Capital Gains Slots Game

Capital Gains slot machine from AGS has some familiar bonus features. They have been ‘borrowed’ from other slot creators, then adapted to make them feel lively and fresh. One is called ‘Cash Charge’. This bonus feature looks like a hold and spin bonus feature from an Aristocrat slot game. There is also a free spins bonus, which sees extra wilds added to the reels. Add all-ways wins and four jackpot prizes, and you will quickly see that Capital Gains has plenty of action.

This slot game’s theme is money. You will see bank notes, gold coins, bars of bullion and diamonds on the reels. The action is fast, and the bet sizes are flexible.

AGS slots have made the transition from live casinos to the new  Michigan online casinos. You will find this game (along with hundreds of others), available via casino apps and browser-based casino brands.

Setup: How do the Capital Gains slots work?

There is a row of numbers to the left of the spin button. These range from 50 to 500. They show how many coins you are spinning for each time. The default denomination is a penny per line. You can increase this for big bet amounts. Max bet and auto-play can also be seen.

The reels are over to the right of the screen in the online version of Capital Gains. On the left are the four jackpots.

All-ways wins are in play. AGS call this ‘X-Power Stream’. It uses the regular system of needing consecutive matching symbols on three or more reels from the left to award a win.

Regular symbols show either a form of money (including gold, diamonds, and dollars), or playing card filler symbols. There are also wild symbols that connect wins with these regular symbols. In addition, there are numbers and jackpot names that appear within green circles, plus golden vault doors.

Money charge bonus feature

If you hit six or more of the green circles, the ‘Money Charge’ bonus feature will start. This sees the other symbols disappear, and you get three re-spins to add to the number of green symbols. Each time you hit one, your re-spins reset to three.

Just like a hold and spin bonus on a Lightning Link slot, you can win jackpots as well as cash prizes. One difference is that the biggest (grand) jackpot has its own ball. On Lightning Link/Dragon Link slots, you can only win the grand by filling the entire screen with prize symbols.

Once you get three spins with no added prizes, your wins will be totaled above the reels with electric special effects.

Capital Gains slot game: money vault bonus feature

If you hit three or more of the bank vault door symbols anywhere in view, you get a picks game. Two doors are shown. One will reveal free spins, the other will reveal the Money Charge feature. You get between six and 15 free spins, for three, four or five of the vault door symbols.

Before your free spins start, you will get a big boost. Anywhere between 50 and 200 extra wild symbols are added to the reels. With all-ways wins in play, these wilds can make an outsized difference in the number and the size of wins you get.

Money-themed design of Capital Gains slot by AGS

Everything about this online slot refers to money. The background of the reels shows a classic green, with the logo in bold gold. The reels are black, which highlights the sparkling golden symbols. Only the playing card fillers and wild symbols break with this theme.

You will see electricity sparking between the jackpots listed to the left of the reels. Animations are basic, though professionally produced. When the hold and spin bonus starts, the missing regular symbols give you a dramatically different view. There are electric sparks to count up your wins after this feature is completed. The vault doors that trigger the bonus are super-detailed.

Sound effects are bold and brash, with plenty of crashing noises and electronic beeps.

How does the Capital Gains slot compare?

This is a solid online slot from AGS. It does not have the spectacular special effects of River Dragons, for example. What it does have is a lot of features. These might be ‘borrowed’ from other slot producers, though this does not take away from the game play in any way. You can win big jackpots by hitting a green ball with the right name on it. You can also win big multiples of your spin amount.

The free spins bonus is also worth hitting. This adds a lot of wilds to the reels, which gives you a shot at linking up symbols over many (or even all) of the 243 win-lines.
