Money Crown dresses a simple fruit machine in royal blue. Velvet curtains embroidered with tiny crowns hang behind three teal-framed reels, a golden crown splits the two words of the title, and jewelled cashpot plaques are stacked beside the reels. I played on 5 lines at a 10-credit bet.
Theme and Gameplay
The symbols are classic Amatic fruits, each drawn as a glossy pair: twin lemons, oranges, cherries and watermelon slices. At a 10-credit bet, the cashpots read Mini 200, Minor 500, Major 1,000 and Grand 10,000, which is 20x, 50x, 100x and 1,000x the stake. A banner under the reels shows the bet range, from 10 up to 1,000.
The interface is classic Amatic: lines and bet readouts at the bottom, Max Bet and Auto buttons, and a large gold spin button.
Slot Features
Wilds cover all symbols apart from Crowns and Coins. During regular spins, Coins appear solely on reels 1 and 3, worth 1x to 10x the stake. Two Coins with a Crown across consecutive reels launch the Bonus, and any Crown in regular play may also fire Lucky Crown, which drops in enough extra Coins to start it.
Inside the Bonus, Crowns stick and gather every Coin and Gem value that lands. Gems may hold the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand cashpot. Every new Coin, Gem or Crown restores three remaining spins. Every Coin or Gem raises its own reel’s multiplier by one, and its value is multiplied by that reel’s figure when collected. At the end, all the Crowns’ takings are paid.
Regular wins under 400x the total stake can also be gambled.
RTP and Win Potential
You can purchase the Bonus outright, and you can play anywhere from one line to all five. A 1,000x Grand plus rising reel multipliers puts the volatility around medium-high.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Money Crown is a neat, relaxed three-reel game with a surprisingly lively bonus. Sticky Crown collectors and climbing reel multipliers give the feature real momentum, and Lucky Crown nudges the bonus along a little more often.
Ordinary spins are very plain, though, and the paired-fruit look will be familiar to anyone who knows Amatic’s catalogue.
