Cool Buck Online Slot by Microgaming

Those seasoned slot players among you, who also happen to be long-time fans of Microgaming, may remember their original “Cool Buck” online video slot offering 3 reels. Well, guess what? Now there’s a ‘new and improved version out on this old classic, with 5 reels! Some further good news is that the character from the original, a rolled-up Banknote, is also in this one! That’s right, folks, he’s back! And he’s ready to grant Free Spins to the lucky players, so we wish him a very warm welcome!

Classic with a New Flavor

This 9-payline online slot, with a 5x3 reel grid, has a rather basic design, which is actually a good thing in this case, for all those of you who wish to be reminded of the old one. The 9 paylines it offers are all fixed, and the Symbols here spin on a black backdrop within a green (duh) frame.

The lower-value symbols are, like many other slot games, represented by Playing Card Symbols, going from 9 up until Ace. Then there are the far more original theme-related Symbols, 3 of them, to be exact: A Triple-Green Bar, a Golden Dollar Sign, and some Stacks of Cool Cash.

Far be it from us to forget about the other Symbols, such as the Wild Symbol, which here takes on the form of the Logo of “Cool Buck”. It can actually appear Stacked on your reels. To be more precise, during the base game, it can only make its appearance on reel 3 and reel 4. But in the Free Spins Round, it can pop up on any reel!

And like all other Wild Symbols, it can substitute for and replace all other Symbols on your reels (in order to assist in creating winning combos), with the Scatter being the only exception to this. Speaking of this slot’s Scatter Symbol, that would be the Cool Buck itself (himself?). We’ll talk more about the role the Scatter has further below.

Free Spins Bonus Features

There are 2 ways in which the player can trigger the special Free Spins Round in this slot. The first way is by landing 3 or more of the Scatter Symbols (Cool Bucks), anywhere in view. The second way is to collect 30 or more of these specific Pink Stars, which can come attached to any of the lower-value Symbols we mentioned above.

We should also make sure to inform you that you can keep track of the total you have collected at any specific moment by glancing at the top right-hand corner. If you do manage to collect enough, and thus, trigger the Free Spin in this way, you will receive the same number of Free Spins as the Pink Stars which you’ve collected so far! This means the minimum you can get in this case is 30 Free Spins!

And no matter how you end up with them, you should be aware that all your wins are subjected to a 2x Multiplier. One more thing worth noting is that it would be impossible to trigger any more of those Free Spins while in this Round. What’s more, your collected Spins will reset to 5 once you return to your base game.

You also get an Autospin option, for whenever you don’t feel like staying glued to your screen but still wish to keep those reels spinning. Last but not least, the bet per spin ranges from a minimum of 0.09 to a maximum of 45.

Money, Money, Money…

ABBA sure got it right with that song of theirs. It should have been the theme for this slot if you ask us. Joking aside, now that you know what’s what, you can choose to try this slot for yourself on one of our top-rated online casinos. Befriend the Cool Buck character here and hope that it will be willing to introduce you to all its ‘friends’. Wink Wink.
