In Cash Frenzy’s Golden Island Treasure, players progress through a map of five different islands by filling a meter during machine play. Each island has a unique bonus game. After completing all five islands, players unlock a sixth island to play for a jackpot.

Players collect wilds on two reel sets in myVEGAS Slots’ Devin & Dell. On the top reel set, a good cat drops floating halos that become wilds every ten spins. On the bottom reel set, an evil cat stacks flames to create a full-reel wild. During a free spins bonus, players answer moral dilemma questions to determine the free spins multiplier.

There was a -2.4x MoM decline in pick’em and multiplier bonuses. This decline is partly explained by a shift towards mini-game bonuses, which increased +2.0x in July.
