A guitar riff kicks in before the reels have moved. Lava Coins 2 is a slot that wants you to feel something before you spin anything. The volcano backdrop glows behind a 3×5×3 asymmetric grid, and the whole thing pulses with a heat-haze intensity that most fruit-themed slots never bother with. This is 3 Oaks Gaming building on the original Lava Coins with a bigger grid, triple the paylines, and a collect system driven by volcanic eruptions that drop multipliers across the board.
Everything in Lava Coins 2 revolves around three symbol types working together. Bonus coins land on reels 1 and 3 only, carrying values between 1x and 15x your total bet. The Collect symbol appears exclusively on the centre reel. When a Collect lands alongside at least one Bonus or Jackpot symbol, it gathers every coin value on the board and triggers the Bonus Game. Multiple Collect symbols can hit the grid at once, sweeping up everything in sight.
The Bonus Game strips the reels back to just Bonus, Collect, and Jackpot symbols. You start with 3 respins. Every new Bonus symbol that lands resets that counter back to 3, keeping the round alive as long as fresh coins keep falling. The possible coin values run from 1x right up to 1,000x total bet, with four fixed jackpot tiers sitting above the regular values.
Four fixed jackpots are available during the Bonus Game. Mini pays 25x, Minor pays 50x, Major pays 150x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 1,000x your total bet. These land as special symbols on the grid and get collected alongside regular Bonus coins when a Collect symbol appears.
This is where Lava Coins 2 separates itself from the original. During the Bonus Game, the volcano erupts and drops x2 multipliers onto random cells across the grid. If the volcano hits a cell that already carries a multiplier, it increases by 1. Any Bonus symbol landing in a multiplied cell has its payout boosted by that multiplier value. The multipliers stick around until the Bonus Game ends, so they compound as the round progresses. The longer you survive on respins, the more the board is multiplied.
The Volcano Recharge resets the respin counter back to 3 during the Bonus Game. When it activates, the Volcano Multipliers feature is guaranteed to trigger on the same spin. This is the lifeline that keeps bonus rounds going when they look like they are about to expire.
Three tiers of bonus buy are available. The standard Bonus Game costs 50x your current bet and guarantees at least one Collect symbol. The Super Bonus Game at 100x adds guaranteed multipliers on top. The Mega Bonus Game at 250x gives you three or more Collect symbols with multipliers guaranteed from the start. For players who want the bonus without the wait, these provide a direct route in at escalating cost and escalating starting conditions.
Lava Spins is a toggle that costs 15x your bet per spin. While active, every single spin guarantees at least one Collect symbol and at least one Bonus symbol on the reels. It turns the game into a near-constant stream of bonus triggers. Winnings during Lava Spins are calculated on your initial bet only, not the inflated 15x cost, so the trade-off is paying a premium for consistency while keeping payouts tied to your standard stake.
3 Oaks Gaming has built a solid catalogue of hold-and-win slots with a knack for coin-collect systems and layered bonus rounds. If Lava Coins 2 clicks with you, their 3 Coin Volcanoes and 3 Super Coin Volcanoes share the volcanic theme with their own take on the eruption feature. Coin Volcano 2 is another sequel that expanded on its predecessor’s coin-collecting design.
For something outside the volcano family, Power Sun XXL and Sun of Egypt 5 bring similar hold-and-win energy to different settings. Browse the full 3 Oaks Gaming collection to explore the rest of their lineup in free play.
Lava Coins 2 plays on an asymmetric reel set — three symbols on the outer reels and five on the centre, producing a distinctive 3×5×3 layout. Fifteen lines are mapped across this shape, reading from the leftmost reel across. When two matches land on the same line, the game uses the higher-paying result.
Spin costs range from 0.10 to 30.00. The paytable is dynamic, adjusting all values to match whatever stake you have selected. With high volatility and a 10,000x max win cap, sessions can run cold for stretches before the Bonus Game delivers. The Lava Spins toggle at 15x your bet increases the frequency of triggers if you prefer to trade efficiency for action.
The Wild symbol is the triple 7s. It appears on all three reels and substitutes for every paying symbol except Bonus, Collect, and Jackpot. Outside of the Bonus Game, standard spins play out like a traditional fruit slot with the added tension of watching for that Collect and Bonus alignment on the right reels.
All values shown below reflect a 1.00 bet. Payouts scale proportionally at every other stake level.
| Symbol | 3 of a Kind |
|---|---|
| Triple 7s (Wild) | 25.00 |
| Bells | 15.00 |
| BAR | 10.00 |
| Watermelons / Grapes | 8.00 |
| Plums / Lemons | 2.00 |
| Cherries / X | 1.00 |
| Symbol | Payout (x Total Bet) |
|---|---|
| Grand Jackpot | 1,000x |
| Major Jackpot | 150x |
| Minor Jackpot | 50x |
| Mini Jackpot | 25x |
| Regular Bonus Coins | 1x – 15x |
Lava Coins 2 takes a simple fruit slot foundation and layers a surprisingly deep bonus system on top. The Volcano Multipliers give the Bonus Game real escalation, the four-tier jackpot structure provides clear targets, and the Lava Spins toggle adds a strategic dimension most hold-and-win games lack. Regular spin pacing runs too hot for conservative bankrolls, and the higher buy-in tiers demand commitment. But for players who enjoy coin-collect formats with a bit of structural depth, this is a well-built sequel that improves on the original in every measurable way.
The atmosphere hits before the first spin. A guitar riff builds tension over a low rumble, and the volcano backdrop throws off a glow that gives the whole grid a warm, smouldering feel. For a fruit-themed slot, Lava Coins 2 puts more effort into setting a mood than most games twice its complexity.
The base game moves fast. Seriously fast. Spins resolve in a blink, and with high volatility keeping wins sparse between features, it is easy to burn through a balance without noticing. That speed is part of the design. It pushes you toward the Bonus Game or the Lava Spins toggle, where the real action sits.
We bought the standard bonus at 50x the bet. The volcano erupted on cue, and the board started filling with coins and multipliers. Stacking bonus symbols while watching x2 multipliers drop onto cells creates a compounding effect that builds tension fast. The respin counter kept resetting as new coins landed, and the Volcano Recharge extended the round further than expected. The session ended with a 79x return on the buy-in, which put us comfortably into profit on a single trigger.
One respin remaining and two active multipliers waiting
Compared to the original Lava Coins, the jump to a 3×5×3 grid and 15 paylines gives the sequel more surface area for the collect system to work with. The original ran a tighter 3×3 layout with just 5 paylines and a 6,000x ceiling. The Volcano Multipliers are entirely new here, and they transform the bonus from a straightforward coin collect into something with genuine escalation potential. That said, the 250x price tag on the Mega Bonus buy is steep, and a cold run on standard spins without Lava Spins active will test anyone’s patience.
The three-tier buy system is well structured. 50x for the entry level, 100x for guaranteed multipliers, 250x for the full eruption with triple Collect symbols. It gives players control over how aggressively they want to approach the feature. The Lava Spins toggle at 15x per spin sits in a different category altogether, turning regular play into a slow-burn bonus hunt where triggers come thick and fast at the cost of inflated spin pricing.
