Scrooge Coins Slot Review

I have a friend who would put Ebenezer Scrooge to shame. And here’s a true story to illustrate my point.

My friend – who shall henceforth be known as T-Rex, because his arms don’t reach his wallet – was at dinner with a group of his friends. As he’s pretty much an accountant, it always falls to him to sort out the bill; and he’ll work it out to the cent! 🦖

Another super pedantic friend – we’ll call her Crystal – queried the seemingly extra $0.50 on her bill and Bob answered smoothly that it was the cost of the sauce he’d ordered and which she’d taken a spoonful of. Yeah, you can’t make this sh*t up. 🥄

Here’s hoping that Onlyplay will be more free with their money in Scrooge Coins slot. 💰

Gameplay

Seeing a game with “Scrooge” in the title does worry me. I mean, the dude was known for being stingy, so does that mean we won’t be able to wrestle money out of Scrooge Coins slot? I guess there’s one way to find out – let’s look at the stats.

The top payout is $100,670, but if you take that in the context of the medium volatility rate, then it’s all good. Plus, the max multiplier is a hefty 10,067x so we can’t complain about that.

The final important stat is the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

, which is 95.05%
. Oh, and the game has 5 paylines.

Scrooge Coins slot is a stunning-looking game that you can play on a mobile device. It’s not as impactful on a smaller screen, but it’s still workable.

You’ll see bells, pocket watches, coins, candles, and fruit on the reels. The Wild 7s replace all symbols other than Crowns or Jokers (which is our homie, Scrooge).

Features

BONUS FEATURE:

If you’ve been around the block, then you know how this works. If you’re a newbie, however, then let me explain.

You’ll need to land at least 3 Jokers to initiate this feature and you’ll be taken to a 3-row, 3-reel grid with no paylines. The job is to land as many Coins as possible on the reels, as Coins carry values. These values are collected and paid out when the feature ends.

Unlike a Hold & Win feature, which this Bonus game resembles, the Coins aren’t sticky so the grid will reset with each spin.

You’ll get 3 re-spins at the start, but any newly-landed Coins will reset the spin meter. If any new Jokers land, they’ll produce Coins either vertically or horizontally adjacent to them.

You’ll also see Crown symbols and 1 of these will activate the Jackpot element of the Bonus game. Landing 2 or 3 Crowns after that will boost the win amount by 2x or 3x.

The job is similar in the Jackpot round; collect gemstones to fill up the corresponding meter for a given Jackpot to be paid its prize. The prizes are as follows:

  • Grand Jackpot: 10,000x your bet
  • Mega Jackpot: 1,000x your bet
  • Major Jackpot: 100x your bet
  • Minor Jackpot: 20x your bet
  • Mini Jackpot: 5x your bet

Performance

I had no performance-related issues while testing Scrooge Coins slot. Which isn’t surprising as the game has been optimized for HTML5 and all devices.

Maximum Win

The betting range starts at $0.10 and is capped at $10, meaning you won’t have to break the bank if you want to chase down the $100,670 top payout. As for the max multiplier, that’s 10,067x.

Conclusion

Hmmmm… so this is a game with one feature that’s kinda like a Hold & Win (without the holding part) and has a Jackpot element baked into it. Okay then.

“Thrilling” isn’t an adjective I’d use to describe Scrooge Coins slot but admittedly the Bonus round triggers often enough that you’re not left floating around in the base game, dying of boredom. However, triggering the Jackpot round is not exactly easy.

At least the stats are good, so if you’re into chilled games with mega multipliers, then Scrooge Coins slot is worth checking out.
