Cash Vandal Slot Review

Cash Vandal is set against a stylish graffiti backdrop that evokes the spirit of urban exploration and rebellious art. The reels are mounted on a shiny train carriage, and each spin hints at your next stop across Europe’s iconic cities. An energised, modern soundtrack powers the action alongside popping colours and street art motifs.

There is a clever balance of cartoonish flair, gritty spray can imagery, and a classic slot machine feel in this game. Dual-themed games are not very rare in Play’n GO’s catalogue, and this one featuring a combination of travel and urban subculture is one of the more successful implementations.

The paytable sports five lower-paying fruit symbols—cherries, blueberries, raspberries, oranges, and watermelons—plus medium icons of cash bundles and gold bars, and a top-tier standard icon of a diamond. A distinctive Cash Vandal Wild substitutes for any other pay symbol, while the golden spray can Scatter triggers the bonus features.

Below is a quick overview of the main symbol payouts for matching four of a kind on any payline:

All right, let us sum it up. This is a high volatility slot but it is missing a reel (only offers four). This makes it quite cramped but that is a plus—you get more density that improves the hit frequency. Add to that the high volatility and it is actually quite fun to see how well the reels pay out over time.

This graffiti tour of Europe’s greatest cities has three core bonus mechanics. All of them pack quite a punch and offer some big-win potential. Between respins, selectable city modifiers, and a free spins feature that can theoretically go on and on, it is easy to get swept up in the defiant urban vibe.

Respin

Landing the golden spray can (Scatter) on reel 4 without any other spray can present on reels 1-3 triggers the respin feature. You are awarded one re-spin where reel 4 remains locked in place. Reels 1-3 spin anew, offering a second shot at catching additional spray cans, which can trigger the City feature or even free spins.

In isolation, it is easy to say that this is not exactly a lucrative bonus feature. But these respins certainly heighten the suspense to prep the reels for more profitable features that follow.

City Bonuses (London, Paris, and Berlin)

Getting a golden Scatter on reel 4 plus at least one regular red spray can on reels 1 to 3 (either on the initial spin or during a respin) awards you with a choice between three of Europe’s most popular cities with their own modifiers:

• Berlin: Adds 2 or 3 extra Wilds to reels 1-3.
• London: Places 2-9 Mystery Symbols on reels 1-3, revealing a matching icon.
• Paris: Synchronises reels 1 and 2, giving a 2x2 mega symbol block.

It is brief by all means—but this single spin can quickly turn into a bumper payday if the reels align in your favour.

Free Spins Round

Lastly, there is a free spins round in Cash Vandal as well. To activate this, you have to land the golden Scatter on reel 4 plus two red cans (for 5 spins) or three red cans (for 10 spins) on reels 1 to 3. When the round is triggered, you will be given the option to choose from three cities—London, Paris, and Berlin. 

Choose which city’s modifier you want for the duration of your free spins. Reel 4 remains stacked wild throughout, and you can retrigger indefinitely by landing two or three new red cans. Each retrigger layers on more spins, letting you repeatedly exploit your chosen city bonus.

At first, I was convinced the 4-reel setup was going to be my downfall—like trying to graffiti on a single brick wall with no room to spread my artistic genius. Turns out, it is just quirky enough to keep things interesting. I could not help but grin when the train pulled into each city, bringing fresh reel modifiers along with it. Sure, the game can be a bit of a tease, handing out plenty of small wins while you yearn for the multiplier-laden free spins, but that is part of the slot’s edgy charm.

Still, I would not call it a masterclass in slot innovation.

With a Play’n GO-patented 5,000x potential, Cash Vandal is not shy, and the City Feature for that single extra spin is surprisingly enjoyable to watch unfold. If I am being honest, the main thrill factor is in hitting those high-volatility bursts—especially when reel 4 goes wild and the city modifiers line up. It might not be my ride-or-die slot, but it does enough to deserve a seat on my “let’s spin it for the thrill of it” list.

Rating: 6.5 (Okay)

Despite the unusual layout, Cash Vandal has just enough creativity to spark interest. It is not going to make anybody’s personal top ten or even twenty, but the above-average RTP, the zany theme, and the novel city-hopping features give it solid entertainment value. Granted, the big wins do not always show up right away, and you have to be prepared for some dry spells. But for a quick dose of something out-of-the-ordinary—and with a respectable max win on offer—it is worth a try.
