The Power Coil lies horizontally above six vertical reels, and each of its positions climbs a step whenever the reel beneath it joins a winning cascade. Four of them sitting at x5 compound to x625 on one combination. In the base game they drop back the moment a cascade run dries up; inside free…
Coils of Cash was launched on 7 January 2021. The Dynamic Payways engine gives it 2,304 payways. If there is one studio discovering its rhythm, it's the Dynamic Payways series from established creator Play'n GO, and the game employs one of the less mainstream themes so far, being a sci-fi theme. Wins need three to six matching symbols on adjacent reels and are read from the leftmost reel rightwards. As the name makes note, I'm off to a world of current and circuitry. I played 440 spins at a stake of 20.00, starting from a balance of 25,000.00. There we get some electrically themed activity alongside a horizontal reel, cascades, multipliers and free spins. Only the highest winning combination per symbol counts on any one drop.
When you go sci-fi, it's usual to go chilly, which Play'n GO has most certainly done, and the symbols on the reels are as technical as you could want them, with a Volt Meter, a Cylinder, a Camera and a TV threaded around the grid. Coils of Cash's score is just as electric. Five rounds of free spins opened up in my session, on spins 10, 70, 169, 313 and 358. There are agreeable sound effects when cascades strike or wins tally up, and it grows broodier during free spins. Between the second of those rounds and the third I spun 99 times without a trigger. There the Power Coil multipliers cease resetting, and every component of Coils of Cash is heightened.
So far, Play'n GO has been about highly volatile math designs. My lowest balance of the run, 24,848.00, came just before the first free spins round landed. That is what I find here as well, chaining wins together and piling multipliers when it's firing.
Pivotal to the game is the cascade mechanism itself. Cascades keep repeating until a drop lands with no win on it. Whenever a combination arrives, the winning symbols are cleared and replaced by fresh ones, so more wins may happen, and this extends across a grid of six vertical reels with one horizontal reel, the Power Coil, perched above them. Four multiplier positions can apply to a single winning combination at once. Symbols on that horizontal reel can bear a multiplier. Each position's multiplier climbs by 1 every time its vertical reel participates in a winning cascade, up to x5, and several multipliers on one win are multiplied together, attaining as high as x625, as you'd anticipate. On spin 200 I had x4, x2, x4 and x2 sitting on the coil together in the base game, for a win of 296.00. Bear in mind that the Power Coil symbol must be part of the win for its multiplier to register. That x625 figure needs all four positions at x5 in the same win. In the base game, the multipliers reset when the cascade run concludes.
Machinery fills the paytable, comprising the four high pay symbols, worth 0.50 to 5 times the stake for six of a kind, and the most prized symbol is the TV, which is worth 5x the bet for six of a kind. Three TVs pay 1x the stake, so the weight of the paytable sits in the six-symbol combinations. Completing the bottom of the paytable are 9-A card symbols, and there is a wild. The best the card ranks manage is 1x the stake, for six of an A, K or Q. It shows only on the Power Coil, substituting for everything except the Scatter.
Striking 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters on the reels grants 10, 15, 20 or 25 free spins, and each Scatter arriving during the feature contributes 2 further spins to the total. Mine started on 4 or 6 Scatters, the largest being spin 70, where 6 Scatters gave 25 spins and a Scatter inside the round took it to 27.
A couple of alterations happen in the bonus. The round runs until the spins are used up, and only further Scatters extend it. A principal one is that the multipliers retained on the triggering spin carry into the feature, and also, the Power Coil does not reset between spins. That spin 70 round was the only one of my five to land a Scatter once it was already running. Instead, whatever each position has risen to is retained until the round finishes. It ran 27 spins and returned 389.0x the stake. So the x5 caps reached early remain for the rest of the feature.
The Minty Summary: Its free spins are where the Power Coil truly shines in conjunction with multipliers which carry over from spin to spin. Mine accounted for 19,800.00 credits, or 89% of everything won, the best of them 7,900.00 credits from 15 spins on spin 10.
The game did pay, although I saw nothing near its max win in 440 spins: 8,800.00 credits wagered yielded 22,264.00, a session return of 253.0%, with a high balance of 40,004.00 credits on spin 70. That peak came out of the 7,780.00 the spin 70 round paid, the second largest win of the session.
Nevertheless, Coils of Cash has a respectable rhythm, delivering wins at a pace that makes it simple to stay engaged. The gaps between my five rounds ran 60, 99, 144 and 45 spins. Only 83 of my 440 spins paid anything, though, and 41 of those paid less than the stake, with one barren stretch of 22 spins. That stretch ended on spin 164. The other motivation to keep spinning is a bonus game which can go berserk when the multipliers stack up, and Coils of Cash's bonus game is one of the less intricate ones around, though all the better for it. The multipliers only fall away once the round is over. The three smaller rounds returned 2,080.00, 1,240.00 and 800.00. That round and the one on spin 70 made up most of the 19,800.00 between them. When several coils are growing together, it's capable of transforming even low pay wins into something remarkable each time, and then there's enormous potential of 30,000 times the stake up for grabs, reported as reachable in the free spins. Play'n GO's own game page states no win cap at all.
All up, Coils of Cash might be a little chilly for some.
