9 coins 1000 edition slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Like the original 9 Coins™ game, this game doesn’t feature much of a theme. The background is non-descript; my best guess is that it is a blue rendition of the sky, but once you look at the reels, the game is just based around those huge golden coins, with no attempt to add any further theming to the slot. I guess you could say this isn’t a negative, considering that 99% of us playing slots play for the winnings more than the theme. Whilst this is true, I personally believe that players enjoy the additional effort that is demonstrated when a developer tries a bit harder with their theming. 

Perhaps the paytable can offer us some small relief? Well, probably not, I suspect… there are no prizes to be won in the base game whatsoever; you have to win the Hold the Jackpot™ bonus round to score any winnings at all, so forget all those gold coins with numbers on them that appear during the base game – they really do have zero point or value. During the bonus game, gold coins will appear with fixed values of between 1x and 5x the bet. This is down from the much higher coin values range in the original game, which topped out at 50x. Thankfully there are also jackpot coins to be won here, and they appear very frequently, effectively replacing the higher paying symbols from the original game. Jackpot symbols can be won more than once and include the MINI (10x Bet), MINOR (20x Bet), MAJOR (50x Bet), and of course, the GRAND jackpot, which is worth 1,000x your stake. If you hit this coin, or the total of coins you accumulate exceeds the maximum payout of 1,000x your bet, the remainder of your spins will be forfeit, and the bonus will end.

We have the usual bizarre betting options here that seem to appear in all Wazdan demo slots. The minimum bet is €0.10, whilst the maximum selectable here is €10K per round. If any casino accepts those bets, please let me know, and I’ll eat my hat!

base game & MODIFIERS

I’ve taken a look back at my review of the original version of 9 Coins and had to laugh at what I wrote in this section. Just as now, I struggled to think what I could write in the base game section of a slot that doesn’t really have a base game! 

You are presented with a 3x3 grid which contains nine reels. Each box is a reel, but when that reel stops, you only see one symbol contained on it. All of the symbols appearing in the base game are bonus symbols, but they are useless as far as you are concerned – until you hit a full line of bonus symbols on the centre row, you will not be winning a penny. There’s little more to discuss in the base game, so let’s move on.

9 coins 1000 edition slot bonus features

I’m sorry to report that the bonus round here seems to be just the same as the original 9 Coins online slot. When a developer adds an additional suffix or two onto the end of one of their games and re-releases it, you hope to see some new stuff in the new variant. 

The only new thing you will see here is that the GRAND jackpot is worth 1,000x rather than 500x, and the value of the majority of your bonus rounds will be much lower as a result.

Effectively, Wazdan has upped the volatility of their Hold the Jackpot™ bonus round, and that is it. If this was a more interesting game, that might be fine, but come on – you can’t so much as win a penny in the base game, and now the bonus round pays next to nothing 9/10 times as well. Sorry Wazdan, but I can’t help but feel you are going in the wrong direction here.
