Pillars of Cash Guide

Game Features & Mechanics

The game revolves around five persistent prize pillars, one for each reel. Each pillar has a different maximum height (reels 1 and 5 are the shortest, reel 3 is the tallest).

Building Pillars & Value: When a Coin symbol lands on a reel, it does two things:

1. It adds its credit value to the prize pool on the pillar directly above it.
2. It has a random chance to cause that pillar to rise one level higher.

The "Gold Dragon" Win State: When a pillar successfully reaches its maximum height, the dragon behind it turns gold. This indicates the pillar is in a "one-away" win state. To win the prize, you must land another coin on that reel. This gives you a chance to be awarded the full, accumulated prize value on the pillar.

The Reset Mechanic (Pillar Drops): This is the game's high-variance "chase" mechanic.

• Each pillar has a 3-spin timer (three green dots) that is active at its current height.
• Landing a coin on that reel resets its timer back to 3.
• If you fail to land a coin on that reel for 3 consecutive spins (all dots go dark), the pillar will drop down one level on the next non-coin spin.
• If the pillar drops all the way to the bottom, the accumulated prize value on it is reset to zero.
