How to play
Cash Buster Stacks is accessible to players of all experience levels. It takes a just few short moments before you’re ready to dive in and start collecting your cash rewards.
Start things off by deciding on the number of tickets and their value. Use the + and – icons below the Select Tickets heading to increase or decrease, respectively, the number of tickets you want to activate.
After that, you can use the + and – icons below the Ticket Cost heading to raise or lower the value of the tickets you have activated. Your total wager is equal to the number of tickets activated multiplied by the ticket cost.
Once you’re satisfied with your wager amount, click or tap the Play button to reveal your tickets. Stacks of colorful block symbols will rain down from above to fill all spaces available on each ticket. To win, match three blocks of the same color that share a border. You’ll be awarded a cash prize according to the prize table, which is informed by the total wager you’ve made for the round. Matching block clusters will be removed and new blocks will fall into their place, making room for more matches.
Revealing a star symbol within the same ticket as a winning cluster will increase the multiplier for that specific ticket. Every additional star revealed on the ticket will increase the multiplier by one. The total multiplier value is displayed above each ticket. Multipliers will be applied to the ticket after all matches have been revealed.
Revealing three adjacent lightning bolt symbols in a single ticket to activate hyper plays for that ticket. Hyper plays act as free rounds on that specific ticket and will result in five, 10 or 15 additional plays. After all plays have been completed, the total amount of prizes, including multipliers, will be awarded to the player.
Revealing five arrow symbols anywhere across all tickets will award the player an instant prize informed by their total wager for that round. The total prize amount will be displayed above the arrow meter.
Revealing three bonus symbols anywhere across all tickets will activate the bonus game. During the bonus game, three portals will appear with the number of plays remaining displayed below each.
Click or tap the Go button to open the portals. Each time this takes place, the plays remaining will decrease by one. When a portal opens, one of four outcomes will be revealed. These are:
- Blank – Nothing happens.
- Prize amount – This gets added to the prize total for the bonus game.
- Multiplier amount – This gets added to the multiplier total for the bonus game.
- Extra symbol – This adds a number of plays remaining to the portal that revealed it.
Once the number of plays remaining below a portal reaches zero, that portal is no longer active. A deactivated portal will continue to open if other portals are still active. However, deactivated portals cannot award prizes or multipliers. A deactivated portal that opens to reveal an Extra symbol becomes reactivated.
When no more plays are remaining under any portal, the game is over, multipliers are applied to prizes and payouts are awarded to the player.
