Cashoccino Introduction

Cashoccino originally hit the scene in 2014, then vanished for a period before resurfacing. It’s an average slot at best, which makes Microgaming’s decision to revive it a bit puzzling. Honestly, it’s hard to recall the last time Microgaming put out a truly great title, and we’d much rather be covering something new, but this is what we’ve got—so let’s get into it.

Cashoccino uses a traditional format with 5-reels, 3-rows and 30 paylines. After the html5 update, it runs smoothly across all devices with stakes ranging from €0.30 to €30. That said, there’s an “Extra Bet” option, and when it’s switched on, the available bets increase to €0.45 to €45.

The overall feel definitely echoes The Finer Reels of Life, one of Microgaming’s strongest slots, though Cashoccino comes across more like an earlier, less successful draft before they nailed the concept with The Finer Reels of Life. You get laid-back Italian Riviera-style music, and the theme aims for a cappuccino luxury vibe—almost like you can smell the coffee. Almost.

Cashoccino Symbols

The reels feature card suit symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, alongside 5 premium coffee logos where the Cafe Latte is the top payer, awarding 166x for 5 of a kind. The symbols don’t show up as stacked full reels; in fact, it may not even be possible to land 2 identical symbols on the same reel, which goes a long way toward explaining the limited upside. There’s also a wild symbol, and landing 5 of them on a payline pays 333 times the stake.

Cashoccino Free Spins

To be blunt, the base game doesn’t offer much, so everything hinges on the free spins. In the main game you’ll find an “Extra Bet” button, which for a 50% increase in bet size grants 30 free spins instead of the usual 15 free spins when 3 or more scatter symbols land on any reel. On top of that, it triples all wins and gives an extra free spin for every 2 scatter symbols that appear on the reels. If 3 or more scatter symbols lands, you’re awarded another 30 free spins. Realistically, you’ll want the Extra Bet enabled if you expect to get much out of this slot.

Cashoccino Conclusion

Cappuccino offers roughly a 1000x max win potential on a single bonus spin, but that depends on hitting a wild line. It can happen, sure, though given this is a low to medium variance slot, you’ll probably end up with considerably less. We found the experience genuinely dull—not only because the paytable is weak, but because the gameplay feels sluggish and dated. Those 30 free spins drag on, and even with the x3 multiplier in the bonus, it struggles to feel exciting. Still, the sheer amount of free spins you can trigger does give it some respectable potential.
