Shades of brown dress up the sleek new online slot Cashoccino with a coffee-related theme, but it doesn’t quite provide the adrenaline rush that you’d expect from a Microgaming pokie, especially after many recently released premium games like Hellboy, for instance. The symbols look delicious at first glance, the colors get the palette ready for chocolates, coffee and all things wonderful dipped in either milk or dark chocolate but the effect is ineffective as most players aren’t going to fall in love with this one. The A-K-Q-J-10 symbols, the café lattes, café mochas, espresso shots and an espresso press, cups of Americano coffee and Bell Aroma coffee, despite the caffeine rush only offers a simple free spins extra bonus round. The scatter in this new, 30-payline slot game by Microgaming is the silhouette coffee cup button. Players win the additional free spins by hitting the gold extra bet coffee mugs consecutively on the reels. Three gold coffee cup logos or more will win players up to 30 free spins when players use the exclusive extra bet button to spin. All wins are tripled during the free spins feature and the free spins can be retriggered. The red, black and gold coloring matches well with the browns and the soundtrack is upbeat and clear. Still, if this slot could be compared to coffee beans, it wouldn’t yield a cup of coffee that would be described as “roasted to perfection.” Cashoccino’s graphics are clean and sharp, but the idea and inventiveness of this slot is but only half full, for both the pessimist and the optimist alike.
