Cowboy Coins Slot Review 2024

Get ready to go head-to-head with Pragmatic Play in their latest Wild West release, Cowboy Coins!

Pragmatic Play are fairly fond of the Wild West theme, aren’t they? Cowboy Coin’s could be a loose follow-up to their 2020 release, Cowboys Gold, and let’s not forget about Wild West Gold, its Megaways version, and the new Wild West Duels.

Pragmatic Play evidently fancy themselves as outlaws of the slot industry, but does Cowboy Coins live up to the level of quality that we witnessed in previous games?

For seemingly the 1000th time, let’s ride out west to find out.

 

Cowboy Coins Base Game and Features

Cowboy Coins is a 6-reel slot with 2,304 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

The minimum bet available here is £/€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £/€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.08% and a max win cap of 30,000x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Male Character with the Yellow background, followed by Characters with Red and Purple backgrounds, the Gun, and Playing Cards. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten. There are no Wilds present here.

Special Symbols

During the base game and Respins round, special symbols can appear across the reels.

Gold and Silver Money symbols can land only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, appearing with a random value between 1x and 9x your current bet in the base game, and between 1x and 50x your current bet in Respins.

Special Payer symbols in the form of money bags appear on reel 1 only. The Payer symbol will reveal a random value between 1x and 9x your bet in the base game, and between x1 and x50 your bet in Respins.

Each time a Payer symbol lands at the same time as Money symbols, the Payers value is added to all Money symbols present, added together, and paid.

Also available during the base game and Respins round is the Collector symbol, appearing on reel 6 only. The Collector symbol will reveal a random value between x1 and x9 your bet in the base game, and between x1 and x50 your bet in the Respins round.

When the Collector symbol lands at the same time as Money symbols, the value of all Money and Collector symbols is added together and paid.

Cowboy Coins Respins

Landing 3 or more Scatters across reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 triggers the Respins round, awarding 3 Respins. 

During the Respins round, the grid will take on an extra reel at the top and bottom of the main grid. Money symbols will always land on the middle 4 reels, and all other special symbols will land on the 4 outside reels. All high and low-paying symbols are removed from play during this round.

Each time a new special symbol lands in view, the total number of Respins is reset back to 3. New symbols will lock into their positions, remaining in place for the duration of Respins.

The special symbols in play during this time are as follows.

• Payer – Appears only on the leftmost reel. When the Payer symbol lands, its value is added to any present Money symbols and paid once.
• Super Payer – Appears only on the leftmost reel. When the Super Payer lands, its value is added to any present Money symbols during every Respin.
• Multi Collector – Appears only on the top reel. When the Multi Collector symbol lands, its value is paid plus the value of a random Money symbol in view, a random number of times up to a maximum of 30.
• Super Multi Collector – Appears only on the top reel. When the Super Multi Collector lands, its value is paid plus the value of a random Money symbol, up to a maximum of 30 times during every Respin.
• Collector – Appears only on the rightmost reel. When the Collector symbol lands, its value is awarded plus the value of all present Money symbols.
• Super Collector – Appears only on the rightmost reel. Appears only on the top reel. When the Super Collector symbol lands, its value is awarded plus the value of all present Money symbols during every Respin.
• Double Booster – Appears only on the bottom reel. When the Double Booster symbol lands, it will randomly select between 2 and 5 Money symbols in view and Double their value.
• Super Double Booster – Appears only on the bottom reel. When a Super Double Booster lands, it will randomly select between 2 and 5 Money symbols in view and Double their value during each Respin.

If one of the outer reels is filled with special symbols, a one-time extension will occur, opening up an extra reel position.

Cowboy Coins Bonus Buy

Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option.

Pragmatic Play has granted players access to 5 Bonus Buy options, as follows.

Cowboy Coins: Our Verdict

A lot can be said for Pragmatic Play’s latest releases at the moment, especially those with a Wild West theme or a Cluster Pays mechanic like Wild West Duels and Rabbit Garden, but what did we think of Cowboy Coins?

Aside from the tedious theme, Cowboy Coins has a lot to offer its players. From Special symbols to a generous max win cap of 30,000x, Cowboy Coins does not disappoint.

Although the Respins round is your bog-standard Hold & Win style game, it’s one we can definitely get behind thanks to the exciting Modifiers available.

To make Cowboy Coins even more appealing, Pragmatic Play has thrown in a Bonus Buy option for those outside the UK. Not only do you get access to the Respins round, but you can also choose from 4 other options involving special ‘Super’ modifiers.

The price of the Super Bonus Buy options is a little steep, but with a guaranteed Super modifier active, you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting your money back plus a little balance boost.

All in all, Cowboy Coins is a great choice for those who love the simplicity of the Hold & Win mechanic, with a few added perks!
