Coins of Alkemor closes the original BetSoft trilogy on a compact 3×3 grid — five fixed paylines and a Hold & Win round built on clearing rather than locking. We treat it as the small-frame counterpoint to its 5-reel predecessors, not a downsized rerun.
Released July 11, 2024 by the wider BetSoft Gaming slot lineup, Coins of Alkemor pairs a 96.18% RTP with a 31.07% hit rate and a documented 3,600× max win. A free demo is widely available through casino aggregators and BetSoft’s official product page — the cleanest way to learn the Wizard Bonus collection rhythm before staking real money.
How Coins of Alkemor Works at BetSoft
Reels, paylines and bet range
The 3×3 grid runs five fixed paylines that count from left to right starting on reel one. Stake selection covers $0.20 to $100 per spin, broad enough for demo testing and serious bankroll sessions without splitting bet panels into separate denomination tiers.
Autoplay runs up to 100 spins with stop conditions on single wins, balance change, and feature trigger — useful for the high-volatility pacing where dry sequences punctuate Wizard Bonus reset bursts.
Symbols and pay structure
The wild crystal ball anchors the top of the paytable and substitutes for every symbol except the BONUS and WIZARD BONUS scatters. BetSoft pairs a wild-that-also-scatters with a stage magician in Stacked. Below it sit emerald crystals, balance scales and scrolls in the high tier, a mortar and pestle in the middle, and red, orange, purple and green gems at the floor.
Five paylines is sparse, so wins concentrate when our wild crystal ball lands on reels two or three to complete a left-aligned line. The lean line count is part of the high-volatility design — most spins return nothing while the Hold & Win compensates at lower frequency.
Hold & Win Bonus Round
The Hold & Win is where the math concentrates. Most of BetSoft’s Hold & Win bonus round family uses sticky-coin mechanics, but Coins of Alkemor leans the other direction: standard BONUS symbols clear each respin while only the WIZARD BONUS locks. That distinction is the editorial pivot.
Trigger and respin rhythm
Three or more BONUS symbols including at least one WIZARD BONUS trigger the round. The bonus opens with three respins on a new symbol set populated only by prize coins and jackpot tiers.
Each new BONUS or WIZARD BONUS that lands resets the respin counter back to three, so a single hot stretch can extend the bonus well past the opening three spins until the reels stop refilling.
Wizard Bonus as collection-and-refill
The WIZARD BONUS is the round’s collector, not its anchor. Whenever it lands it locks in position and sweeps the values of every standard BONUS symbol on screen, adding them to its own total before those Bonus symbols clear out to make room for the next refill.
That clear-and-refill loop is the structural difference vs sticky-coin variants like April Fury and the Chamber of Scarabs for an Egyptian Hold & Win sibling. April Fury keeps every Golden Scarab on the grid; Coins of Alkemor keeps only the Wizard Bonuses and recycles the standard coins.
Jackpot ladder and prize coins
Prize coins in the bonus carry stake-multiplier values from 1× to 15×, while four jackpot symbols ride above them on a fixed ladder. The Grand sits at the top of the 3,600× ceiling math when stacked with a busy refill sequence.
- Mini jackpot: 25× total stake
- Minor jackpot: 50× total stake
- Major jackpot: 150× total stake
- Grand jackpot: 1,000× total stake
Chest of Gold and Wild Crystal Ball
We treat the Chest of Gold as the base game’s quiet pressure valve — at random on any BONUS or WIZARD BONUS landing, extra Bonus symbols replace existing reel symbols, nudging the trigger threshold within reach when the natural fall was one short.
The wild crystal ball doubles as the top-paying base symbol and substitutes for everything except the two Bonus classes on all three reels — the only way to convert a near-miss base spin into a paid line outside the Hold & Win round.
Where Coins of Alkemor Fits in the Alkemor Trilogy
BetSoft’s Alkemor universe arrived in three deliberately different shapes, and we read Coins of Alkemor as the third installment that compresses the format down to a 3×3 grid with a respin-driven bonus.
- Alkemor’s Tower (July 18, 2016) — 5×3, 243 ways, base elemental theme, ~95% RTP
- Alkemor’s Elements as the 2022 middle entry — 5×4, 25 paylines, 10-paid-spin round, 95.45% RTP
- Coins of Alkemor (July 11, 2024) — 3×3, 5 paylines, Hold & Win + Chest of Gold, 96.18% RTP
Worth flagging: Coins of Alkemor: Extreme Magic – Hold & Win (June 2025) is a separate sequel with Very High volatility plus Multi-X / Boost / Expand layers and a Buy Feature — not a re-skin of this 2024 release.
Free Demo, Volatility and Final Take
The high-volatility tuning and sparse five-payline base game make demo practice more useful here than for most BetSoft slots — the bonus is the math, and a feel for the refill cadence before committing real stakes saves bankroll. Aggregator demos and the official BetSoft product page serve the same build.
Coins of Alkemor earns its place beside our high-variance slot collection on the strength of the collection-and-refill mechanic and the 96.18% RTP / 31.07% hit-rate pairing. It is not a session-grinding slot — it is a target slot, where the Hold & Win opens and we either ride the refill or stop and reset.
