Slot Overview

The Gold Trio series has a reliable formula, and Calacamania is its most vivid expression. Where other entries in the range dress the same Hold & Win engine in neutral colours, this slot leans fully into Día de los Muertos, skull coins, mariachi symbols, candlelit imagery, and the result is one of the more characterful demos in Playtech’s catalogue. The three coloured coin system that defines the series does real design work here, not just cosmetic variation.

Demo Features

Fire Wheel Feature

The Fire Coin symbol can appear anywhere in view during the main game or during the Gold Trio Respins feature. Landing one triggers the Fire Wheel Feature, which spins a prize wheel. The wheel can award any of the following outcomes: trigger the Gold Trio Respins with one, two, or three pots active in the main game; add a new pot to an active Gold Trio Respins session; award the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand cash prize directly; or award a cash prize worth up to 5x the total bet.

The Fire Wheel is the only route to triggering Gold Trio Respins with a specific number of coloured coin types pre-selected, rather than depending on which coins happen to land in the main game.

Xolo Dog’s Feature

On any spin, the Xolo Dog character may activate randomly and intervene in one of three ways: adding Coloured Coin symbols to the reels during the main game, adding Coloured Coins during the Gold Trio Respins feature, or adding Fire Coins during either phase. The feature is not triggered by a symbol landing — it fires independently of the standard reel outcome.

Bonus Buy Feature

Bets run from £0.10 per spin. The Buy Feature costs 50x the total bet and instantly triggers the Gold Trio Respins with one, two, or all three Coloured Coins active. As with other Playtech games in this series, the feature may be restricted by operator or jurisdiction.

How to Play

What Calacamania Does

The grid is 5 reels by 3 rows, with 30 fixed paylines. Wins form on three or more matching symbols across consecutive reels from left to right, with only the highest win per line paid. The Wild substitutes for all standard pay symbols but cannot replace any of the coin symbols.

The pay symbols are the Xolo dog (premium), taco, sombrero, guitar, candle, and the four card royals A through J. The paytable values below are taken from the in-game panel at the displayed demo stake.

Symbol 5 of a Kind 4 of a Kind 3 of a Kind
Xolo Dog €30.00 €7.50 €2.00
Taco €22.50 €6.25 €1.50
Sombrero €17.50 €5.00 €1.25
Guitar €15.00 €3.75 €1.00
Candle €12.50 €3.75 €1.00
A €10.00 €2.50 €0.75
K €7.50 €2.00 €0.75
Q €6.25 €1.50 €0.50
J €6.25 €1.50 €0.50

Gold Trio Respins

Landing one, two, or all three coloured coin types anywhere in view during the main game may trigger the Gold Trio Respins feature. When it fires, 3 to 5 coins lock onto a cleared grid and three respins begin. Each additional coin that lands resets the counter back to three. Filling the screen with coins awards the Grand Prize.

Only specific symbol types can appear during respins: Cash Prize Coins, Fire Coins, Mini/Minor/Major Special Prize Coins, and whichever coloured coins triggered the feature. That last point has a practical consequence worth understanding. If only the red coin triggered the bonus, blue and purple coins cannot land during respins regardless of how many times the counter resets. Standard pay symbols and royals are also absent, so the reel set is entirely coin-focused from the first respin onward.

Coin Multiples

Red Coloured Coin

Multiplies the value on all coin symbols currently in view by 2x. The multiplication applies during Gold Trio Respins.

Purple Coloured Coin

Collects all cash prizes visible on the reels and awards the sum immediately during Gold Trio Respins.

Blue Coloured Coin

Boosts the value of all Cash Prize Coins and Special Prize Coins on the reels during Gold Trio Respins.

Cash Prize Coin

Awards a cash prize worth up to 5x the total bet. Appears during Gold Trio Respins only.

Special Prize Coins

Four fixed jackpot coins, Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, appear randomly during the Gold Trio Respins. The Grand Prize is awarded by filling the screen completely with coins.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Red coin multiplies values first, then the Purple coin collects the boosted total. The order matters significantly when both are on the reels simultaneously, as the collection sweeps the already-multiplied figures rather than the base coin values.
It can trigger during both. The Fire Coin appears in either phase, and landing one during an active Gold Trio Respins session spins the wheel, which can add a new pot to the ongoing bonus rather than restarting it.
Yes. The Blue coin boosts both Cash Prize Coins and Special Prize Coins, which includes the Mini, Minor, and Major jackpot symbols. The Grand Prize is a screen-fill reward rather than a coin with a face value, so it is not directly boosted in the same way.
Yes. Coins added by Xolo Dog lock onto the reels and count as new landings, which resets the three-respin counter. This makes the feature particularly valuable during a respin session where the counter is running low.
