One of the creations from Cryptologic, Coin-U-Copia is a slot machine which doesn’t look too advanced, but whose theme might be good enough for most players, revolving around a cornucopia which offers lots of gold coins instead of a plentiful harvest of fruit. That part of the theme is mostly represented in one symbol though, the rest of the images used for the symbols being fruits that would’ve been part of many classic slot machines in the past.
Most things about this game don’t manage to stand out, and it starts right from the mix of 5 reels with 20 paylines, continues with the features (free spins, multipliers, wilds and scatter) and then it goes on to offer a prize of only $30,000 (3,000x).
Features of Coin-U-Copia
Playing this game will result in various types of features being accessed, with a bit of luck. There are wild symbols with 2x multipliers, scatter symbols which trigger free spins, and those have their own 3x multipliers to apply to wins.
The appearance of the wild symbol is reserved for only two reels, the 1st and the 5th ones, so don’t expect to get paid directly by this symbol since it can’t form its own combos. It will offer a very small prize of 2x the line bet for each wild that makes an appearance, but that’s it. On the other hand, as a wild it will apply 2x multipliers to the wins that are formed with its contribution, so you can expect double the usual prizes when it gets involved, something that is also possible where the top jackpot is concerned.
The slot’s scatter symbol is the tree filled with blossoms, and it’s going to reward you for any appearance of at least two such symbols on the reels, even if they’re not on the same payline. The payouts start at just the equivalent of the total bet, but they can go up to 200 times that value, if you have up to five of them.
Free Games Feature
While in other slots you get your free spins when 3+ scatters are present, in Coin-U-Copia you need the wild symbol to be present on both reels on which it is allowed (1 and 5). If that happens, you receive 15 free games and a 3x multiplier which applies to all the wins obtained along the way. It’s a feature which can be triggered again.
Betting options and jackpots
Your bets will go as high as $200, where the individual lines each get a single coin, but with a maximum value of $10. The smallest denomination available to you is at only $0.01, so you shouldn’t have a problem playing this game, even with a low budget.
The rewards that the paytable advertises will offer you 3,000 times the line wager, which in this case might mean $30,000, but it’s not that impressive of a return on your investment. Still, if you’re extraordinarily lucky, and a wild applies a 2x multiplier while the free spins apply one at 3x, you can win $180,000 from a combo with lemon symbols in it.
Design and symbols
It’s not going to be the kind of slot machine that you will just love because of how good the design is. The focus on fruit, and the design style which is somewhat dated, will insure that it’s not going to be anyone’s favorite, not if they played slot machines for long enough to see the alternatives. There are playing cards which aim to be funny, there are fruits on the reels which look somewhat rudimentary, and then there are a lot of other types of fruits which are visible in the background, coming out of the horn of abundance.
Symbols: Coin-U-Copia (wild, 2x), Tree (200x bet, scatter), Lemon (3,000x), Orange (1,000x), Plum (500x), Three Cherries (500x), Ace (300x), King (300x), Queen (200x), Jack (200x), 10 (100x) and 9 (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’m not a fan of the game, but that’s mostly because of the design and chosen theme. If that’s not an important aspect for you, the top jackpot might be interesting if the multiplier from the wild or the free spins get involved.
You will find Coin-U-Copia at any online casino which chooses to use software from Cryptologic, playable either for free or for real money.
