Cash & Crab (Amatic Industries) – Review & Demo Play

Cash & Crab - Game Overview

Cash & Crab is an underwater video slot from Amatic with a retro cabinet vibe and a lively coral reef backdrop. The setup sticks to 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines, so the maths stays clear and simple. I can toggle Autoplay or tap a manual quick spin to keep the tempo brisk. The graphics are clean, the soundtrack fits the setting, and the whole package runs smoothly in any modern browser thanks to solid HTML5 optimisation.

I like how Cash & Crab keeps the controls tidy on desktop under the reels, then switches to a cleaner touch layout on mobile. Landscape mode on phone or tablet works best for me, as symbols and paytable details stay readable. It feels like a classic Amanet cabinet given a fresh underwater skin, aimed at lower stakes while still offering decent payout potential. Nothing flashy, just a straightforward setup that lets the bonus round do the heavy lifting when it turns up.

RTP, Volatility and Bets in Cash & Crab

From a numbers angle Cash & Crab lands well for me, with RTP listed at 97.11% and medium volatility. There are 18 stake steps from 0.10 to 10 per spin, so bankroll management stays easy. The top standard hit is 200x from crabs or turtles, while the headline potential reaches about x2200 with a strong feature. No progressive pots are attached, and the hit rate isn’t stated, though it feels above average in practice. I pace sessions and adjust stakes around bonus cycles.

Cash & Crab Symbols and Paytable

Symbol wise Cash & Crab sticks with sea creatures, banknotes and card ranks. The crab scatter is the star, paying 0.5x, 5x, 20x or 200x for two to five. Turtles can match that top 200x for a full line, while starfish reach up to 75x. Jellyfish and seashell icons cap at 40x. That top line hit list gives the game its bite, as the bigger sea icons can pop in clumps and carry sessions when the feature takes its time.

Banknote symbols pull double duty. On regular lines a set can pay up to 20x, but during the feature each note also carries its own prize from x1 to x50. Low symbols are the card figures A down to 10. Five of a kind pays up to 7.5x, with smaller line hits dropping to 0.5x. There’s no wild in the base game, which keeps starts steady, then those scatters take over the wild role once free spins land.

I find the paytable clear, which suits the retro style. Premiums stand out with brighter art and stronger returns, while the cards fill in the frequent low hits that keep the balance ticking. Scatter wins up to 200x give the round-to-round spike, and the starfish, jellyfish and notes handle mid range work. It’s an even spread that lets me plan session length and push for the feature without the base game feeling barren or too streaky.

Bonus Features in Cash & Crab

Free spins are where Cash & Crab comes alive. Land three, four or five crab scatters anywhere and you get 10, 15 or 25 free games. During the round those scatters turn into wild crabs that substitute for all symbols. Each wild is collected in a meter, and every fourth adds 10 extra spins. The first set lifts the Crab Cashwin multiplier to x2, the next to x3, then x5, and those multipliers apply to Crab Cashwin only.

The Crab Cashwin feature defines how big free spins can go. All green banknotes carry bet multipliers between x1 and x50, and when at least one wild crab lands with any notes their combined values get paid for each wild on screen. In practice I've had rounds where it barely fires, but when wilds line up with chunky notes the meter can leap fast. That swing is the hook, and it's what I chase when I settle in.

Final Thoughts on Cash & Crab

After many sessions I rate Cash & Crab as a strong pick when I want classic gameplay with modern maths. The lack of a base-game wild and the single feature keep it simple, yet 97.11% RTP and a x2200 cap give proper long term pull. Stakes start at 0.10, so I can grind on mobile in short bursts and wait for the right setup. No jackpots here, just steady medium volatility and clean execution that rewards patience.
