CASH HORNS: AN EXCITING FEATURE-IN-FEATURE ADDITION TO THE HOLD AND SPIN SEGMENT
The Hold and Spin format continues to be a popular feature across Australian gaming floors, with a new twist from Aristocrat increasingly focusing on layering additional Hold and Spin features with different jackpot levels within a familiar structure. Cash Horns enters this segment with a multi-level Hold and Spin format linked to progressive jackpots, supported by thrilling game play and multiple game themes.
The title is positioned as a product best introduced through smaller installations initially – the recommended deployment being two to four machines, allowing venues to assess player engagement and performance before considering broader rollout across the floor.
Perfect for hotels and clubs the Cash Horns game family launches with two maths models featuring four themed games: Grand Toro and Cleopatra’s Kingdom and Master Warrior and Ragnar the Great, with free games features providing the variety and difference between the games. There are two games currently available as SAPs: Grand Toro and Master Warrior, with the other two SAP titles and four LINK titles to follow.
Multilevel Hold and Spin Feature
At the centre of the game is an easy-to-understand multi-level Hold and Spin mechanic, designed to introduce additional stages beyond the traditional format.
The Level 1 Hold and Spin feature follows the familiar Cash on Reel (COR) structure. Players trigger the feature by landing six COR symbols.
Second-Level Jackpot Feature
The feature sequence expands through the introduction of coloured bull symbols, which activate additional Hold and Spin levels tied to progressive jackpot prizes. These symbols can appear both in the base game and within the Hold and Spin feature itself.
Level 2 – when a player lands a coloured bull (red, yellow or blue) they enter another Hold and Spin feature where they could win the corresponding-coloured jackpot
• Blue Bull – Lightning Jackpot ($500–$1,000)
Players must fill five positions during the Hold and Spin feature to claim the Lightning Jackpot.
• Red Bull – Fire Jackpot ($1,000–$2,000)
Players must fill six positions during the feature to secure the Fire Jackpot.
• Gold Bull – Gold Jackpot ($1,500–$3,000)
Players must fill seven positions during the feature to claim the Gold Jackpot.
Before the feature begins, three COR positions are guaranteed to be filled, ensuring players enter the feature with an immediate credit win already secured. The remainder of the feature focuses on expanding that outcome through additional COR symbols.
Players can win the coloured bull symbols in the Hold and Spin feature, and in the base game. In the base game they are stacked and part of the 6-symbol trigger required to start the Level 1 Hold and Spin feature so players can land several coloured bulls and gain access to multiple features and jackpots.
Free Games
Each maths model within the Cash Horns family also includes a free games feature, with distinct mechanics applied across the two game pairs.
Master Warrior and Ragnar the Great feature compounding multipliers during free games. Multipliers can form across the reels and combine with one another, allowing outcomes to multiply together up to x24 when several are present simultaneously.
In contrast, Grand Toro and Cleopatra’s Kingdom introduce clustered symbols during free games, featuring groups of Cash on Reel symbols and coloured bulls. Clusters can include two or three COR symbols, which reduces the number of individual symbol positions required to trigger the Hold and Spin feature.
When clustered bull symbols land, players can also gain access to multiple Hold and Spin levels simultaneously, increasing the potential jackpot progression within the feature cycle. Additionally, the royal symbols have been removed from the reels during this mode, increasing the likelihood of higher-value line wins during the free games sequence.
The combination of multi-level Hold and Spin games, with a second feature level driven by strong bull symbols and matching jackpots, positions the Cash Horns family as a great option for both club and hotel environments.
