Plan your bets
By the end you will have walked through one full round, from bet to session limit.
You pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$240 before any spin. Each bet level keeps its own Jewel Board, so changing the bet resets the board.
A win starts on reel 1 and runs right across adjacent reels. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and the base game has 432 ways to win.
The Jewel Board sits above reels 2 to 4. BUTTERFLY on reels 1 and 5, plus a CONGO CASH symbol on reels 2, 3 or 4, collects up to three jewels.
One blue FREE GAMES jewel starts the round, with free games from all jewels on that spin added together. A WILD is guaranteed on the jewel's reel in every free spin.
Set your total spend before the first spin, since the bet sets the cost of each spin. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Account rules
Live Casino shows the practice and real versions side by side, so you choose with clear facts.
Pick the demo to try the reels with no money, since it pays nothing at all. Real play needs a Live Casino account and the legal age, 18+.
Play nowDecide how much you are willing to lose before the first spin, because nobody can tell you when the Free Games round will arrive. Its timing is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the return figure says over a very large number of spins. A short session can end far above or far below the amount you started with.
Open the game rules before your first bet, because only they state which RTP version is running for Congo Cash. Compare that version with the figure in the table on this page before you stake real money. A version that differs from the one you expected changes the return you can expect over time.
Read the maximum win as a ceiling, not an expectation, before you set your bet. Congo Cash can reach it only in rare cases, and no one can tell in advance whether a session will come close. Treat the top figure as the limit of the game, not a likely outcome.

Take a break when Congo Cash stops being fun, and walk away if you feel you cannot stop.
Congo Cash facts
Useful when you want the figures and features before placing your first bet.
Before you bet, know that Congo Cash has one RTP version, 96.51 percent. The RTP is the return the game pays back over a very large number of spins, measured on A$100 staked. A single session can finish well above or below that figure.
Collect at least one blue FREE GAMES jewel to start free games. The butterfly has to land on reel 1 and reel 5 together with a CONGO CASH symbol on reels 2, 3 or 4 in the same spin. Each blue jewel is worth 8 to 100 spins.
Pick Congo Cash knowing it has high volatility. Wins tend to be less frequent but can be bigger, so your balance may swing sharply in both directions. How often the bonus comes cannot be known in advance.
Start at A$0.20 or go up to A$240 per spin. A$240 is the highest bet allowed here. Set your stake before the first spin so it fits the budget you have set.
Read the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. It is 2,200 times the bet, which is A$2,200 at the example bet of A$1 and A$528,000 at the highest bet of A$240.
