Cash Collector is a bonus mechanic built around a Collect symbol that gathers cash, multiplier or free-spin icons landing on the same reel spin.
A collection-based bonus mechanic where a Collect symbol sweeps up prize values landed in the same spin — instead of paying every symbol on its own.
Cash Collector is a bonus mechanic found in a number of Pragmatic Play slot titles. Instead of paying every symbol individually, the reels carry prize icons with fixed values, and a separate Collect symbol sweeps up whatever prizes land in that same spin. The mechanic works in the base game and inside bonus rounds, so it can shape both regular spins and dedicated feature rounds.
Prize icons carry fixed credit values printed directly on the symbol, and they do not pay out on their own — the value only counts once a Collect symbol lands on the same spin. If no Collect symbol appears, the prize icons on that spin simply do not carry over: there is no memory between spins, so uncollected values disappear once the reels stop.
The feature can trigger during ordinary base-game spins or during a dedicated bonus round, and repeated hits can build up cash rewards, multipliers or extra free spins depending on the game's rule set. Some titles collect cash on a spin-by-spin basis every time a Collect symbol lands, while others tally the total only once the bonus round ends.
Because the symbols in play are typically randomized on every spin, the mechanic is a variation on standard slot randomness rather than a separate system: the same reel and RNG rules that decide symbol positions also decide whether a Collect symbol lands.
Several Cash Collector titles are available in our catalog. Wild Wild Riches and Reel Banks both use the collect-and-sweep structure described above, while Cash Patrol and 888 Bonanza apply the same core mechanic with different reel themes and bonus round structures. All of these run on Pragmatic Play's engine, which is the provider behind the Cash Collector titles listed on this page.
RTP and volatility are the two figures worth checking before choosing a Cash Collector slot, since they describe theoretical long-term payback and how payouts are distributed, not what happens on any single spin. High volatility Cash Collector slots tend to feel slower between strong hits but can produce larger payout swings once the feature lands, while low volatility versions usually pay smaller amounts more often and give a steadier session.
RTP and house edge always add up to 100%, so a slot with a 96.5% RTP carries a 3.5% house edge on the same math. Slot house edges generally fall between 2% and 10%, which is a useful benchmark when comparing Cash Collector titles against other slot mechanics.
Cash Collector titles from Pragmatic Play appear across a wide range of operators, so availability is less of a concern than checking the operator itself before depositing. The casino ratings hub lists operators by license, payout record and game selection, which is a practical starting point before picking where to play a specific Cash Collector title. Players who enjoy the collection mechanic but want a different bonus structure can compare it against a random-multiplier build via the Random Multipliers feature hub, or check how prize icons are handled in general on the Bonus symbols page.
"Cash Collector rewards patience with the reels rather than any particular strategy — the Collect symbol either lands on a given spin or it doesn't, and no amount of reading the paytable changes that."
Cash Collector suits players who like the idea of stacking multiple small values into one payout rather than chasing a single big symbol match. Before choosing a title, check its RTP, volatility and whether the feature can trigger in the base game or only inside a bonus round, since those details shape how the mechanic actually plays out across a session.

Update history
Cash Collector is a bonus mechanic where prize icons on the reels carry fixed credit values, and a separate Collect symbol gathers whatever prizes land on the same spin. Uncollected prize icons do not carry over to the next spin.
It depends on the specific title. Some Cash Collector slots let the feature trigger during ordinary base-game spins, while others reserve it for a dedicated bonus round, so checking the game's rules is worth doing before playing.
RTP is the theoretical long-term payback percentage published for a slot, and it always adds up to 100% with the house edge — a 96.5% RTP slot carries a 3.5% house edge. It describes results over a large number of spins, not any single session.
Neither is objectively better; it depends on preference. High volatility Cash Collector slots can produce larger but less frequent payout swings when the feature lands, while low volatility versions tend to pay smaller amounts more often for a steadier pace.
The Cash Collector titles listed here, including Wild Wild Riches and Reel Banks, run on Pragmatic Play's game engine.
