Coin Rush by Galaxsys – Review, Free Play in Demo Mode

You’ll be equipped with a shovel, a map, a helmet, and more serious gear like dynamite to visit the slot’s underground mine. The background looks like a cartoon rather than a casino game, especially considering its plain 3x3 layout. During winning combinations, you will see advanced animations and sound effects that enhance the entertainment aspect.

The main game doesn’t have outstanding extras, but you’ll have several ways to enter the bonus game connected with special coin values and jackpots.

Hold & Win Bonus Game

The Hold & Win mini-game is played with 3 initial respins and only coin or jackpot symbols. Each time any of them lands, the spins counter resets to 3 again. Galaxsys provided 3 ways to activate the round:

• Landing 3 Cube symbols in the base game.
• Charging the meter with coins.
• Choosing Bonus Buy options for 100x or 500x.

If you purchase the Super Bonus round for 500x, coins that appear on the grid are only golden. The game is over when you have no more spins or when the entire grid is filled, and everything that you’ve managed to collect on the grid will be paid then.

Row Multiplier

Once you’ve filled the row with coins in the bonus game, their values are collected with an initial 1x multiplier. Then the row is cleared, and the multiplier is doubled, so you can proceed with 2x, 4x, 8x, and so on. Thus, you get more free space to stay longer within the bonus round and increase the values paid by the coins.

Jackpots

The 4 crystals are connected with jackpots, landing only in the bonus game:

• Mini: Purple gem, 20x
• Medium: Blue gem, 50x
• Major: Green gem, 250x
• Mega: Red gem, 1,000x

Unlike coins, which each pay individually, jackpot symbols bring rewards when you land their required number. While the first 3 levels require 3 symbols, you’ll need to land 4 for Mega.

Wilds, Bonus Symbols and Payouts

The paytable has 6 regular and 8 bonus symbols. Though only a single special one lands in the base game, 7 others can appear during Hold & Win.

• Scatter: The cube lands anywhere in the base game, activating the bonus round when you get 3 Scatters at once.
• Coins: Bronze, silver, and gold coins are a part of the Hold & Win round. Their values are 1x to 4x, 5x to 9x, and 10x to 50x accordingly.
• Gems: The 4 gems can land only during the bonus game, bringing fixed jackpots of up to 1,000x.
• Payout symbols: They are connected with a mining theme, paying for 3 same symbols on 27 paylines. The pickaxe has the highest value of 10x.

The game’s RTP may vary, growing during Bonus Buy, while other parameters make it friendly for small and average bankrolls.

• RTP: The 96.07% standard score increases to 96.53% during the Buy Super Bonus mechanics.
• Bet size: You can start from the C$0.10 minimum stake, while its higher cap is C$40. It’s lower than the C$100 average, but it’s easier to combine it with 2 Bonus Buy options.
• Variance: The medium-high level explains the absence of extras like Wilds in the main game, yet a feature-rich Hold & Win round with a high 25,000x overall potential.

Low bets and medium-high volatility make the game more attractive for cautious Canadian players. Yet, it still has space for riskier steps like purchasing a bonus round with only golden coins, which increases the RTP to 96.53%. Its 25,000x potential is also a plus, though the fixed jackpot values have a rather small 1,000x.
