Cash Melon series: IGT's fruit format with expanding bonus machinery
The Cash Melon series is IGT's classic-fruit franchise, built on a 5x3 screen and a follow-up that adds more elaborate bonus machinery around familiar fruit symbols. Cash Melon slots retain wilds, scatters and free spins, but their payline counts, RTP profiles and feature density separate the original from the Combo version.

Cash Melon established the format in 2022 with 20 paylines, medium volatility and a 96.1% RTP. Mystery symbols and additional free spins supply the main variation without changing the 5x3 foundation. Its design remains close to a readable fruit slot, with the bonus layer supporting the base structure rather than replacing it.
Cash Melon Combo raises the line count to 25 and changes the feature hierarchy. Expanding reels, reel-set changes, a bonus wheel, random multipliers and fixed jackpots turn the follow-up into a more segmented bonus game, with a listed 2,000x maximum and 92.01% RTP. The fruit identity stays intact, but Combo trades the original's simpler mystery-symbol rhythm for more distinct events and jackpot targets.
