Cash or Crash Live Game Review

Evolution has had great success with their Augmented Reality Live Game range, and Cash or Crash Live is a highly entertaining addition to the popular series. The studio mimics the inside of a blimp, and each rung you climb up the 20-step cash ladder lifts the blimp further and further off the ground. We’re unsure if ‘escape velocity’ can be achieved, but we do know that you can win up to a staggering 50,000x your stake.

You get a choice for each green ball you draw, continue, cash out half or cash out everything. Each green ball takes you towards the top, while a red ball means you crash and go bust. The Golden Ball shields you from the latter, but only once, and keeping it intact up the cash ladder is key to winning big. Up to 18,000x your stake can be achieved even without it though, and you get an exceptional 99.59 % RTP with optimal strategy.

Cash or Crash Live Features & How to Play

You start by placing your bet up front, and then the first ball is drawn. There are plenty of green balls, some red balls and only 1 golden ball. You need a green ball to win, and this gives you 3 choices:

• Continue - means that you stay in the game with 100 % of your stake and winnings, waiting for the next ball to be drawn.
• Take Half - allows you to cash out 50 % of whatever you’ve racked up in terms of winning thus far, while staying in the game with 50 %.
• Take All - means that you cash out 100 % of your winnings, and this effectively ends the round for you.

The round is also over when a red ball is drawn. This entails that the whole AR-studio blimp, as well as the corresponding cash ladder, crashes to the ground. The only exception is if you’ve drawn the Golden Ball before the red ball is drawn, as the Golden Ball awards 1 extra life or “shield”.

If you manage to carry the Golden Ball with you all the way to the top of the 20-step cash prize ladder, you stand to win 50,000x your stake. If you get to the top without the golden ball intact, you win 18,000x your stake. The golden ball “shield” is used up if you hit a red ball on the way up, and when the golden ball is drawn, everything goes on autopilot until you either draw a red ball or hit the top prize.

The 200 Spins Cash or Crash Live Experience

We had a great time testing Cash or Crash, and it offers tons of entertainment value without having to spend or risk all that much. We got into some nerve-racking rounds, and it’s a good idea to hold your tongue straight in the mouth as you navigate this thing with the best possible strategy (at least as your default mode, but taking chances is also part of the fun).

Review Summary

Evolution continues their highly successful Augmented Reality Live Game series, and Cash or Crash Live looks like another winner.

Pitching ‘greed’ against ‘fear of missing out’ has never been more fun, as this game gives you plenty of options that will affect your theoretical returns. With optimal strategy the RTP is a very solid 99.59 %, something very few games (except Blackjack) can brag about.

Climbing the cash ladder can be a nerve-racking affair for sure, but the ‘take half’ option comes in handy when you feel like cutting your losses. When you draw the Golden Ball, you’ll feel a rush of adrenaline that might carry you all the way to the top-tier 50,000x prize. A massive potential, combined with exceptional theoretical returns, makes this strategy-based Live Game a must-try for both penny punters, high rollers and everyone in-between.

Pros

• Pitches greed vs fear of missing out
• Options and strategy affect returns
• Win up to 50,000x your stake
• Optimal strategy RTP is 99.59 %

Cons

• Optimal strategy is not disclosed (for now)

If you love Cash or Crash Live you should also try:

1000x Busta - is a somewhat similar RNG-based game from 4ThePlayer, and you’ll place your bet to see a multiplier accelerate towards x1000 as the top prize. You can go bust at any time though, so the aim is to cash out everything before that happens.

The Incredible Balloon Machine - is based around a similar concept as the above game, but set in a more visually pleasing environment. You’ll inflate balloons to win cash prizes, but the balloon might pop at any moment. You can win up to 3,083x your stake in this game.

Gonzo's Treasure Hunt Live - is another Augmented Reality live game from Evolution, and you’ll see NetEnt’s iconic Conquistador character in-studio with the live host. It’s basically a massive Pick’em Bonus Game set in the middle of a virtual Incan city, and you can win up to 20,000x your stake from a single stone pick.
