Game Features & Mechanics
Coin Catch Cove is an engaging IGT title that utilizes a "Countdown Collection" mechanic. Unlike many games where you collect symbols to trigger a bonus, this game allows you to collect credit values directly from the reels during base gameplay—provided the reel is "Active."
The Diamond Coin Holders:
At the top of each reel is a display that can hold up to 3 Diamond Coins. These diamonds act as a timer. For every spin you take, the counter for any active reel decreases by one.
- Activating a Reel: Reels become active randomly, filling the overhead holder with up to 3 diamonds.
- The Collection Mechanic: While a reel is active, any Coin Symbols that land on that specific reel are instantly awarded as credits.
- The Countdown: Each spin reduces the number of diamonds by one. When the holder is empty, the reel becomes inactive, and coins will no longer be collected.
What to Be Careful About
- Suggested bankroll: 10 units.
- Empty Spin Risk: It is entirely possible to play through 3 active spins on a reel and never land a coin symbol. This machine requires a "hit" during the active window to realize the value, making it more volatile than "guaranteed" wild-collection games.
- Low-Value Coins: The strength of the play depends on the frequency of the coins landing. A single active reel is a "marginal" play, while 2 or more active reels significantly increase your hit frequency and mathematical edge.
