Coils of Cash Slots
Coils of Cash isn’t the most descriptive name in the world, but this game promises to be electrifying. Describing this game is a challenge because while there are defining features, the art style is unconventional. There is nothing wrong with this game; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. However, the mystery around Coils of Cash’s giant electric coils will remain unsettled before it ultimately wins you over with its complete package. This game isn’t anything like you’d probably expect, which is all part of what makes it so intriguing.
What Decade Is It?
The theme seems to be intentionally mysterious, with an Art Deco style that makes it difficult to pin down the era in which this game is supposed to take place. It has massive industrial coils in the background, but these coils don’t tell the whole story by themselves. The developers could have been leaning toward a steampunk theme, or they may have just wanted it to be a 1950s-style game. Maybe it's not as mysterious as it seems, and it's simply meant to take place at a modern-day power grid. No matter the reasoning behind the theme, the artistic style makes even familiar symbols seem out of place.
The good news is this game uses the traditional playing card symbols slot players are familiar with. However, the pool balls with each value portrayed by tube lights make these symbols nearly unrecognizable. Other symbols include a TV, volt meter, camera, and cylinder—all of which you would probably not recognize without an explanation. It is not a quality issue that makes the symbols hard to decipher, but an artistic one, with this same art style turning everyday objects like a TV into a questionable shape.
It’s rare that music can overtake the artistic vision to become the best part of a slot game, but this may be one of those rare moments. The synthpop tune could be a stand-alone hit, and you will find yourself unconsciously bobbing your head and tapping your feet while you play. The sound effects are equally enjoyable, with an industrial-sounding shift every time you spin and tiny clicks and clacks as the symbols land on and fall off each reel.
The Gameplay Will Electrify You
Coils of Cash uses cascading reel mechanics, so instead of fixed symbols spinning on a reel, winning symbols fall off the board, existing symbols shift down to take their place, and new symbols fall from the top. Despite this refreshing take on spinning dynamics, nothing fundamentally changes about the gameplay. This game is comprised of six rows with three reels each and a shortened fourth reel that comes into play with the bonus features.
The shortened top reel is used for multipliers in combination with the cascading reel system. When you hit winning lines that have symbols that match the multiplier box symbols, your payout for the entire line will be increased by the multiplier amount. Every time you hit a winning line, the multipliers increase until they all reach a five times multiplier. Although rare, there are some scenarios where accumulating multipliers can lead to a 625x pay line.
The symbol you really want to see on your board is the blue orb scatter symbol. This coveted symbol can lead to mind-blowing payouts that you’ve likely never seen. When you land anywhere from three to six orbs in a single spin, you unlock between ten and twenty-five free spins. When the free spins feature activates, your multiplier boxes lock into place, setting up the potential for major payouts, but it gets even better. Each orb you land during the free spins adds two more free spins, so the free spins round can continue indefinitely and lead to serious profit.
A Delightful Experience
Coils of Cash may not be what many people think of when they think of slots, but that is part of the allure. It offers a distinctive theme that makes this game exciting to play, and it is even fun to listen to, which makes it the total package. It’s not uncommon to get a beautiful theme with bad gameplay or an ugly theme with great gameplay, but getting a beautiful theme with fantastic gameplay like this one is like finding a unicorn. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what decade this game is set in because you’re going to love it no matter what.
