On September 3, 2024, Slotmill launched Coins and Cannons. The slot theme is based on the darker side of pirates. 

This review will reveal the game setup and bonus features.

Game Setup

When you open the slot, you will notice 6 reels and 6 rows. Winning combinations occur as cluster pays at an RTP of 96.08%.

The other RTP is 94.04%.

To get going, you must place a minimum bet of 0.20 or a maximum bet of 50 for a shot at the maximum win. The maximum win is 15000x, and it is played at a high volatility.

The symbols that form combinations are diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades, blue gems, green gems, red gems, purple gems, and a pirate’s skull. 

Landing 5 matching symbols rewards 0.2x to 1.2x, while landing 14+ rewards 6x to 100x. You may also land wilds, which replace all symbols except scatters. 

Additionally, when wilds replace coins, they have a value of 0x. 

Bonus Features 

Avalanche

Winning symbols and non-winning symbols similar to winning symbols pop off the reels. Once the symbols pop off, there is room for other symbols to avalanche down and fill the empty spots.

The feature continues until there are no more winning combinations. 

However, before the tumble, a wild symbol is added to one of the empty spaces.

Coin Clusters

When a winning cluster of 5 or more forms occurs, multipliers ranging from 1x to 40x land on Coin symbols, awarding their values. Upon awarding the win, the cluster bursts, revealing a new coin with the total win value of the coin cluster on a vacant spot.

Bet Multiplier

When no more wins occur, the multiplier cannon symbol appears with a value from 2x to 100x added and applied to the payout.

Free Spins and Super Free Spins

Landing 3 scatters awards 10 free spins in the base game, where coin symbols remain at the bottom of the grid until the round ends. Landing a 1+ symbol awards an extra free spin. 

When you land 2 scatters with 1 Super Free Spins scatter, you receive 10 Super Free Spins, which guarantees a multiplier cannon symbol lands on each spin. 

Fast Track

If you want to head straight to certain rounds, you can buy your way there by placing 40x the bet for the multiplier cannon, 100x the bet for free spins, and 500x the bet for super free spins. 

Verdict 

Coins and Cannons stands out for its avalanche feature and Free Spins round, where the Coin symbol remains on the grid to form cluster wins. Best of all, you can skip to the fun game rounds by buying your way there with Fast Track.
