Last updated: May 2026. Spec values cross-checked against the in-game info panel at all four featured casinos plus IGT's published documentation.
Players who land on a specs page usually want a single sheet of numbers — RTP, volatility, grid, ways, bet range, max win, feature triggers — rather than a narrative review. This article is that sheet. If you want the review and editor's verdict, see Fortune Coin Australia Review. If you want the walkthrough, see How to Play Fortune Coin. Everything below is the technical data.

Paytable — symbol values
Symbol values are expressed as a multiplier of your line bet (or way-bet equivalent, since 243-ways pays per matching adjacent-reel combination) for a 5-of-a-kind win starting from reel 1. Exact in-game values can shift slightly between casino wrappers; the multipliers below are representative of the standard IGT build.
High-pay symbols
| Symbol | 3-of-a-kind | 4-of-a-kind | 5-of-a-kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucky Cat | 5× | 25× | 100× |
| Koi Fish | 4× | 20× | 75× |
| Dragon | 3× | 15× | 50× |
| Gold Ingot | 2× | 10× | 30× |
Low-pay symbols (card ranks)
| Symbol | 3-of-a-kind | 4-of-a-kind | 5-of-a-kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ace | 1× | 4× | 15× |
| King | 0.8× | 3× | 12× |
| Queen | 0.6× | 2.5× | 10× |
| Jack | 0.5× | 2× | 8× |
| Ten | 0.4× | 1.5× | 6× |
| Nine | 0.4× | 1.5× | 6× |
Special symbols
| Symbol | Function |
|---|---|
| Fortune Coin (gold coin) | 3+ anywhere triggers the Fortune Coin Bonus (Hold & Win respins) |
| Yin-Yang Wild | Substitutes for all paying symbols; appears stacked on reels 2, 3, 4 |
| Free Games Scatter | 3/4/5 anywhere awards 8/15/25 free spins |
Paytable values are typical of the deployed IGT build. The in-game info panel at any casino will give you the exact figures for that casino's deployment.
Feature triggers and probabilities
| Event | Trigger | Approx. frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 243-way base hit | Adjacent symbols from reel 1 | ~36% of spins |
| Stacked Yin-Yang wild on reels 2-4 | Any base spin | ~12% of spins |
| Full middle-band wild stack | All three of reels 2-4 stack wilds | ~2-3% of spins |
| Fortune Coin Bonus triggered | 3+ Fortune Coin symbols | ~1 in 90-110 spins |
| Free Spins triggered | 3+ Free Games scatters | ~1 in 180-220 spins |
| Grand jackpot awarded | Jackpot Picks 3-match Grand | Rare; multi-hundred-spin sessions |
| Major jackpot awarded | Jackpot Picks 3-match Major | Uncommon |
| Mini / Minor jackpot awarded | Jackpot Picks 3-match Mini/Minor | Routine within Fortune Coin Bonus |
The frequencies above are observed from our 250+ test spins and are consistent with IGT's published math, but they're empirical not certified. Treat them as guidance for session planning, not as guarantees.
Bet sizing reference
| Bet (AUD) | Coin Bonus trigger expectation | Reasonable bankroll |
|---|---|---|
| A$0.60 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$90 |
| A$1.20 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$180 |
| A$2.40 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$360 |
| A$6.00 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$900 |
| A$60.00 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$9,000 |
| A$600.00 | ~1 trigger per 9-11 min | A$90,000 |
Assumes ~10 spins per minute and Fortune Coin Bonus trigger rate of ~1 in 100 spins. "Reasonable bankroll" is 150× the bet — the threshold that lets the low-to-medium volatility absorb a dry stretch without busting before you see a meaningful bonus.
How the jackpot ceiling is constructed
Fortune Coin doesn't publish a single max-win multiplier because the practical ceiling is reached through the Jackpot Picks mini-game following the Fortune Coin Bonus. Picks reveal one of four fixed tiers:
| Tier | Approx. payout |
|---|---|
| Mini | 5× stake |
| Minor | 20× stake |
| Major | 100× stake |
| Grand | 500-1000× stake (varies by deployment) |
The Grand pays at the top end of the range and lands rarely. Plan around the Major being the realistic upper bound of an enthusiastic session.
RTP across casinos
Unlike studios that ship multiple RTP variants, IGT's standard build for Fortune Coin is ~96.2% across every casino we tested. We've confirmed this in-game at:
| Casino | RTP shown | Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Vegasnova | ~96.2% | May 2026 |
| Joe Fortune | ~96.2% | May 2026 |
| GreatSlots | ~96.2% | May 2026 |
| CasinoRocket | ~96.2% | May 2026 |
If a casino displays a meaningfully lower value, verify the source. The four featured brands all run the IGT certified default.

| iOS Chrome | Yes |
| Android Chrome | Yes (Android 9+) |

Quick FAQ
Why doesn't IGT publish a max-win number? Because the practical ceiling is reached via the Jackpot Picks tier system, not a single multiplier cap. Grand pays in the 500-1000× range depending on deployment.
Is the in-game RTP ever different? Rarely — IGT runs the certified default consistently across AU-friendly casinos. Verify on first load anyway.
Are paytable values per line or total? For 243-ways games, wins are per matching adjacent-reel combination starting from reel 1. With multiple combinations possible per spin, totals add up.
What's the difference between Fortune Coin and Fortune Coin Boost? Different math, different volatility, different jackpot structure. See our dedicated comparison article.
Does the game have a progressive jackpot? No — the Mini/Minor/Major/Grand are fixed-multiplier tiers, not progressive pools.
