Alchemy Gaming expands CASHINGO with Rumble Kong CASHINGO via Games Global

Alchemy Gaming launched Rumble Kong CASHINGO via Games Global, applying an expanded CASHINGO framework that combines traditional reels with a bingo-style grid, an interactive host character and persistent positional multipliers. Marcus Thorpe-Fairall, Creative Director at Alchemy Gaming, explained on Beyond the Reels how the studio adjusted symbols and mechanics to improve clarity and raise win potential.

How Rumble Kong CASHINGO integrates the CASHINGO mechanic

Rumble Kong CASHINGO keeps classic reels but adds a floating secondary play area. Cash symbols that land on the main reels transfer to a separate grid, where players form horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines to win. The studio visually differentiated symbols with green and yellow bananas; only yellow bananas act as cash symbols transferable to the grid.

"CASHINGO is an additional play area that fills with special cash symbols", said Marcus Thorpe-Fairall. "Separating the symbol types — green and yellow — allowed yellow bananas to be the cash symbols that transfer to the grid. I think that makes a lot of sense for the player."

Alchemy Gaming designed the colour separation to avoid confusion and keep the experience intuitive. The player clearly sees which symbols feed the grid and which belong to the main reel game.

Persistent positional multipliers and their impact on the free spins experience

The standard implementation of CASHINGO is usually limited to a collection game; Alchemy Gaming added persistent positional multipliers across the grid to raise win potential. Thorpe-Fairall emphasised that these multipliers transform the grid’s value and amplify the free spins experience each time they are triggered.

Multipliers accumulate on specific positions of the grid. When free spins are triggered, the system applies those multipliers when resolving completed lines, thereby boosting payouts linked to positions with higher accumulated value.

Kong’s active role and the Booster meter

The Kong character is not a static backdrop: he interacts with the reel action. Kong strikes piles of banana coins beneath him to throw additional cash symbols onto the reels while acting on the CASHINGO Booster meter.

Each non-paying scatter fills a banana meter, increasing a global multiplier in 10x increments up to a maximum of 200x. When free spins are triggered, Kong breaks the meter and randomly distributes those multipliers across up to 20 positions on the grid. A scatter trigger of 500x can likewise scatter high base values across the grid.

Special modes: Hot Mode and access

The game includes a state called "Hot Mode", which removes standard symbols to focus exclusively on banana collection. Hot Mode can be activated randomly or via a 24-hour timer. During this mode, Kong appears wearing sunglasses with heat effects that underline the focus on bananas.

"Hot Mode is a focused gameplay experience", Thorpe-Fairall noted. "We tuned attention on those bananas."

Hot Mode changes the title’s pacing by reducing reel complexity and maximising opportunities to feed the grid with cash symbols.

Visual design and player clarity

Alchemy Gaming prioritised visual clarity so the dual structure — reels plus grid — is understandable. The colour distinction between green and yellow bananas, the transfer animations and the Booster meter interface are designed to prevent elements from competing for the player’s attention.

Thorpe-Fairall explained the aim was to reduce cognitive friction: the player immediately understands which mechanism feeds the grid and how multipliers are activated, leaving collection dynamics and line resolution as the core of the experience.

The future of CASHINGO at Alchemy Gaming

Alchemy Gaming views CASHINGO as a strategic mechanic within its catalogue. Marcus Thorpe-Fairall said the studio plans to apply the mechanic to a flagship brand later in the year, without offering further details at this time.

"I can’t say much right now, other than we’re not finished with CASHINGO", Thorpe-Fairall said. "We plan to bring CASHINGO to one of our major brands later in the year; it will be a notable release."

Launch distribution is handled by [Games Global](/casino), which is rolling out Rumble Kong CASHINGO to its operator network.

Implications for operators and suppliers

For [operators and suppliers](/b2b), Rumble Kong CASHINGO offers a design package that combines familiar mechanics (bingo-style collection) with narrative engagement elements (an active host) and enhanced value metrics (positional multipliers and a Booster meter). Visual clarity and Hot Mode make the product easier to present in lobby and promotions, while positional multipliers provide material for campaigns centred on free-spin anticipation.

Alchemy Gaming maintains its positioning in mechanical experimentation; integrating CASHINGO with host elements and iterations on the grid is the studio’s differentiator. For tracking updates and commercial reception analysis, the piece sits within the release agenda of Alchemy Gaming and the catalogue of Rumble Kong CASHINGO distributed by Games Global.
