Reception

Touch Arcade gave the game 4/5 and wrote "King Cashing certainly isn't for everyone, particularly if you're not a fan of RPGs or the slot-machine mechanic. However, for anyone that's remotely interested, you owe it to yourself to check it out."{{cite web|url=http://toucharcade.com/2011/10/14/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review/|title='King Cashing: Slots Adventure' Review – A Slot-machine RPG That Hits The Jackpot|author=|date=14 October 2011|publisher=|accessdate=29 November 2016|archive-date=29 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129150621/http://toucharcade.com/2011/10/14/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review/|url-status=live}} Gamezebo rated the game 3.5 stars, commenting "At its core, there is not a whole lot on offer gameplay-wise. You're essentially playing slots over top of some basic RPG elements. That being said, there are much {{sic|worst}} things to spend your money on. If you're looking for a unique way to waste a couple minutes at a time, King Cashing will do just fine."{{cite web|url=http://www.gamezebo.com/2011/10/20/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review/|title=King Cashing: Slots Adventure Review|first=Art|last=Green|date=20 October 2011|publisher=Gamezebo|accessdate=29 November 2016|archive-date=29 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129210137/http://www.gamezebo.com/2011/10/20/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review/|url-status=live}} TouchGen gave the game 70%, writing "King Cashing is a great way to spend time, and it can be really exciting at the end of battles. At times the fact that it is a slot machine shines through, and then it feels all random and no skill."{{cite web|url=http://www.touchgen.net/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review|title=TouchGen: iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Game Reviews – Latest iPhone, iPad, iPod and PS VITA Game Reviews and News at TouchGen.net|author=|date=|publisher=|accessdate=29 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130605172656/http://www.touchgen.net/king-cashing-slots-adventure-review|archive-date=5 June 2013|url-status=dead}}

TouchGen wrote "King Cashing 2 improves on the original in ways I couldn’t even imagine, and takes the formula into a completely new realm. This is the kind of game that you can play for hours without knowing it, or just as well play for five minutes on the bus. No matter how, and when you play it you will have a great time.

Gamezebo wrote "This is a sequel that improves upon its predecessor in multiple ways, and it's hard to ask for or expect more than that. With its strangely compelling mix of skill, luck and strategy, King Cashing 2 is a second trip worth taking. Dare we hope it becomes a trilogy?
