Carnival Cow Coin Combo Slot Review

Carnival Cow Coin Combo Slot Overview

Carnival Cow Coin Combo is a new casino slot from Light & Wonder and the fourth game in the Coin Combo series, following up Marvelous Mouse Coins Combo and the other forerunners. Carnival Cow has, just like Marvelous Mouse, a Chinese theme with symbols such as lanterns, fish, and a golden cow doing the Indian and Buddhist greeting Anjali Mudra. Carnival Cow Coin Combo looks a lot like Marvelous Mouse, and the features are similar. However, this game offers more action with high volatility and a very generous max win of 30000X the bet. You will ind several bonus features, with the most valuable Cow Feature expanding the reels 5 rows high, giving the player several opportunities to land wins on each spin.

Carnival Cow Coin Combo is a video slot from Light & Wonder with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 ways to win. The Min.bet is the somewhat odd 0.22, and the Max.bet is 60.88. The RTP lands at 95.97%, but there are two other versions with 93.97% and 89.96%. Players can expect high volatility while spinning the reels in Carnival Cow Coin Combo, and a max win of 30000X the bet. The game’s hit frequency is 26.5%, awarding a win a little more often than on every fourth spin.

In this magical land of golden cows await grand tools. For the best outcome, make use of the features Wild Symbol, Element Coins, Cow Coin, Cow Feature, Jackpot Feature, Red Mystery Envelope Bonus, and Bonus Buy.

Carnival Cow Coin Combo Slot Information

Appearance-wise, Carnival Cow isn’t a copy of Marvelous Mouse, but it’s very, very similar. You’ll find a 5x3 grid with some curtain at the top and strings on the sides saying “reel ways.” The frame in Marvelous Mouse is red, while it’s purple in this game. The background is some green mountain with a yellow sky, and a couple of birds are hanging out on tree branches with purple flowers. A blue, red, and green pot is placed on top of reels 2, 3, and 4, representing different bonus features. The music has an Asian touch and a flute loop that becomes pretty repetitive after a while.

For some reason, the bet range starts at 0.22, and you can’t place a bet of 1 because of the odd range. The closest bets are 0.88 and the default 1.08. We don’t really know why the slot is built like this. At first, you might think it’s because of number superstition, but the Chinese lucky numbers 3, 6, and 8 aren’t divisible by 22. Anyway, the player must land at least 3 of the same symbols on adjacent reels going left to right to make a win. The winline has to start with the first reel to the left. The game is available on all devices such as desktop computers, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols are 8, 9, J, Q, K, and A. Landing a win of 5 of them will give the player 0.46X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are cow, fish, flower, lantern, and ingot. They pay between 1.39X and 9.26X the bet for a 5-symbols win. We have no idea why the main character, the cow, pays less than four other symbols, but that’s just the way it is. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Element Coins, which can trigger the Jackpot Feature.

Carnival Cow Coin Combo Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Carnival Cow Coin Combo?

You can win up to 30000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Carnival Cow Coin Combo?

The features are Wild Symbol, Element Coins, Cow Coin, Cow Feature, Jackpot Feature, Red Mystery Envelope Bonus, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a tree with colorful flowers on it. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the base game and substitutes all symbols except the Element Coins.

Element Coins

The Element Coins are blue, red, and green. In the base game, the coins will fly into each corresponding basket on top reels 2, 3, and 4. Any coin can trigger the feature for each basket, and more than one coin can be triggered on one spin. The blue and green baskets represent the cow feature, and the red basket represents the Jackpot Feature.

Cow Coin

The Cow Coin is used in the Cow Feature, which can be triggered by the blue or green element coins. During the feature, green cow coins can land on the reels, and transform into golden cow coins with a cash value between 0.37X and 92.59X the bet.

Cow Feature

The Cow Feature can be triggered separately or together with the Jackpot Feature. Landing any green or blue element coin can trigger the Cow Feature, and landing several element coins can make the feature even better. The game is played on a grid containing golden cow coins and empty positions. The player gets 3 spins, with the possibility of landing blanks or cow coins on each position. Every time a cow coin hits the grid, the spins are reset to 3, and the value of all coins is collected and awarded to the player. The feature is over when the player runs out of spins or when all positions are filled with coins. The reels’ size and the coins’ starting number depend on which basket activates the feature. This is the outcome of activating one or more of the baskets above the reels:

Blue Basket = A 5x3 grid with 6 starter coins.

Green Basket = A 5x4 grid with 8 starter coins.

Blue + Green Basket = A 5x5 grid with 10 starter coins.

It’s possible to land a red element coin activating the Jackpot Feature in the same spin as blue and green coins. In that case, the cow feature is played before the Jackpot.

Jackpot Feature

The Jackpot Feature contains 15 coins, and the player gets to pick one coin at a time. Each coin will display a Fu Baby, representing one of the 4 Jackpots, or an Upgrade Symbol. The player gets to pick coins until the same baby symbol has been revealed 3 times, and that Jackpot is awarded. The Jackpots Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand pay 23.15X, 57.87X, 231.48X, and 1157.41X the bet. The uneven numbers are because of the uneven bet range. If you’re playing on the default bet 1.08, the Jackpots will pay 25, 62.5, 250, and 1250.

If 3 Upgrade Symbols are displayed, the awarded Jackpot will be upgraded to the next one. Landing 3 upgrade symbols while winning the Grand Jackpot will award that Jackpot twice.

Red Mystery Envelope Feature

The Red Mystery Envelope Feature is not new to people familiar with the coin combo games. The feature can trigger randomly on any spin in the base game, awarding 38.88X the bet. The base game spins go back to normal after the envelope prize is awarded.

Bonus Buy

You can buy yourself a ticket to the Cow Feature but not to the Jackpot Feature. Paying 27.78X, 46.30X, or 83.33X the bet will give you the feature with 3, 4, or 5 rows. You can also pay 55.56X the bet, and the game will randomly give you one of the 3 starting conditions. 

Carnival Cow Coin Combo Slot Conclusion

Carnival Cow Coin Combo is very similar to the Marvelous Mouse. Some changes have been made, though. This game doesn’t have a free spins feature for example. The uneven betting range – with the default bet of 1.08 – is still in use, and the graphics look alike. The music sounds catchy at the start but becomes repetitive quite fast. We don’t really understand why there are four more valuable symbols than the cow in Carnival Cow. The Cow theme is not super clear, and there aren’t many signs of a carnival in the graphics.

Players who aren’t familiar with the previous coin combo games will still feel at home with the Cow Feature if they have played games such as Cairo Link & Win or Colossus Hold & Win. The Cow Feature, with its 3 spins that reset every time you land a cow, is exciting and entertaining. However, we don’t understand how it’s possible to win the max win of 30000X the bet. Landing several of the highest value coins will give you some huge wins, though, since the coin’s values are collected every time a new coin hits the reels. The Jackpot is also a nice feature, with a guaranteed win. Still, the max win for landing the Grand Jackpot twice, thanks to the upgrade symbols, will only award just above 2300X the bet. The RTP of 95.97% feels fine, although a bit under the average slot RTP.

Carnival Cow Coin Combo from Light & Wonder takes the player on a coin collecting journey with Jackpots and a max win of 30000X the bet.
