88 Coins

88 Coins is an online slot based on a Chinese-inspired theme. However, the game does have a somewhat retro appearance. This is mainly down to the user interface, with a variety of buttons that mimic traditional slot machines. On the other hand, the graphics are modern, and the background contains a lot of detail. It's apparent that 88 Coins is set on the outskirts of an ancient Chinese temple that is overrun with greenery, as the board floats in front.  

A total of 5 reels and 30 paylines can be found in 88 Coins, all of which operate from left to right. Players can spin this slot with a minimum stake size of 0.30 per round, with the maximum potential winnings sitting at 6,600x the bet. 88 Coins has also been optimised for a variety of mobile devices, including tablets. 

This slot was created by GECO Gaming, a relatively small provider that was founded in 2014. Although many punters may not have heard of GECO Gaming, they have a variety of popular releases in their portfolio, which includes the likes of 5 Ages of Gold, Scatter Brains, and Tie the Knot. The company likes to create slots that revolve around innovative themes while also incorporating traditional mechanics. 

To start this section, 88 Coins has the standard J, Q, K, and A symbols that are featured in most online slots. Next up are the premium icons, shown as a lantern, a parchment paper, a fish statue, a Chinese dragon statue, and a pot of gold. These can award players with approximately 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, and 30x their stake size, respectively, should 5 form a matching combination.  

As for special symbols, there is a wild icon, shown as a pink lily. There is also a scatter symbol displayed as a golden coin. Scatter icons can trigger the main bonus mode, which is covered in detail below! 

The first bonus feature in this slot is linked to the aforementioned wild symbols. Like wilds in other games, these can replace any standard or premium symbol in order to form a matching combination. However, in 88 Coins, any combination that contains a wild will automatically have any potential winnings multiplied by two before they're awarded to the player. Of course, the wild symbol cannot substitute for scatter icons.  

Speaking of scatter symbols, landing 3, 4, or 5 of these simultaneously will trigger the main free spins bonus mode in 88 Coins. In addition to awarding either 2x, 5x, or 20x the stake size, respectively, players will also receive a total of 10 free spins. When a wild is part of a matching combination in this mode, it can attract a multiplier of up to 88x, which will be applied to any potential winnings. This is where the '88' reference in the slot title comes from! 

While 88 Coins is a rather classic and minimal slot, it does contain two unique bonus features to experience. The user interface contains a variety of options, all of which can be adjusted as per the player's preferences. 88 Coins also has impressive visuals, including the board and featured symbols!
