natural trigger · 35 in 10,000 spinsNatural free spins: USD 146.40 in eight spins, then the USD 194 Super Respin pot forfeited on reel five. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.
Across the whole run the 35 natural bonuses split into 7 under 20x, 17 between 20x and 50x, 5 between 50x and 100x and 6 at 100x or more, and together they made up 20% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 1 to 1,341 spins. Payout figures here are FS-only, in ordinary stakes; the trigger payout is excluded.
A retrigger is three Bonus symbols landing during the feature, adding eight spins; none occurred in the 35 features of this journal, so the share shown is zero.

How it plays
7 rules screens from the game
Cash Patrol runs 25 lines on a 5x3 layout, paid along adjacent reels beginning with reel one. The vintage car is the top regular symbol at USD 64 for five at the USD 2 stake, the cash bundle pays USD 14, the police cap USD 12, the handcuffs USD 10, and A, K, Q and J USD 8 each. The Wild badge appears from reel two onward and covers everything except the Bonus, Money and Collect symbols.
The robber is the Money symbol on reels one to four, carrying 1x to 35x the bet, and five police Collect symbols live on reel five only: plain Collect pays every value on screen, Extra Credit adds 1x to 10x to each Money symbol first, Multiplier Collect multiplies them by 2x to 25x, Expanding Collect fills every reel that holds a Money symbol, and Respin Collect locks the values and respins the rest. This Money Collect feature works in the base game as well as in free spins.
Three red-siren Bonus symbols on the middle reels pay 1x the bet and start eight free spins, and a second set of three inside the feature adds another eight with no cap. Every Money value that lands during the feature is also added to a bonus pot, and when the spins run out the pot comes back as a giant Money symbol across reels one to four for one final respin: a Collect on reel five pays the pot, anything else forfeits it.
Nothing can be bought here. Declared RTP is 96.5%, the info page rates the volatility medium, and stakes range from USD 0.25 to USD 250.

Verdict
The pot rarely gets collectedCash Patrol returned 99.18% against the declared 96.5%, an approximate 95% CI of 87.4% to 111.0% around the mean. It is a frequent-hit game: 41.24% of spins paid something, the median paying spin gave 0.4x, and the lowest point of the balance was 317 bets under the start at round 1898. Free spins were rare at 35 in the series, one per 286 spins, and they supplied 19.9% of all payouts at 56.4x on average.
Money Collect, not the paylines, is the base game: 270 collects paid USD 7,892, 49.9% of everything the base game returned, and the largest base win of the run, 105x at round 4598, was a 5x Multiplier Collect over three robbers. Plain Collect landed 218 times, Extra Credit 37 and Multiplier 15, while Expanding and Respin Collect never appeared in 10,000 base spins.
The bonus pot is the feature's promise and mostly its disappointment. Every feature ran exactly eight spins, none retriggered, and the pot averaged USD 160 (80x); it was paid in 7 features out of 35, and those seven averaged 118.6x while the other 28 averaged 40.8x. The unpaid pots added up to USD 4,518, more than the USD 3,946 the 35 features actually paid, and the largest of them, USD 304 at round 4116, walked away with the feature closing at 39.4x.
- 41.24% hit rate, a paying spin every 2.4 spins on average
- Money Collect runs in the base game: 270 collects, 49.9% of base payouts
- Measured 99.18% RTP on the series against 96.5% declared
- Free spins retrigger without a cap on paper, though none landed in this run
- One feature per 286 spins on average, 35 in the series, all of them eight spins long
- The bonus pot was paid in 7 of 35 features; USD 4,518 of pots went unpaid
- Purchase absent, so a trigger costs about USD 571 in turnover at USD 2
- Expanding Collect and Respin Collect never showed in the base game
