Haunted Coins x5000 Slot Review
Mist rolls over a cobbled graveyard path, jack-o’-lanterns glow in the corners, and a fat spider hangs in a web strung across a gilded reel frame. The graveyard of Haunted Coins x5000 is hiding something radical: not one regular symbol, and a base game that pays nothing at all on its own. Wazdan have committed fully to the coin collector format here, where every penny arrives through jackpots, sticky cash and a single countdown.
It’s a familiar shape from the studio’s coin series, the same territory as 9 Coins Grand Diamond Edition and 25 Coins x3000, though Hot Slot: 777 Coins players will recognise the skeleton too. The game runs on a 3×3 grid of nine independent reels at 96.15% RTP, and the number in its title is the honest one: 5,000x the bet is the maximum it will ever pay.
How Haunted Coins x5000 Pays
There are no regular symbols in the base game. Every symbol on the reels is a game symbol, and game symbols pay only inside the Bonus Game. The one thing that matters in the base game is the middle row: drawing three game symbols of any type across it activates the Bonus Game.
The values, as multiples of the bet:
- CASH symbols: 1x to 10x the bet
- CASH INFINITY symbols: 5x to 15x the bet
- MINI JACKPOT: 10x the bet
- MINOR JACKPOT: 20x the bet
- MAJOR JACKPOT: 50x the bet
- GRAND JACKPOT: 5,000x the bet, the maximum prize in the game
- COLLECTOR: gathers all CASH and CASH INFINITY values and multiplies them by 1x to 20x
CASH, CASH INFINITY, MINI, MINOR and MAJOR symbols can also pay through the CASH OUT feature, which is the base game’s only other route to money. Nothing else in the base game pays a thing.
The CASH OUT Countdown
A CASH OUT label can appear on a random reel during the base game and sticks there for up to 20 spins. Any CASH, CASH INFINITY, MINI, MINOR or MAJOR JACKPOT symbol drawn on that reel has its value accumulated into the label while the countdown runs.
When the countdown reaches zero, a percentage is drawn at random: anywhere from 10% up to 100%, 150% or 200%. That percentage of the accumulated sum is then paid out. The percentages are the interesting part, because a lucky draw can pay out double everything a reel has collected.
CASH INFINITY and the Middle Row
CASH INFINITY symbols may randomly appear in the base game and stick to the reels until the end of the Bonus Game. While they’re held in place, everything else keeps spinning around them. They’re worth 5x to 15x the bet, but the prize is only paid at the end of the Bonus Game, not on arrival.
There’s a second job they do. A CASH INFINITY symbol drawn on the middle row increases the chances of activating the Bonus Game, and it can also land on a reel carrying the CASH OUT label, where its value is accumulated with every spin. One symbol, three roles.
The Bonus Game
The Bonus Game is where the whole machine lives. It plays out across all nine reels, and every game symbol that lands sticks. Three respins are granted at the start, and each new game symbol that lands resets the count to three. The round runs until the respins are finished or all nine reels are full.
When it ends, the prize is the sum of every game symbol’s value held on the reels, including any MINI, MINOR and MAJOR JACKPOTS. Multiple jackpots of the same type can be won in a single round, so the ladder can pay more than once.
Filling all nine reels with game symbols awards the GRAND JACKPOT of 5,000x the bet. That’s the maximum prize in the game, and the values of symbols held on the reels aren’t added to it.
COLLECTOR, MYSTERY and JACKPOT MYSTERY
Three special symbols work the round from inside. A COLLECTOR gathers all values from the CASH and CASH INFINITY symbols on the reels and multiplies the accumulated total by anywhere from 1x to 20x. A 20x collector over a full board is the stuff the respin reset exists for.
MYSTERY symbols transform into any other game symbol apart from CASH INFINITY. JACKPOT MYSTERY symbols are narrower and can only become MINI, MINOR or MAJOR JACKPOTS. Both open one by one at the end of the Bonus Game, so a board’s final value stays unknown until the last one turns over.
CHANCE LEVEL
CHANCE LEVEL is a bet multiplier you can switch on during the base game, with four levels to pick from. It multiplies the base bet and increases the odds of triggering the Bonus Game, and it doesn’t touch the paytable: symbol values stay exactly as they are at the base bet.
- CHANCE LEVEL x2: bet multiplied by 2, at least a 2x higher chance of triggering the Bonus Game
- CHANCE LEVEL x4: bet multiplied by 4, at least a 5x higher chance
- CHANCE LEVEL x6: bet multiplied by 6, at least an 8x higher chance
- CHANCE LEVEL x10: bet multiplied by 10, at least a 13x higher chance
The scaling isn’t linear, which is the point. The x10 level costs ten times the base bet but returns at least thirteen times the trigger odds, so the steep end of the ladder is where the feature actually pays for itself.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7/10
You spend this game watching two things: the middle row and a countdown. Nothing lands that pays, nothing lines up that wins, and the graveyard’s stillness is the whole feel of it. The one reason to sit through that is the round at the end, because when the Bonus Game finally arrives, everything you’ve been staring at suddenly has a price tag.
And the round is good. The respin reset means a board can keep climbing long after it looks finished, and the MYSTERY symbols turning over one by one at the end hold their value back until the last possible moment, which is the best kind of tension a nine-reel grid can offer. The flat stretch before it is the problem: with no pays of its own, the base game gives you nothing but timers to look at, and there are long stretches where you’re watching fog.
This one suits coin collector devotees and anyone who enjoys the slow accumulation format, and the x10 CHANCE LEVEL gives the impatient a legitimate way to hurry the graveyard along. Anyone who wants steady wins in the base game will find nothing here for them; the payouts, like the ghosts, only show up at the end of the night.
