9 Dragon Balls Cash Up: Gather Lucky Orbs for up to 500x Jackpots

Fugaso’s newer titles draw inspiration from classic slots, and 9 Dragon Balls Cash Up is no exception. The game has a vibrant oriental style, with concentric circles adding a beautiful touch, along with jackpots up to 500x your bet, sticky bonus symbols, and multipliers. This game can stand up to the best from Wazdan, let me tell you why!

The base game features a small 3x3 grid with medium-high volatility, but there are no paylines or paying symbols. Instead, the base game serves as a stepping stone to reach the bonus round, where the real rewards are. Reaching the bonus game wasn’t easy, but I wasn't completely out of luck as the lucky riches feature came to my rescue more than once.

Whenever a bonus symbol lands on the reels, the lucky riches feature can activate at random and drop down cash symbols to cover the entire row and award the bonus game. The first time I managed to enter the bonus was after around 20 or so spins in the main game. It is a hold and win style mini-game where I got 3 re-triggerable spins and a few extra features which were a lot of fun to trigger. 

The most common among them were the Cash Up symbols, whenever they appear on the top most reel, the value of coins below them can grow by up to 4x. The second most common were the Boost X-Up feature which can add a 2x or 3x multiplier to an entire reel full of symbols. Both of these features appeared pretty easily during the bonus game and padded up my wins significantly. 

Luckily I had managed to land 5 coin symbols which got a cash up boost twice and a boost X-Up feature once to get me an impressive 39x win from the round. I was able to trigger the bonus five more times throughout my session and got varied results from wins as low as 9x my bet when features didn’t activate to a much more sizable 44x win from landing a mini jackpot with a 2x multiplier boost on top. 

I also tried my lcuk in the Super Bonus game with the bonus buy feature but the wins from the round were unexpectedly small between 8x to 12x my bet. I also found that the super bonus game generally didn’t get me any jackpots despite me landing 3 or more mystery jackpot symbols. 

Apart from that, I have nothing but good things to say about the 9 Dragon Balls Cash Up slot by Fugaso. It’s good to see some competition in the Hold and Win genre from a title that isn’t half-baked just to capitalize on the trend. Although I would have liked the cash symbols to carry more than just 4x wins, this slot has the potential for profit with its liberal jackpot rewards and wraps it up in a beautiful visual package which earns it my recommendation.
