Imagine a volcano erupting but instead of spewing lava, it spews coins. That’s the experience you’ll get launching a session of the online slot, Coin Volcano in our casino. This 3-reel game offers a unique spin on the traditional slot experience. The goal is to reach either one of the game’s two bonus games in order to trigger that eruption—and it’s quite the display.
The coin eruption comes from a special feature called the Volcano Multipliers. Watch as the volcano beside the reels erupts and, along with falling lava, multipliers rain down on the reels, setting some cells on fire. This only happens in the bonus rounds, however, so knowing how to reach them is critical.
This Coin Volcano slot review covers everything you need to know to play the game instantly.
After we explain how the game works and what to expect out of the bonus features, we’ll
shift gears and go over the sign-up process at Bodog. With an account registered here you can access all of the casino games and betting platforms with real money—even when you deposit with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
We close off the article with a reminder about why Bitcoin is better than the other transaction options that we offer here. It’s the key to seamless online casino gaming and the ticket to big bonus money.
Gameplay & Design
A Hold and Win slot by 3 Oaks, Coin Volcano is not a typical slot. You’re not looking to line up matching symbols on paylines in order to win. The goal is to reach the Bonus Game or the Ultra Bonus Game because that’s where the money is.
During the base game, symbols spin around three reels, but they don’t lead to payouts. You’ll see things like Gold Coins displaying various denominations, jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand), Mystery symbols and Lava Pits. All of these send coins into the volcano when they land on the reels during the base game.
The central row is highlighted in red to make it easy to watch for three symbols land within it. This is the ticket to the bonus games, and there are two: the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game. We’ll cover these features in the Bonus section.
Bets range from $0.10 to $50 per spin, making Coin Volcano accessible to all players. Keep in mind, if you trigger the bonus, it’s played at the same stake that triggered it.
You can expect a nice balance between payout size and frequency in this medium variance slot. The Return to Player (RTP) is a healthy 95.66%, making it good value for the entertainment provided. You can test it free of charge using Practice Play mode and watch for the features listed in the next section.
Key Features
Sticky Coin
The Sticky Coin is a gold-rimmed coin with a red centre that has a multiplier (5X-9X). When one lands, it stays in place until you trigger the bonus game, making it a valuable bonus feature. Cross your fingers that it lands on the middle row because it will boost your chances of triggering the bonus game.
Coin Prizes
During the bonus rounds, coins that land on the reels award payouts between 1X and 4X when combined with a Coin Collect symbol.
Coin Collect
A swirling pit of lava is a Coin Collect symbol that’s active during the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game. This instantly collects the value of each coin on the reels and sends it your way. And it stays in place for the remainder of the Bonus Game/Ultra Bonus Game.
Mystery Symbol
The mystery symbol has transformative powers and can turn into any other game symbols except the Sticky Coin. But it only transforms when you’re in the Bonus and Ultra Bonus games.
Mystery Jackpot Symbol
The Mystery Jackpot Symbol will take the form of any of the game’s three jackpots: Mini, Minor and Major. Again, it only transforms in the Bonus and Ultra Bonus games.
Jackpots
As you’ll see upon launch, Coin Volcano has four jackpots: Mini (10X), Minor (20X), Major (50X) and Grand (500X). They can be accessed only in the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game.
Grand Jackpot
The Grand Jackpot offers a massive 500X prize and can be reached in the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game if you end up with all nine symbols on the grid matching—and it can be any symbol.
Bonus Rounds
Bonus Game
Enjoy a round of three free spins when you trigger the game’s bonus round. This enables you to nab some payouts without incurring any cost.
You’ll be brought to another screen with another 3X3 grid and four jackpots for the three re-spins. All bonus symbols are sticky in this Hold and Win bonus round, making it easy to rack up wins. Every time they land, they re-set the re-spin tally to three and stay in place for the rest of the round.
During the bonus game, you may experience the Volcano Multipliers feature where the volcano erupts with multipliers. Between one and nine unique multipliers shoot from the volcano to the reels. When several hit the same spot, the multiplier value for that cell increases. At the end of the bonus game, you collect all of the multiplier prizes.
You can trigger the bonus game by paying 30X your bet using the “Buy Bonus” button, or by landing three symbols in the middle row of the reels in the base game.
Ultra Bonus Game
An extra bonus game, called the Ultra Bonus Game, is included and can be triggered at random while in the base game or by using the “Buy Bonus” button beside the reels for 75X your stake. This game is superior to the regular Bonus Game because it starts with the Volcano Multipliers feature and has more multipliers included. The Volcano Multipliers feature could even be re-triggered during the bonus session, boosting your odds of reaching the Grand Jackpot.
