Not in the sense of a sequel or a reel-structure remake. Skywind built Cash Mine with three selectable RTP settings — 96.5%, 94.5%, and 89.5% — and operators pick one to run. The game itself, the 5x3 grid, the 10 paylines, the expanding Wild, and the Money-Collect free spins stay identical across all three.

  • No Megaways or cluster-pays edition exists for this title
  • The three RTP codes are internal (sw_cm_965, sw_cm_945, sw_cm_895), not separate game names
  • Bet ranges and hit frequency shift slightly between settings, but the mechanics don't

What actually changes between the settings

When people search for Cash Mine variants, they're usually picturing something like a Megaways remake or a stripped-down mobile edition. That's not what happened here. What Skywind released is one game with three RTP dials, and it's up to the operator hosting it to decide which dial gets used.

The difference between 96.5% and 89.5% isn't cosmetic. Over enough spins, the lower setting returns noticeably less to players, even though the reels, symbols, and bonus structure look exactly the same on screen. The official hit-frequency table backs this up: roughly 1 in 6.26 spins hits something at 96.5%, and a near-identical rate at 89.5% — so the difference isn't in how often you win, it's in how much comes back over time.

This is common practice across the industry, but Cash Mine makes it worth mentioning because the spread between the highest and lowest configuration is unusually wide — a full seven percentage points. That's a bigger gap than most slots offer, and it means the casino you pick can matter more than usual for this particular title.

There isn't a documented way to force a specific RTP setting as a player. The choice sits with the operator, and most casinos don't advertise which of the three they've loaded. Some review sites list one number, others list another, and that inconsistency traces back to genuinely different builds running at different sites — not to sloppy reporting.

What stays the same across every setting

  • 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, unchanged in every RTP configuration
  • Expanding Wild (minecart symbol) that fills an entire reel when it lands
  • Money-Collect system: cash-diamond symbols paired with a Collect miner symbol
  • Free Games triggered by 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, starting at 8 spins
  • Level-based free spins progression that can add extra spin sets and multipliers
  • Same 5,000x total-bet cap regardless of which RTP version is running

Terms worth knowing before you check a casino's version

RTP configuration

One of three fixed payout settings (96.5%, 94.5%, 89.5%) that an operator selects when adding the game to their lobby.

Hit frequency

How often a spin returns any win at all, regardless of size; stays close to 1 in 6.26-6.29 across all three settings.

Collect symbol

The miner icon that gathers the value of Money symbols on screen and, during free spins, advances a progression bar.

Double Chance

An optional extra-cost mode that raises the odds of triggering Free Games on any given spin.

How Cash Mine's variant setup compares

Typical mining-themed slots

Most rely on plain scatters and one fixed RTP; Cash Mine's three-tier RTP spread and layered Collect bonus set it apart.

Megaways-style remakes (general market)

Cash Mine has no Megaways or cluster-pays edition — the reel structure never changes, only the payout setting.

Other Skywind bonus-driven slots

The gathered sources don't document another Skywind title with the same expanding-Wild-plus-Collect combination as a formal sibling release.

How to check which RTP version a casino runs

  1. Open the game's info or paytable screen inside the casino lobby, not the promotional page
  2. Look for an RTP percentage listed directly on that paytable screen
  3. If no number appears there, check the casino's dedicated game description page for Cash Mine
  4. Compare that figure against the three known Skywind settings: 96.5%, 94.5%, 89.5%
  5. If the site lists a number outside that range, treat it as unconfirmed rather than a fourth variant
  6. Contact the casino's support chat directly if the RTP still isn't clear before you deposit
  7. Repeat this check on any second casino before assuming both run the same setting

Questions about Cash Mine's versions

Does the demo version use the same RTP as real-money play?

Demo builds typically mirror one of the same three official settings, but the specific one loaded isn't always disclosed on the demo page itself, so check the paytable there too.

Why do two casinos list different RTP numbers for Cash Mine?

Because they're genuinely running different official configurations — 96.5%, 94.5%, or 89.5% — not because one source is wrong.

Does the max win change between RTP settings?

No. The 5,000x total-bet cap is documented the same across configurations; only the long-term payout percentage and hit rate shift slightly.

Is there a higher-volatility or lower-volatility edition of Cash Mine?

No separate volatility edition exists; the official sheet rates the game 5/5 high volatility regardless of which RTP setting is active.
