3 Coins Slot Machine - Play 3 Coins Slot Free

Introduction

If you are looking for a traditional slot inspired by simpler times, 3 Coins from Booongo is a good way to have some fun without getting bogged down in features. It has a classic three-reel design of gems, 7s and bars spiced up with several bonus features. There may only be five paylines but there is a lot of potential.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

3 Coins is one of those games that gives you a chance to step back from the increasingly complicated range of features in many modern slots and appreciate a more classic design. It is not a fruit machine, but there are 7s, bells and bars alongside a set of gleaming gems in different colors and the titular coins that can be used to trigger the bonus round. It is similar to the very differently themed Coins of Fortune slot in that the coins trigger respins. 

The gems may sparkle but the plain, dark reels and the red background patterned with hearts, clubs, diamond and spades are more muted, making the slot quieter and more controlled. There is no real soundtrack, just the beeps and whirs of the traditional slot. This is not a game you go to for something new or exciting, but there is something comforting about the familiar imagery.

3 Coins RTP and variance

There doesn’t appear to be any official RTP or variance information for 3 Coins, which means the only way to find out what sort of returns you can expect is to give it a few spins in demo mode. Here at Slot’s Temple, we host plenty of Booongo free play slots for you to enjoy without having to worry about your hard-earned cash. For the most authentic experience, you can even apply what would be your budget and win/loss limits to the virtual balance we supply.

How to play 3 Coins

This may be a simple game but there are still a few things to bear in mind:

1. Every button you need is to the right of the reels. All you need to do is work through them, although not necessarily in order; for example, you will want to skip over the spin button until all your settings are in place.
2. The first button you will see is the ‘i’. This opens the paytable and you can flick through six pages showing every symbol and its respective value alongside explanations of the bonus features and win lines. There is also a ‘common rules’ button to take you to a more in-depth guide to the basic gameplay.
3. Once you have closed the paytable, it is probably best to navigate to the bottom of the right-hand row of buttons to what looks like a stack of coins. This will open a page showing every bet available.
4. You can go directly to the bet level you want, use the plus and minus symbols to raise and lower it by one tier at a time, or hit ‘max bet’ to send it straight to the top.
5. There are also plus and minus symbols to either side of your bet display back on the main screen, next to the stack of coins button. This is another way to adjust your bet.
6. While you are there, look under the reels and you will see more displays for your current balance and last win. You need to track this if you have followed the recommendation to set a budget with win and loss limits before starting to play.
7. Now we are back on the right and moving towards the center. The small speaker can be used to mute or unmute the volume, while the fast forward symbol activates fast play mode.
8. There is only one choice left - do you want to spin, which means hitting the big green button and seeing the reels turn once, or do you want autoplay, where the reels keep turning until you hit stop? Either way, you are now ready to start playing.

Bet & win sizes

You have a minimum bet of 0.10 and a maximum bet of 80.00, which is a pretty good range.

There is a dynamic paytable, which means that the symbol values displayed adjust as you change your bet. If you start at the 0.10 minimum, the payouts for matching three symbols are as follows:

• X = 0.10
• Purple gem, green gem, red gem = 0.40
• Blue gem, orange gem = 1.60
• Bar = 2.00
• Bell = 3.00
• 7, wild = 5.00

3 Coins bonus features

Stacked wilds

In the base game, wild symbols appear stacked. This means you have three wilds, one on top of the other, to fill the reel and make it easier for you to potentially fill a winning line.

Bonus game

When you find bonus symbols on the second reel, a special bonus game will be triggered. To begin with, you will have four exciting respins, which is almost as good as a free spins round. Every new bonus symbol will reset the respin total back to four; what’s more, each bonus symbol has its own value that will be added to your total win.

Diamond bonus

The diamond bonus is a random award. Find the diamond symbol and you could be given a prize of between 100x and 500x your total bet.

3 Coins review: our verdict

This slot isn’t much to look at but it does have a few twists on the more traditional 3-reel slot games, particularly with the respins and diamond bonus. It is rare to find classic slots with this kind of depth to their bonus features, so it is more than worth giving 3 Coins a try.
