Catrina’s Coins Slot Review

Catrina's Coins Slot Overview

Catrina's Coins from Quickspin takes the familiar Día de los Muertos theme and parks it in Pueblo del Cielo, a small mountain town in the clouds. The action runs on a 5 reel, 3 row layout with 20 fixed paylines, and stakes range from 0.20 up to 100 per spin. It is a highly volatile slot, so the ride can be swingy, but the hits can be pretty chunky when the features line up.

From my time with Catrina's Coins, the base game feels quite steady until Piñatas, Stars, or Catrina Coins show up. Under the surface it is basically a hold and win style setup, with Coins triggering the Pueblo del Cielo Bonus where you chase stacked multipliers and Starpots. The vibe is upbeat rather than manic, and I found myself grinding the base while hunting those bonus entry clusters.

Catrina's Coins Theme, Design And Sound

The presentation in Catrina's Coins leans hard into Mexican folklore. The reels sit inside a red skull-patterned cabinet, with a tiled street, bunting, and colourful houses stretching into the distance. Triggering the bonus shifts things up into the skies above the village, which adds a nice change of scene. Traditional Mexican music with trumpets and guitars carries the action, and I liked how the soundtrack ramps up when wins and features hit.

Symbols And Paytable In Catrina's Coins

The paytable in Catrina's Coins uses eight regular symbols, split into low and mid to high pays. J, Q, K, and A card ranks sit at the bottom, paying up to between 1.25x and 3.75x your stake for five-of-a-kind. Higher up, you have a chilli, tequila bottle, skull hat, and Catrina herself, worth up to between 10x and 37.5x the bet. All regular symbols can appear stacked, which helps fill lines nicely.

On top of the regulars, there are several specials. Wild symbols land on all reels, substitute for standard symbols, and can form their own wins worth up to 75x for a full line. Then you have Piñata Calavera multipliers, golden Stars that carry Starpot values, and Catrina Coins that act as cash symbols and bonus triggers. In total there are thirteen symbols, five of them tied to features, so the grid rarely feels empty.

Catrina's Coins Bonuses And Special Features

Bonus action in Catrina's Coins starts with Piñatas and Stars. Piñatas can drop on any reel and reveal a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. In the base game these multipliers apply to all line wins and any Starpot you hit on the same spin, and if more than one Piñata lands their values add together. Stars themselves appear on reel five in the base, awarding instant prizes of 20x, 100x, 500x, or 2,000x the stake.

Catrina Coins are cash symbols showing values between 1x and 5x. Landing at least three Coins anywhere triggers the Pueblo del Cielo Bonus, carrying the triggering Coins into the feature. You start with three respins, and only Coins, Stars, and Piñatas land. Every time a new symbol hits, the respin counter resets to three, and all bonus symbols stay locked in place. Piñata multipliers in this mode apply to every Coin and Star already on the grid.

The Pueblo del Cielo Bonus ends when you run out of respins or fill the entire board, and then every Coin and Star value, including any Piñata-enhanced totals, is added and paid. It is a very straightforward hold and win round, but those Piñata hits across a screen full of Coins and Starpots can really push totals up. If I get impatient, I sometimes use the Bonus Buy, paying 60x the stake to jump straight into the feature with at least three Coins.

Catrina's Coins RTP, Volatility And Max Win

Catrina's Coins runs on a high volatility model, rated five out of five by the developer, so sessions can be quite streaky. The default RTP sits at 96.06 percent, though some sites use reduced settings of 94.18 percent or even 87.07 percent, which I avoid. Official win potential lands a touch above 10,000x your bet on a single spin or feature, which feels fair for this kind of hold and win structure.

The Final Thoughts On Catrina's Coins

From a regular gambler's point of view, Catrina's Coins is a solid Day of the Dead slot. The theme is not wildly original, yet the Pueblo del Cielo setting, stacked symbols, and Piñata mechanics keep it engaging. I like that heavy base game Stars can still throw in chunky hits while you are waiting for Coins to line up, and the respin bonus has a clean, no-nonsense flow that is easy to read on the fly.

It is not the loudest or fastest game in this category, and the RTP ranges are a drawback, so I always check the setting before committing real money. That said, the mix of random multipliers, instant Starpots, and a max win nudging past 10,000x gives Catrina's Coins enough bite to hold my interest, especially if you enjoy chasing hold and win style bonuses with a proper high variance edge.
