Gold Cash Free Spins slot game

Try the Demo Version

The demo runs on virtual credits. No card details, no deposit, no catches. You're testing the mechanics with fake money before deciding whether to play for real.

This is the identical game to the real-money version – same math, same certified RNG (GLI UK), same metrics. Inspired Gaming runs version 1.0.2 for both demo and live play. What you see in free mode is exactly what you'd get with actual stakes.

You don't need an account to launch it. No registration wall, no time limits, no spin caps. Want to trigger the Free Spins bonus three times to see how it actually pays? Go ahead. Testing the Gamble wheel at different values? Play as long as you need.

The demo balance resets if you run out. Just refresh and you're back to full credits. Use it to check if the 5×4 grid and 40 paylines suit you, or whether the bonus frequency matches your patience. Once you've seen enough, the real version is the same game with your own money on the line.

Most slots pile on complexity when you hit the bonus—multipliers stacking, reels expanding, wild modifiers everywhere. Gold Cash Free Spins does the opposite: it strips the game down to just four symbols. When you trigger the feature with three scatter coins, those fiddly card symbols vanish completely, leaving only Wild and three types of gold bars across eight spins. It's Inspired Gaming's second swing at their Gold Cash formula, released in 2020 after the 2018 original proved popular enough to spawn a whole family of variants. The question is whether this radical simplification actually improves your chances, or if you're just watching a less cluttered screen deliver the same results. With 95% RTP and a £250,000 win cap, the maths side needs examining as much as the stripped-back mechanic.

How To Play

Before your first spin, click the coin stack icon on the right side to set your stake. You'll see a grid of 16 preset amounts ranging from 0.20 to 100—just tap your preferred bet. Your selection highlights in purple, and the game updates the stake display at the bottom of the screen.

To spin the reels, press the large circular button marked "PRESS TO SPIN" on the right side. Alternatively, you can use the spacebar on your keyboard as a shortcut. The game plays across 40 fixed paylines, so you don't need to worry about adjusting line counts.

Autoplay Setup

Hold down the spin button (don't just tap it) to open the autoplay menu. You can select the number of spins and set loss limit amounts—the game counts down automatically between spins. To stop autoplay early, press the square stop button that replaces the spin button during auto mode. UK regulations require loss limits on autoplay, so you'll need to confirm these before starting.

Gamble Feature

If you win 5x your stake or more, the gamble button appears in green at the top right (marked "5X OR ABOVE"). Press it to enter a two-wheel gamble feature. The left wheel lets you increase your win by a third, double it, or triple it. The right wheel offers free spins. Use the +/- arrows to adjust your gamble amount—this changes the size of the green (win) and red (lose) segments proportionally. Press either wheel to spin the pointer, or press the green "COLLECT" button to take your winnings and return to the base game.

Spin Chance

When your balance drops below your current stake but isn't zero, Spin Chance triggers automatically. You can choose "PLAY" to wager your remaining credit for a chance at one more spin, or "NO THANKS" to keep what's left. The odds are proportional to your remaining balance versus the bet cost.

Interface Options

Press the gear icon (bottom right) to access settings. You can toggle sound on/off, view game history, or enable "LEFT HAND PLAY" to swap button positions if you prefer controls on the opposite side. The expandable menu on the left (triangle icon) provides quick stake adjustments using up/down arrows.

All game information and paytables are accessible through Settings > Game Info.

Wild Symbol

Wild Symbol

The Wild appears as a purple rectangular frame with gold borders containing the word "WILD" in large gold 3D letters with sparkle effects. It substitutes for all symbols except the Free Spins bonus symbol.

Wild appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 in both the base game and Free Spins bonus.

Free Spins Bonus Symbol

Free Spins Bonus Symbol

The Bonus symbol is a circular gold coin with "FS" in the centre and "FREESPINS" text around the edge, radiating golden light. It appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the base game. This symbol doesn't pay – it triggers the feature.

Free Spins Bonus

Free Spins Bonus feature

Landing 3 Free Spins bonus symbols anywhere in view triggers the feature, awarding 8 free spins.

During free spins, the reels change completely. Only four symbols appear:

  • Wild (purple frame)
  • Gold Bars in Purple Frame (highest value)
  • Large Gold Bars
  • Medium Gold Bars (pair of medium-sized gold bars at an angle)

The low-value card symbols (J, Q, K) and cash stacks disappear entirely. This means every spin contains only premium symbols and Wilds.

The feature can't retrigger – Free Spins symbols don't appear during the bonus.

Gamble Feature

Gamble Feature with Cash and Free Spins wheels

After any win in the base game, the Gamble feature may be offered. This is configurable and can be set to:

  • Always on
  • Only for wins of 5x stake or higher
  • Off

Two wheels are presented when you enter Gamble:

Cash Wheel (left)
Offers three possible win increases:

  • Increase winnings by one third
  • Double winnings
  • Triple winnings

Free Spins Wheel (right)
Offers the chance to win Free Spins. You can adjust the stake value using +/- arrows, which changes the size of the winning and losing segments.

Both wheels have green (win) and red (lose) segments. Press either wheel to spin the pointer.

If the pointer lands on green, you receive the cash value or Free Spins. If it lands on red, you lose your winnings and return to the base game.

Limits:

  • Maximum win amount: 250,000.00 (winnings auto-collect at this point)
  • Maximum Free Spins: 30 (Free Spins wheel disables, but Cash wheel remains available)

Press the COLLECT button anytime to take your winnings and exit. The gamble has an expected payback of 100%.

Spin Chance

Spin Chance meter

Spin Chance triggers automatically when your credit drops below the current bet amount but is still greater than zero. It gives you one last shot at continuing.

You'll see a meter with green and red segments sized proportionally to your remaining credit versus the current bet. Press PLAY to spin the pointer, or NO THANKS to keep your remaining credit.

Green segment: awards one spin at current bet (plays automatically)
Red segment: lose remaining credit, return to base game

The chance of winning is determined by the ratio of your remaining credit to the bet amount.
