be listed as a prime example. Two seconds after we finished playing this title, we had already forgotten about it. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s the back story of Captain Cash, who is depicted as like an amusement park caricature of a boat skipper with a cocktail in hand. A lack of theming and detail is one of our biggest gripes with this title from Microgaming, who really is capable of better.

Pretty much the only attractive aspect of Captain Cash is its massive jackpot. Assuming the highest coin value of twenty dollars (the lowest being twenty-five cents), the top prize is one hundred thousand bucks… that’s really good for a non-progressive jackpot. Otherwise, this three-reel, five-payline punter is completely unexceptional, almost to the point of mediocrity. Icons on the reels are the number seven, single, double, and triple BAR icons, the Captain Cash logo, and (inexplicably), a chef. We have no idea who this chef is, or what he has to do with the theme or story, but he’s also the wild symbol, and can stand in for any other icon on the reel in a winning combination.

We’re hard-pressed to recommend a trip with this Captain to anyone, really. There are a plethora of online slots that offer either higher or lower bets and more substantial jackpots, with much more attention to graphics, a comprehensive feel to the game, and nice extras players enjoy. This Captain can walk the plank!
