Brawler’s Bar (Quickspin) Slot Demo & Review

Most places will have a drinking establishment that is best avoided and known to be packed full of the local ‘hard nuts’. You know, the heavily tattooed, skin-headed, big-bellied, larger-lout types who will stare at you like you’ve just insulted their mother just for walking through the door. I’d much prefer a quiet pint rather than having to dodge flying chairs all night, so you won’t see me there, but a slot themed on such a place sounds like great fun. Provider Quickspin Slots has bought us just that in their release of Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect. It’s a medium volatility, five-reel, three-row game with an RTP of 96.02% and a potential maximum win of 5,000x.

Once the game has loaded, we’ll find ourselves in a dingy, dimly lit backstreet, the perfect scene for a booze-fuelled punch-up. There are 25 fixed paylines on the 5×3 grid, and wins are achieved by matching symbols from left to right. These symbols are then removed from the screen through falling reels, which is a nice touch and something I wasn’t expecting from this type of slot. The commonly used cash collect feature serves as the main event, but there is a twist; the value of the coins will double each time a collect symbol lands, and this value is held between spins during the bonus round. Flicking on the Extra Bet button will help trigger the bonus more quickly, whilst three variants of it can be purchased directly via the Bonus Brawl button.

There are several entertaining graphic animations to be found in this slot, such as a big win screen that shows a bent-over leprechaun type character showering the screen with coins that spray from its bottom. Why not give the Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect demo slot a spin and see what else you can find? It’s free to play below!

Brawler’s Bar Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Brawler's Bar Cash Collect Slot Paytable

The combination of boozing and fighting that serves as the theme for today’s game leaves me with plenty to work with in this recommendations section. A Hacksaw Games combat inspired slot that I’ve enjoyed battling away on recently is Fist of Destruction. Any fist symbols that land on the screen will punch upwards, turning the reel wild, potentially with multiplier values of up to x200 if they destroy enemy fighters on the way through! If you’re strictly here for the session, pull up a bar stool and load up Benny the Beer. It uses Hacksaws entertaining Stackway’s feature, where stacks of up to 10 of the same symbol can activate on each reel. It’s full of potential, so you’ll definitely be getting the next round in if you can catch it right! Metaphorically, we’re several pints into this review now, but before you head off for a kebab, let’s have a few for the road to give us time to dig into the features of Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect a bit further. We’ll start with the paytable.

The top symbol featured on Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect is the Wild, which will return 125x the total stake value for each line of five. Next, it’s the Golden Horseshoe at 75x, the Boxing Gloves at 50x, the Pint of Beer at 25x, and the final premium symbol, the Nail Laced Plank of Wood worth 10x. The non-premium symbols available are the A and K, which pay 5x, and the Q and J, both of which will return 2.5x per full line of five.

In a pub fight, many tools are available to the local nutter, from pool cues to pint glasses. We’ll need to select our own weapon in the form of a stake value to attack this slot, and there are 16 different options to choose from, which range from a low of €0.20 to a high of €100.00. There are many values to select from between those extremes, so I’m sure we’ll all be able to find a suitable tool for the job.


Brawler’s Bar Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Brawler's Bar Cash Collect Slot Base Game
Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect slot base game

Brawler’s Bar Cash Collect uses a five-reel grid, with three-row positions on each and 25 fixed paylines. All winning combinations are achieved by matching at least three corresponding symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel along any of these paylines. Any symbols involved in a win are removed from the grid, and all above them will fall downwards to fill the gaps, with additional symbols then dropping from the top to fill the remaining spaces.


Cash Collect

The Cash Collect feature is active during both the base and bonus games. Cash collect symbols can appear in any row position on reels 3, 4, and 5 during standard play, with reel 2 also becoming active if the Extra Bet option is enabled. Cash prize symbols can land in any position on the grid and always begin with a value of 1x the selected stake value. If a cash collect and cash prize symbol are present on the grid during the same spin, the cash value will be collected and removed from the reels, whilst the cash collect symbol will remain in position until the end of the spin.

Any further cash prize symbols that cascade down will be worth double the value, and each time the cash collect symbol is used, the cash prize value will double. Any progress in the increase of cash prize values will be reset at the end of each spin, except in the bonus game.


Extra Bet

Activating the Extra Bet button will increase the cost of each spin by 1.5x the current bet value. In return, reel two will be unlocked, enabling cash collect symbols to land on it, which increases the chance of landing a cash collect symbol on each spin by 55%.

During this feature, the value of the cash prize symbols is not reset between spins and will double each time a cash collect symbol is utilised, as seen in the base game. Extra spins can be won by landing one or more free game symbols when a collect symbol is also on the screen. Quickspin states that the maximum value the cash prize symbols can reach in this feature is 2,048, as opposed to 512 in the base game.

Brawler's Bar Slot Review Final Thoughts

When I first sat down to review this slot and discovered it was another cash collect game, I did not have high hopes. It's become quite a tired mechanism lately due to the high number of times it's been used. This game is that, in some ways, nothing is groundbreaking here, but it's also been given enough extra features to make it reasonably enjoyable, such as cascading reels and the doubling coin values seen in both the base and bonus games. This brings a lot of excitement in the bonus, thanks to the value being held between spins, meaning it can quickly grow to a huge number, and every coin that lands on the reels is worth a small fortune. The problem is that far too often, the bonus starts well and then spins out for nothing from a high number of spins once the coin value has been built up, and that is very frustrating. Overall, this is one of the better efforts in this category, but it's hardly slot of the year material.
