The reels may have changed but the rules haven't. The objective remains the same; the only thing that changes is the size of prize you may win and the number of symbols you may land on a payline. The aim is to spin the reels to find the prizes. If you land matching symbols on the 15 paylines, you'll win the prize associated with that particular prize. The position of the paylines can be identified at the site of the game which means you always know what you're hoping to come up on these reels.

If players can think back to the 3 reel version of Cash Splash, they will remember that the symbols in the game were inspired by a retro fruit machine. These symbols are back again, and the wild symbol reappears too. The wild symbol, represented by the Cash Splash logo, will substitute other symbols in the game apart from the scatter symbol.  This, therefore, increases your chances of creating winning combinations across the 15 paylines. What's more, the wild symbol also gives you the chance to win big because if you bet the maximum amount and land 5 wild symbols on the reels you'll scoop up the progressive jackpot.

The other main difference between the 2 versions of the games, besides the transition from 3 reels to 5 reels, is the inclusion of the scatter symbol. This special symbol has a bit more of an edge to its payout because it pays out a lot more cash and the best part is that it doesn't have to appear on a payline in order to payout. The scatter symbols can payout from any position on the reels, so it's not bound by the payline. Players can win themselves an x250 multiplier when they find 5 of these symbols scattered throughout the game after any single spin.
