Only Coins Express: A Fresh Spin on Coin Slots

When I first heard about Only Coins Express from Gamzix, I was curious but cautious. The original Only Coins was already a bit of an oddball in the slot world—no paylines, no traditional symbols, just coins. So, what could a sequel possibly add? Well, it turns out, not a whole lot, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a spin.

Theme and Visuals: Riding the Express

Imagine a slot game that’s all about coins, but now with a train chugging along above the reels. That’s the vibe here. The train theme is a neat touch, with a bridge in the background and a soundtrack that feels like you’re on a journey. It’s a subtle upgrade from the original, but don’t expect flashy animations or Mega graphics. The reels are still a simple 3×3 grid, and the coin symbols remain the stars of the show.

Playing on desktop or mobile feels smooth, and the interface is clean. But if you’re looking for a visual spectacle, this isn’t it. Instead, it’s more like a quiet train ride—steady, predictable, and focused on the destination: those Mega wins.

Gameplay Mechanics: No Paylines, Just Coins

Here’s where Only Coins Express really stands out—or confuses, depending on your perspective. There are no traditional paylines. Instead, the game revolves entirely around Coin Prize Symbols. These coins don’t pay out in the base game, which might feel strange at first. It’s like waiting for the train to leave the station—you just have to be patient.

  • Bet range: From 0.1 to 100, so you can play it safe or go Mega.
  • RTP: The average is 96.02%, but beware—other versions drop as low as 92.02%.
  • Volatility: Medium, which means wins come at a fair pace, but the big ones require some luck.
  • Max win: A Mega 2,000X your bet, which is nothing to sneeze at.

So, what’s the catch? The base game is mostly a waiting game. You’re hunting for the Bonus Game trigger, which is where the real action happens.

Special Features & Mechanics: The Heart of the Game

Only Coins Express packs several interesting features that keep the gameplay engaging once you hit the bonus rounds. Here’s a breakdown:

Coin Symbols

These appear randomly but only pay out during the Bonus Game. Their values range from 1X to 9X your bet. Think of them as little nuggets of gold waiting to be uncovered.

Mystery Symbols

Sticky during the Respin Bonus Game, these symbols don’t do much in the base game. But once the bonus starts, they reveal prizes or jackpots, adding a layer of suspense. It’s like unwrapping a Mega surprise!

Jackpots

There are four jackpots:

  • Mini: 10X
  • Minor: 20X
  • Major: 50X
  • Grand: 500X (only in the bonus game when the grid is full)

Landing the Grand Jackpot feels like catching the express train to Mega rewards.

Collect Symbols

These special symbols gather all visible prizes on the reels during the bonus, potentially stacking up a Mega payout. It’s like a magnet pulling in all the coins for you.

Heap of Coins Bonus

Triggering this feature adds enough Bonus Coin Symbols to start the Respin Bonus Game. It’s the spark that lights the fire for Mega spins.

Respin Bonus Game

This is where the magic happens. You start with 3 respins, and every new symbol resets the counter. The game ends when you run out of spins or fill the grid, with the latter awarding the Grand Jackpot. It’s a tense, exciting chase for Mega wins.

Walking Multiplier Frame

Active only during the Respin Bonus, this feature doubles any prize it lands on. Imagine your winnings taking a Mega leap forward with every step.

Feature Buy

For those who don’t want to wait, you can buy your way into the Respin Bonus Game for 30X your bet. It’s like buying a first-class ticket straight to the Mega action.

Is Only Coins Express Worth Your Time?

Here’s the honest truth: Only Coins Express is a niche game. If you’re used to traditional slots with paylines and flashy features, this might feel like a slow train ride. The base game is minimal, and the excitement builds only when you hit the bonus rounds.

But if you’re a fan of unique mechanics and don’t mind waiting for the Mega moments, this game can be rewarding. The bonus game’s combination of jackpots, multipliers, and collect symbols creates a thrilling hunt for those Mega wins.

Personally, I see Only Coins Express as a game for players who enjoy something different—less about constant action and more about the anticipation of a big payoff. It’s like waiting for the express train: the journey might be quiet, but the destination can be Mega exciting.

So, are you ready to hop on board and chase those coins? Give the demo a spin and see if this train is heading to your kind of Mega rewards.
