Rules: how Cash Elevator works
Cash Elevator has 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines. Wins need at least three matching symbols on a line, counted from left to right from the first reel; only the highest win per line is paid.
The return to player (RTP) of the standard version is 96.64%. That is an average over a very large number of spins, not a promise for a single session. Casinos may run versions with a lower RTP; the in-game info menu shows the value that applies.
The maximum win is capped at 20,000x your stake. At €1 per spin that would be €20,000; if a bonus reaches the cap, the round ends automatically.
Free spins, features and bonus round
The game starts on the first floor and travels through 13 levels. From the second floor on, each level removes the lowest symbol until only high-value ones are left. Two 1x3 wilds representing the couple trigger the Dead Lovers feature with up to 24 free spins; every win with the floor's lowest symbol brings the two one reel closer together.
Scatter symbols trigger the free spins. How many scatters you need and how many spins you get is shown in the paytable; in most games of this kind the free spins can be retriggered during the bonus.
Money symbols carry fixed values as multiples of your stake. They only pay out when a collector symbol lands on the grid and picks them up.
In the hold-and-spin feature, money or bonus symbols stay in place while the other positions respin. Every new symbol resets the respin counter, usually to three.

Cash Elevator with the BlazeBet bonus: wagering and a worked example
At BlazeBet, slots count 100% towards the welcome bonus wagering (100% up to €1,000, 15x wagering, 30 days). Cash Elevator is therefore suitable for clearing the bonus.
A worked example with real numbers: with a €100 bonus and 15x wagering on the bonus, you need to wager €1,500. At €0.50 per spin, that is 3,000 spins. With an RTP of 96.64%, the theoretical loss over that stretch is about €50.40. If BlazeBet counts deposit plus bonus, the total wager and the expected loss double.
With very high volatility, the balance can run out before the free spins arrive. A smaller stake per spin stretches the budget over more rounds.
Volatility, hit rate and budget
According to published game data, about 14.08% of spins end in a win, so on average every 7.1th spin. Many of those hits are smaller than the stake, though.
As a rough rule of thumb for a game with very high volatility: plan a budget for about 400 spins, which at €0.50 per spin is €200. That gives you a reasonable chance of seeing the bonus round. Set a limit and a time frame beforehand, and do not raise your stake to chase losses.
One of Pragmatic Play's most original mechanics, with 96.64% RTP and very high volatility.
