Why do Money Symbols on reels 1 through 4 not automatically pay their displayed values?

They require a Collect character to land on reel 5 during the same spin. Without a collector, the visible Money values are not paid through the standard Money Collect mechanic.

What does the standard Collect character do?

It collects every visible Money Symbol value on reels 1 through 4, adds them together and awards the resulting total.

How does Extra Credit Collect change the visible Money values?

It adds an additional displayed cash value before the Money Symbols are collected, increasing the amount awarded by the feature.

What happens when Multiplier Collect lands?

Its displayed multiplier is applied to the relevant Money values before the final collection is paid.

What makes Expanding Collect different from the other officers?

Every reel already containing a Money Symbol becomes filled with additional Money Symbols. The new positions receive random values and the expanded set is then collected.

How does Respin Collect work?

Current Money Symbols remain locked while the other eligible positions receive another spin. Any additional Money Symbols that arrive can then join the final collection.

What happens to Money Symbols during the 8 Free Spins?

The normal collection mechanics remain active and Money values also contribute to a separate Bonus Pot that is used after the Free Spins finish.

Can Cash Patrol award more than the initial 8 Free Spins?

Yes. Landing another set of three Scatters during the feature awards 8 additional Free Spins, and further qualifying retriggers can continue extending the bonus.

How is the accumulated Bonus Pot collected after Free Spins?

The complete pot becomes one colossal Money Symbol covering reels 1 through 4. Reel 5 then respins once, and a qualifying Collect character must land to award that amount.

Is the Bonus Pot guaranteed to be paid after the final Free Spin?

No. The value is presented on the colossal Money Symbol, but reel 5 must still produce a Collect character during the Final Respin for the pot to be awarded.

Cash Patrol

Name: Cash Patrol
Author: Pragmatic Play

Cash Patrol turns a nighttime police chase into a collection slot where the most valuable symbol on the screen is often not a conventional Wild or premium character, but a pile of stolen cash waiting for the right officer to arrive. Pragmatic Play uses 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines, with Money Symbols appearing across the first four reels and five different Collect characters reserved for reel 5. Each collector handles the visible cash in a different way, while Free Spins introduce a separate Bonus Pot that can culminate in one final attempt to recover everything accumulated during the feature. With a maximum RTP of 96.50% and potential of 10,500x the total bet, Cash Patrol puts far more emphasis on the interaction between Money and Collect symbols than on ordinary line wins. Regular combinations require at least three matching symbols across adjacent reels from left to right, beginning with reel 1. Donut shaped J, Q, K and A symbols occupy the lower end of the paytable, while handcuffs, a police hat, stacks of banknotes and a getaway car provide the premium payouts. The car is the strongest standard symbol and awards 32x the total bet when five appear across one qualifying payline. The police badge acts as the Wild and can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. It substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but not for the Bonus, Money or Collect symbols. Its purpose is conventional substitution, while the specialised Money Collect system carries most of the game's additional mechanics. Money Symbols appear only on reels 1 through 4 and display random cash values. A standard Money Symbol can reach 35x the total bet. These values are not automatically awarded just because the symbols land. At least one of the five Collect characters must appear on reel 5 during the same spin before the visible cash becomes relevant. The normal Collect character simply adds together every Money value currently visible and pays the resulting amount. Extra Credit Collect improves the collection before payment by adding its displayed extra value to the Money Symbols. Multiplier Collect instead applies its displayed multiplier to the visible Money values before they are awarded. These two versions can turn the same Money layout into substantially different prizes depending on which officer arrives on reel 5. Expanding Collect changes the reel layout temporarily. Any reel containing a Money Symbol becomes filled with Money Symbols, with the newly created positions receiving random values before the complete amount is collected. A single Money Symbol can therefore become an entire reel of cash when this collector lands. Respin Collect follows another route. Existing Money Symbols are held in their positions while the remaining eligible positions respin, creating another opportunity to add further Money Symbols before the final collection is calculated. Unlike a conventional Hold and Spin bonus, this is a modifier attached to the collector rather than a separate multi spin feature. The red police siren is the Scatter and appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. Landing all three required Scatters awards a 1x Scatter prize and activates 8 Free Spins. The Money and Collect mechanics remain fully active during the feature, but every Money value that appears also contributes towards a separate Bonus Pot. Free Spins can be retriggered without a stated limit. Landing another complete set of three Scatters awards another 8 Free Spins. Longer features are especially important because additional Money Symbols continue increasing the Bonus Pot that will eventually be used in the final stage. Once the final Free Spin has finished, the accumulated Bonus Pot returns to the grid as one colossal Money Symbol covering reels 1 through 4. Reel 5 then receives one final respin. If a Collect character lands, the giant Money value is successfully collected and added to the feature win. A modified Collect can also affect this final collection according to its respective mechanic, giving the last reel considerable importance. If no suitable Collect character appears on that final reel, the accumulated Bonus Pot is not awarded. This creates a very different ending from most collection bonuses because building a large pot does not itself guarantee that the value will be recovered. The final reel still has to produce the officer needed to complete the arrest. Cash Patrol has a maximum RTP configuration of 96.50%, with a 95.50% alternative also documented. Stakes range from 0.25 to 125 and maximum potential reaches 10,500x the total bet. Reliable theoretical figures for Hit Frequency, natural Free Spins frequency and exact Max Win Probability have not been publicly disclosed. The game has no Megaways mechanic or progressive jackpot. Its strongest feature is the variety inside the Money Collect system, since the same cash symbols can produce a straightforward collection, receive additional value, be multiplied, expand into more Money Symbols or be given another respin depending entirely on which officer reaches reel 5.
