Catrina’s Coins (Quickspin) – Review & Demo Play

The Catrina's Coins Slot Game

I took a spin through Pueblo del Cielo in Catrina's Coins and got a Day of the Dead vibe that feels lively without going over the top. The base game sits on a tiled street with papel picado fluttering, then the bonus pans up to a mariachi-drenched scene above the clouds. It looks sharp and sounds authentic, with music rising when wins land. It's a cheerful slot that keeps things moving, and I found the pace suits sessions where I'm testing features and stakes.

The setup is straightforward: 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines, paying left to right. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100 per spin. It's a high volatility release with a default RTP of 96.06%, while operators can set lower RTP models. There's a Bonus Buy at 60x the bet, which uses a 96.48% RTP. The stated max win reaches up to 10,000x, which is plenty for a grid like this. I toggled between base spins and buys depending on balance flow.

Symbols and Payouts in Catrina's Coins

The regulars are eight symbols. Lows are J, Q, K, A, paying up to 1.25x to 3.75x for five. Highs are a chilli, a tequila bottle, a hat, and Catrina herself, scaling from 10x to 37.5x on five of a kind. The wild substitutes and carries the best line hit at up to 75x for five. All lines count from the leftmost reel, so clean hits across three to five reels drive most base returns when the grid behaves.

Specials define the flow. Stars award fixed Starpots of 20x, 100x, 500x, or 2,000x; they drop on the rightmost reel in the base and on any reel in the bonus. Catrina Coins are the bonus keys and, in-feature, carry values from 1x to 5x. Piñatas reveal multipliers of x2 to x5 and interact with wins or feature symbols depending on the mode. I rate this spread of icons because it keeps both line hits and instant prizes in play.

Catrina's Coins Slot Bonus Features

Piñatas in Catrina's Coins show multipliers of x2, x3, x4, or x5. In the base game they apply to line wins and Starpots, and if more than one lands the values add together first. In the Pueblo del Cielo bonus, Piñatas multiply the values of Stars and Catrina Coins that are already on the reels. This simple twist matters; stacking a couple of Piñatas before the round ends can swing totals fast, which I've seen on medium stakes runs.

Triggering the Pueblo del Cielo bonus needs at least three Catrina Coins. The triggering coins carry over, then the feature starts with three lives. Any time a symbol lands, lives reset back to three. Only Stars, Coins, and Piñatas appear. At the finish, every multiplier on the reels is counted and paid. Coins come with 1x to 5x values, Stars hold their fixed prizes, and a late Piñata can lift everything sitting on the grid at once.

There's a Bonus Buy for 60x the bet, opening with three or more Coins and using the 96.48% model. I've used it when chasing volume, as the base can run dry between Starpots. If you prefer to earn entries, the transfer of triggering coins into the feature gives base play a bit of extra weight. Either route, the bonus is about timing Piñatas with solid Star or Coin totals, which makes for sharp swings typical of high-volatility sets.

How to Win at Catrina's Coins Slot

To win in Catrina's Coins, land three or more matching symbols on a payline starting from the leftmost reel; wilds help by substituting for regulars. The grid is 5x3 with 20 fixed lines. Starpots can land as single hits on the rightmost reel during base spins, so I keep an eye out for those when Piñatas appear. Controls are lean: spin, turbo, auto, stake selector, and paytable. I adjust stakes around base return, then step up when I see feature pressure building.

Catrina's Coins Slot RTP & Volatility

The default RTP is 96.06%, with alternate settings of 94.18% and 87.07% depending on the operator. Volatility is high, so stretches without much traction can happen, yet the ceiling sits at up to 10,000x the bet. The Bonus Buy uses a 96.48% model, which I found fair for repeated testing. I treat the Stars as stable instant wins, the Coins as bonus access, and Piñatas as the swing factor. Bankroll planning matters here, especially if you favour longer base sessions.

The Final Thoughts on Catrina's Coins

I like how Catrina's Coins keeps a bright style without getting too busy. The mariachi lift, the pan up to the sky, and the tidy 5x3 layout make it easy to settle in. Starpots bring pop to base spins, while Coins and Piñatas set the tone for the feature. It's a straightforward system that clicks fast once you've seen a round or two, which helps when choosing between grinding or buying.

For me, the draw is that clean mix of line wins, fixed prizes, and multipliers, capped by that 10,000x top end. When the feature aligns, Piñatas can turn steady totals into something serious, yet the risk profile stays high, so I pace bets and avoid chasing. Fans of themed slots with instant prizes and a hold-style bonus that resets lives will find Catrina's Coins suits quick sessions or measured hunts.
