Atomic Coins OverviewAtomic Coins is a Fugaso game built on a three-by-three grid with 5 paylines, four fixed jackpots and a coin-collection feature called Running Wins. It is a fruit-machine skin over a hold-and-win engine, and the join between the two is unusually visible. The clearest illustration is a single screenshot: three gold coins reading 450.00, 450.00 and 150.00 sit down the right-hand reel, and the blue orb in the centre of the grid reads 1,050.00 – their exact sum. Theme and GraphicsThe setting is deep space: a dark blue field scattered with stars, an occasional comet streaking past the edge of the frame, and the ATOMIC COINS logo spilling out of a heap of gold coins piled along the top of the reels. The symbols are classic slot furniture given a science-fiction finish – a red 777, a pair of gold bells, a blue X, a BAR plate, and card suits rendered as cut gemstones in green, purple, red and blue. The coins themselves are large gold discs with their cash value stamped across the face in red, and the collector is a swirling blue vortex that looks like an atom seen end-on. The four jackpot plates run down the left in red, purple, blue and green, with a gold BUY button beneath them. All figures below come from demo play at a 30.00 EUR bet. Nine Positions, Five LinesThree reels by three rows gives nine positions and 5 paylines, so every winning combination is exactly three of a kind and the paytable needs only one column. That is as compact as a slot layout gets, and it has a specific consequence for the feature: when the collection round runs, there are only nine cells for coins to land in. A board that fills is not a rare event here, which changes the character of the round entirely compared with a fifteen- or twenty-cell version. Symbols and PaytableThe 777 leads at 1,500.00 for three, and the paytable gives it the wild role as well, noting that it substitutes all symbols with exception of Bonus symbols and Super Bonus symbols. The bells follow at 900.00, the blue X at 600.00 and the BAR plate at 480.00. Then the table falls off a cliff. The green diamond, purple spade and red heart share a single rung at 120.00, and the blue clubs sit alone at the bottom on 30.00. Against the 30.00 stake those are 50x, 30x, 20x, 16x, 4x and 1x. The gap between the BAR at 16x and the suits at 4x is the whole shape of the base game: a spin either lands in the top four rows and pays properly, or it lands in the bottom two and returns between one and four times the bet. Three blue clubs pays exactly the stake back. The demo’s ordinary results confirm it – 120.00 and 150.00 on separate spins, or 4x and 5x the bet. Running Wins: the Orb That Adds UpThe collector is the blue vortex in the middle of the grid, and what it does is arithmetic performed in public. In one capture, coins of 450.00 and 300.00 sit on the right-hand reel and the orb reads 750.00. In another, coins of 450.00, 450.00 and 150.00 produce an orb reading 1,050.00. Added, not multiplied. Every coin on screen contributes its face value to a single running total, and the orb displays that total as it grows. On a 30.00 stake, 1,050.00 is 35 times the bet – from three coins on one reel, on a game whose best three-of-a-kind pays 50x. That comparison is the design in one line. A single coin reading 450.00 is worth 15x the stake; the BAR plate, the fourth-best symbol in the paytable, pays 16x for a complete winning line. One coin is worth as much as a good ordinary spin. The Respin RoundEnter the bonus proper and the grid clears to a field of pale atom icons with a RE-SPINS counter on the right. The demo catches it at the start – 0 of 3, total win 0.00 – with three coins reading 360.00 each stacked down the middle column behind their orbs. Three respins that reset each time a new coin lands is the standard hold-and-win contract, and on nine positions it is a forgiving one. Another capture from inside the round shows coins of 60.00 and 210.00 on a board of atoms, which gives a sense of the spread: values range from twice the stake to seven times it and beyond. The Boost FeatureThe paytable devotes a panel to a mechanic called BOOST FEATURE, and illustrates rather than explains it: a blue orb in the centre with arrows pointing towards it from a MINOR plate on one side and a MAJOR plate on the other, and a chip marked 100 above. The picture reads as an upgrade path – a coin or a jackpot tier being promoted to a higher one. Given that the Grand sits well short of the game’s published ceiling, a mechanic that lifts values between tiers is the obvious candidate for how the maximum is actually reached. The Buy MenuThe BUY button opens a menu with three entries. The first is a coin marked X5 at 90.00 EUR with an ACTIVATE button rather than a BUY one – three times the stake, and a toggle rather than a purchase. Below it sits RUNNING WINS BONUS at 2,250.00 EUR, described as enter straight into the bonus game. That is 75 times the bet, and the demo shows the confirmation dialogue for it. Beneath that again is RUNNING WINS SUPER BONUS, which promises the same entry with 3 Super Bonus symbols guaranteed. The Four JackpotsThe plates read Grand 30,000.00, Major 4,500.00, Minor 1,500.00 and Mini 750.00. At the 30.00 stake those are 1,000x, 150x, 50x and 25x the bet. The steps are steep and uneven: Mini to Minor doubles, Minor to Major triples, and Major to Grand multiplies by nearly seven. Note too that the Minor at 1,500.00 is worth exactly what three 777s pay – the second-lowest jackpot matches the best line in the game. RTP, Volatility and Max WinThe RTP is 96%, right at the modern standard. Volatility is rated Medium-High and the maximum win is 5,000x the bet. The Grand at 1,000x is therefore a fifth of the ceiling, which tells you the maximum is not a jackpot at all – it is a full board of high-value coins run through the Boost feature. Medium-High is a fair rating for the mix: nine positions and five lines produce frequent small results, a good share of them at or barely above the stake, while everything of consequence waits in the collection round.
