Little Green Money Slot – Free Demo

Cows, saucers and a build from 2012

Little Green Money is not a recent slot, and it was launched back on June 15, 2012. Habanero put out Space Fortune the same day, another 25-line game. It has been resting in Habanero's library ever since.

Those of you who have tried it already might not be too thrilled over another glance at Little Green Money, and I can state right away that it's an exceedingly basic slot.

My first reaction was a bit mixed when I started up the slot. The visual appearance seemed a bit dated and drab, almost like something a studio would have made back in 2012, which it was. A Minor Jackpot meter sits over the reel set, and on my first spin it read 109.29. Admittedly the styling of the reel set instilled some hope of the chance that I would get to encounter inventive new features, but how mistaken I was.

Little Green Money is a sci-fi slot with an alien theme, and the tale unfolds among flying saucers and little green men, with the UFO floating over the reel set. A line of text above the reels reads 3 Triggers Feature. It has an arrangement of 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed pay lines, and it is a medium variance slot, rated 3 out of 5, with a middling 96.00% RTP. I started with 2,000.00 and put 19,500.00 through the game in total. Over 390 spins at a stake of 50.00 I got 108 paying spins, 28% of the total. The longest stretch without a win at all was 11 spins, ending on spin 308. 64 of those returned less than the stake. Everything I won across the run came to 18,055.00.

20,000 coins for five ray guns

Examining the paytable, I see the upper end of it climbs up to 20,000 coins at bet per line. Those numbers are coin values, not multiples of the total stake. You receive that for five UFOs or five ray guns. On my opening spin, played at 50.00 with 1,950.00 left on the balance, a UFO landed on reel 1 and another on reel 3, with a single Slime on reel 2 and a single Planet on reel 4. Wins are paid from the left, except for the scattered UFO and Slime, which pay from anywhere, and only the largest win on each line is paid. Line wins are multiplied by the bet per line, while scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet and added on top.

The wild symbol shows up as the UFO, and it plays a very pivotal role as you will see. It counts as a scatter too, so it pays from anywhere on the reels. It substitutes for everything except the Slime scatter. The expansion happens before the pays are awarded. It expands to cover its entire reel whenever it lands in a winning combination, and in terms of features and gameplay, there's not much happening in the main game. Wins on different lines are added together. You spin the reels and hope for a respectable hit or the triggering of one of the free games rounds.

Slime for five games, Planet for eight

There are two bonuses to be discovered in this slot, and three or more Slime anywhere in the base game grants you 5 free games. That was the round I saw last, on spin 271, and it paid 1,700.00, or 34 times the stake. During those, the UFO covers an entire reel throughout, starting on reel 5 and shifting one reel left each spin, and all prizes are doubled. My five triggers arrived on spins 32, 60, 128, 141 and 271. Three or more Planet anywhere awards you 8 free games with all prizes quadrupled, no Slime symbol during the round, and the chance of a retrigger, and free games are played at the lines and bet of the triggering spin. None of my five rounds retriggered.

There is also a progressive jackpot. It can be won at random at the end of any spin and is added to whatever else you won. The balance peaked at 6,265.00. My best round was the 8 free games on spin 141, which paid 3,500.00, or 70 times the stake. Next after that was spin 128 at 2,050.00, or 41 times the stake.

Our Minty Verdict: Five bonus rounds across 390 spins carried 9,300.00 of the 18,055.00 I won, and the base game handed back the rest in pieces smaller than the stake more often than not. Take the two scatters away and what is left is a 2012 five-reeler with an expanding wild. It ended at 92.6%.

How 390 spins at 50 finished

As already noted, Little Green Money has been out for some time. Hardly shocking, it failed to make any noise. The largest win I had without a bonus attached was 1,000.00 on spin 53, twenty times the stake. It does somewhat remind me of Starburst in regard to the plain gameplay and arrangement of the reels, although a very different theme. The 555.00 I walked away with was also the lowest the balance got.

It's conceivable that some players will get something out of it. Four of my five triggers came inside the first 141 spins. My five bonus rounds paid 9,300.00 between them, 52% of everything I won. The gap between the fourth trigger and the fifth ran 130 spins. The session still finished at a 92.6% return, from 2,000.00 down to 555.00. Ultimately it's a far cry from what's sought after these days which is explosive, high variance, mega potential slots.
