Cash in Transit Slot Review

Cash in Transit Slot Overview

Cash in Transit is Relax Gaming's London crime caper, and as someone who has hammered the Money Cart titles I clocked the setup straight away. The action takes place on a 5 reel by 4 row grid bolted onto the back of an armoured van, with the chance to open up two extra reels during the feature. There are no standard paylines or picture symbols, just blanks, scatters and coin style feature symbols.

Bets run from 10p to £100 a spin, which suits both small testers and feature hunters willing to push harder. The default RTP sits around 96.10 percent, though some operators use lower settings, so I always check the info panel before grinding. Volatility is on the sharp side with a hit rate under ten percent, but the game dangles a maximum win of 10,000 times stake measured through its coin system.

Design and Setting in Cash in Transit

In Cash in Transit I am parked in a grimy back street version of eighties London, staring at the rear doors of the van while sirens wail in the distance. The cops and robbers cast feels straight out of a British crime series, helped by voiced character calls and cheeky symbol names like Gov'Nor and Bag Man. The soundtrack leans on tense, pulsing loops that kick up a gear when the heist finally sparks.

RTP, Volatility and Bets in Cash in Transit

From a stats angle Cash in Transit sticks pretty close to Relax's usual numbers. The main model runs at around 96.10 percent RTP, but there are published versions at 94 and even 86 percent, so the house edge can shift a fair bit. Whatever the setting, the maths sits in the medium to high bracket, and the base game can go on long stretches of blanks between meaningful bonus symbols.

Stakes start at 10p and cap at £100, tying in well with the coin based win system. Every coin is worth roughly a tenth of your wager, and the game advertises up to 100,000 coins on a single feature, which translates to that 10,000 times stake ceiling. In practice my better sessions have come from a couple of strong bonus rounds rather than chipping away with small coin hits.

Symbols and Paytable in Cash in Transit

Cash in Transit ditches the usual low pays and premiums entirely, so the paytable looks very different to a regular video slot. In the base game you only see blank spaces and bonus style symbols that either trigger or support the respins feature. Actual payouts arrive through coin values collected in the feature, shown clearly along the top of the reels so you can track how much the current heist has banking.

Once three or more scatters blow open the doors you start landing Cash Bag symbols and the various crooks and coppers. Cash Bags carry 1 to 10 coins each. Bag Man scoops up every value in view and adds it to himself. The Bag Man or Money Man combo goes a step further, targeting a handful of other symbols, taking their values then paying his new total back into each chosen target.

Lock Smith doubles several other symbols, sometimes hitting the same one more than once, while Gov'Nor replays used feature symbols such as Bag Man, the combo, Lock Smith, Detective and Constable. Pawn Broker clears away Cash Bags to clear room, Detective keeps doubling a single target, and Constable adds fresh coins repeatedly into one symbol. Golden persistent versions of these icons repeat their tricks after every spin, with Persistent Attack Dog morphing into a different special each time.

Respins Bonus Features in Cash in Transit

The only real feature in Cash in Transit is the respins round, but it carries the whole game. Landing three or more bonus scatters in the base view starts things off with three respins and only coin symbols and special characters on the grid. Every time at least one new symbol appears the counter jumps back to three. Fill a reel with four symbols and you open up a fresh reel, which can happen twice.

The bonus ends when you either run out of respins or cover every position, and the total coin value then converts back into a stake multiple. In my experience the most exciting rounds come when several persistent symbols drop in together. A Persistent Lock Smith repeatedly doubling values while a Persistent Bag Man keeps collecting them, backed up by an Attack Dog rolling into yet another helpful character, can send the count racing very quickly.

Cash in Transit Slot Verdict

As a long time fan of Relax's hold and win style games I see Cash in Transit as a straight British spin on a familiar formula. It is effectively a bonus only slot with a very stripped back base game, so players who enjoy long feature hunts might feel short changed. For me the cops and robbers flavour, coin system and nasty swings all work fine when I only sit down for focused heist sessions.
