EmotiCoins

Emojis have become so widely used throughout our lives, everything from expressing our feelings, to instant messages, they are a part of our universal language. Microgaming caught on with this trend and decided to create Emoticoins, the exciting and fun-filled slot game filled with colour and a funky sound.

Emoticoins has all of our favourite emojis, which provides an even more exciting game-play because as we spin, we discover more and more emojis. When you first open this game you feel as though you are in a magical land because the music and sound effects are so fun and retro-like, but for a game which has such a ‘modern’ theme it doesn't really add up.

There are also the standard slot game numbers and letters which add a touch of old-school video slot feeling

The game grid contains symbols consisting of the sunglasses smiley, the blowing kiss smiley, and all of our most loved emojis. Sure, it is fun but on the whole Emoticoins seems a bit rushed and uninspired, even though there’s plenty of bonus features, and of course plenty of Free Spins. It’s an enjoyable game and a great addition to the Microgaming portfolio but we have a feeling that it was trying to ride the coat tails of NetEnt's hyped up emoji game Emoji Planet, released a month after Emoticoins.

Before you start spinning on EmotiCoins, you should make sure that you adjust your betting limit, since as you may know, Microgaming games tend to have quite high max bets. The minimum bet that you can place is £0.30 and the maximum bet that you can place is £300, proving that once again it is of course recommended to adjust before you spin!

EmotiCoins is a fantastic game for those of us who like to high roll, and for the lower rollers too. With 30 paylines, and 5 reels, this slot game definitely has plenty of ways to win, and how could you resist the urge to spin with so many hilarious emoji faces.

The Wild symbol in EmotiCoins cannot be missed, it basically is just a symbol which says ‘Wild’. If you are lucky enough to win with up to 5 of these on your grid, it will turn them all Wild and trigger the Wild Blast feature. 5 extra wilds will be added to the reels for your following spin, which means that there will be a better chance at winning!

The Free Spins feature in EmotiCoins is triggered by winning with the LOL Scatter symbol. The LOL Scatter symbol is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a symbol that is in the form of a LOL. If you happen to get 3 or more of these symbols simultaneously on the reels, it will trigger this brilliant feature.

It will definitely make you laugh out loud in pure joy if you land on this lucky symbol

If you happen to get 3 or more of these symbols simultaneously on the reels, it will trigger this brilliant feature. You are rewarded with 10 Free Spins during the Free Spins feature, and also 10 Free Spins will be rewarded during the Wild Stickers feature too. During your first Free Spin, 1 of the symbol positions will transform into a Sticky Wild, and on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th Free Spin, an extra symbol position will also become a Sticky Wild.
