Whales of Cash is an Aristocrat cabinet still tracked on real casino and cruise-ship floors, not just an online port. Whale wild symbols land only on reels 2 and 4, doubling wins (up to 16x combined when two whale-completed wins land together), while a money-bag scatter triggers 10, 15, or 25 free games.

Manufacturer: Aristocrat (branded Aristocrat Gaming; corporate entity Aristocrat Technologies, Inc., parent Aristocrat Leisure Limited of Australia) -- consistently credited as manufacturer across the official Aristocrat product page, URComped's physical-cabinet locator, and multiple slot-machine resellers
Release: unknown exact year -- not confirmed via a manufacturer press release or regulatory approval filing. Aristocrat's own press release, published Jan 14, 2020 (dateline 'London, 13th January 2020') ahead of the February 2020 ICE London show, describes 'Whales of Cash' as one of 'three Aristocrat Classics' (alongside 5 Dragons and Pompeii) being 'turbo charged' into the new Rising Jackpots family -- meaning the original title predates 2020 by an unspecified margin. A reseller (ohioriverslots.com) lists the base cabinet as Aristocrat's Mark 6 platform, and a slot-collector forum thread documents the game software also being installed on the later Aristocrat MK7 USA platform, indicating a multi-generation production run -- but no source gives an exact original release date
Cabinet: Originally sold on Aristocrat's Mark 6 (MK6) cabinet platform with a 19-inch LCD screen (per ohioriverslots.com, 251 lbs unit weight). A slot-collector forum thread documents Aristocrat software for this title also being installed on the later Aristocrat MK7 USA platform, though that specific documented install attempt was reported as not working at the time of posting. Currently sold/serviced as a refurbished unit on Aristocrat's Viridian widescreen cabinet (per slotmachinesltd.com, listed at $1,895 with configurable bill acceptor, TITO or handpay, and printer options). Multi-denomination; one review (knowyourslots.com) notes a 25-credit minimum bet is needed to access all ways to win
RTP: unknown for the physical land-based cabinet -- Aristocrat does not publicly publish RTP for this class of casino-floor cabinet, and it is casino/jurisdiction-configurable. Online-adaptation review sites report divergent figures that describe different named variants rather than one authoritative physical-cabinet RTP: SlotCatalog lists 'Whales of Cash Deluxe' (a 2022-dated online listing) at 92% RTP, while SlotCinema lists 'Whales of Cash Rising Jackpots' at a 'low 93.00%' RTP. Because these are distinct branded variants (Deluxe, Rising Jackpots) rather than the base cabinet, no single figure is reported here
Mechanic: standard
Known quirks
A reviewer (SlotsJack) describes the cabinet's presentation as dated/understated relative to modern titles: 'If you're the type of player who enjoys over the top graphics and loud sounds, you may want to think twice about playing,' though the review adds that 'anything this game lacks is made up for by the high paying features and plenty of twists and turns.'
Whales of Cash is a confirmed, currently-tracked physical land-based/cruise-ship cabinet: URComped's slot-machine locator page for the base game shows it tagged by community members 46 times, with the most recent sighting logged aboard the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship on April 26.
The whale wild symbol appears only on reels 2 and 4, where it acts as a 2x multiplier wild -- rising to 4x each during the bonus round -- a useful visual-identification cue distinguishing the base game's paytable behavior from sequel variants.
Aristocrat sells a related but visually and mechanically distinct cabinet called 'Whales of Cash Legends,' which adds a 'Red Money Bag' trigger that expands the reel grid by an extra row and awards additional free games -- a different bonus structure from the base Whales of Cash profiled here. Whales of Cash Legends is tracked separately on URComped, most recently tagged aboard the Carnival Glory cruise ship on Oct 21 '25, with historical sightings at Spirit Lake Casino & Resort.
