In terms of symbols, the highest paying regular symbol in Carnival Cow Coin Combo is the Fortune Cookie, followed by the Lantern, Flower, Fish and Cow. In a strange turn of events, low-paying symbols fall to Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Nine and Eight.
There is also a Wild symbol present which substitutes for all other symbols except Element Coins which appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Red Mystery Envelope Bonus
During the base game, the Red Mystery Envelope Bonus can be reandonly awarded.
Once this happens, an Envelope will appear and reveal a Cash Prize of £/€38.88 depending on your current bet.
Element Coins
During the base game you will come across special Element Coins. Each time an Element Coin lands in view, it will transform to either a Blue, Green or Red colour which is then added to the corresponding Bowl above the reel set.
Once an Element Coin is added to a Bowl, there is a chance of triggering 1 of 7 Features, as follows.
- Red Bowl – Awards the Jackpot feature with no added extras.
- Blue Bowl – Awards the Mighty feature that is played out on a 5×3 grid with 6 starting Coins.
- Green Bowl – Awards the Mega feature that is played out on a 5×4 grid with 8 starting Coins.
- Blue + Green Bowls – Awards the Super feature that is played out on a 5×5 grid with 10 starting Coins.
- Blue + Red Bowls – Awards the Ultra feature + Jackpot feature that is played out on a 5×3 grid with 6 starting Coins.
- Red + Green Bowls – Awards the Supreme feature + Jackpot feature that is played out on a 5×4 grid with 8 starting Coins.
- Blue + Red + Green Bowls – Awards the Ultimate feature + Jackpot feature that is played out on a 5×5 grid with 10 starting Coins.
Jackpot Feature
If the Red Bowl is triggered during the base game, the Jackpot feature will automatically trigger.
During this round, 15 Coins will be presented for you to choose from. Clicking on your chosen Coins will reveal either FU Baby or Upgrade symbols. Continue to choose Coins until 3 matching FU Baby symbols are found which will award one of the following Jackpot Prizes.
- Mini – Awards 25x your current bet.
- Minor – Awards 62.5x your current bet.
- Major – Awards 250x your current bet.
- Grand – Awards 1,250x your current bet.
Revealing 3 Upgrade symbols before a Jackpot Prize is awarded will automatically upgrade the winning jackpot prize to the next level. If the Grand Jackpot is awarded, it will automatically be awarded twice. This feature will end when one Jackpot Prize is won.
Cow Feature
All 7 features apart from the Red Bowl will always trigger the Cow feature. This round starts off with 3 Respins which will reset each time a regular or Green Coin lands in view.
Depending on which Bowl or Bowls triggered the feature, the starting Coins awarded will be added to randon positions on the grid which will remain there for the duration of this feature.
All present and new Coin symbols on the grid will have a random Cash Value between 0.4x and 100x depending on your current bet. If the Ultra, Supreme or Ultimate feature was triggered, then the Mini and Minor Jackpot Prizes may appear instead of a cash value.
Landing a Green Coin will collect all cash values currently on the grid and add them to your total win pot, but they do not disappear or reset. The Green Coin will then transform into a regular Coin with its own Cash Value attached to it. Filling all positions on the grid with a Coin symbol will award the Grand Jackpot prize.

For those outside of the UK you may benefit from a Bonus Buy option.

Carnival Cow Coin Combo: Our Verdict
For fans of the Hold & Win mechanic, you certainly get your fair share in Carnival Cow Coin Combo, but is it anywhere near as good as those from iSoftBet for example? That’s for you to decide.
Although Carnival Cow Coin Combo is a typical Hold & Win slot, it ups the ante by allowing you to win the collected coin values over and over again through the Green Coin symbols. If you’re really lucky, Light & Wonder has given you a chance to win the Grand Jackpot by filling the entire grid with coin symbols, but this isn’t entirely new to us.
Another interesting touch is the multiple Hold & Win rounds up for grabs with a selection of them available through the Bonus Buy (if you have access to it) and they’re reasonably priced too.
The Ultra, Supreme and Ultimate rounds are the best ones you could hope for which gives you access to the Jackpot feature where you can bag yourselves 1 of 4 guaranteed Jackpot Prizes.
Statistically, Carnival Cow Coin Combo has a slightly lower than average RTP of 95.97% but an impressive maximum win capacity of 30,000x. Regardless of the RTP, Carnival Cow Coin Combo ticks all the right boxes in terms of features and Bonus rounds and the maximum win capacity is definitely the cherry on top of the cake.
