Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief: Slot Overview
Bill and Ted had an excellent adventure on the big screen, and so have Relax Gaming‘s wee heroes Bill and Coin. The pair headlined 2024’s Bill & Coin, a charming slot with several quirky bonus rounds for players to work their way through. This time, the duo have travelled to North Africa to star in a sequel titled Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief. This one also has a few bonus rounds to sample, so the question is whether they’ll outshine the previous release or sink in the hot desert sand to be buried for millennia before being discovered on a far future archaeological dig?
Bill and Coin have no doubt chosen an excellent destination to visit. Egypt is rife with fantastic sights, and several of them make it into the background, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. However, it’s not the most exciting theme for a slot to use on account of its ubiquity in the industry, but Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief makes do with what it’s got. The sequel arguably has more personality than the previous slot, which was largely blue, green, and money-oriented. So while nothing overly spectacular is happening here, it would be easier to hate on the game if everything wasn’t so darn upbeat and chipper.
The setting may be new, but the action sticks to a familiar 6×4 grid with 4,096 ways to win. Players can wager anywhere from 10c to $/€60 per spin, with several options available including upgrade spins, feature buys, and bonus reels. Volatility sits at a medium-high level, and the top RTP comes in at 96.1%. A cascade mechanic keeps things moving by clearing winning symbols and dropping in new ones from above, giving each spin the potential for multiple hits.
Winning combinations may be formed by J-A card ranks, grapes, watermelons, cherries, bells, sevens, and diamonds. A full 6 OAK winning combination pays 1x for the royals and 2x to 10x for the rest. Wild symbols and Bone Wild symbols substitute for all regular paying symbols.
Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief: Slot Features
In this section, we cover the Win Multiplier, Coins, Dice, the bonus pick’s three options, a super bonus, extra bets, and feature buys.
Win Multiplier & Coins
The Win Multiplier is inactive at the start of a spin. Each set of symbol wins increases the Win Multiplier. Coins do not increase it. Bone Wild symbols may cause a Dice Roll that increases the Win Multiplier by 1 to 6. When Coins reach the bottom row, they pay their x-bet value to the tumble win. The value is subject to the Win Multiplier when it is active.
Bonus Pick
Landing 3 scatters triggers an 8 free spins bonus round where players choose Sticky Coins, Multiplier Ladder, or the Book Bonus. Collecting 5 spins symbols in any bonus (including the super bonus) awards +5 free spins.
- Sticky Coins – Coins are sticky and nudge down 1 row on every spin.
- Multiplier Ladder – the win multiplier is sticky and increases on every regular win and spin. Dice values can boost the multiplier ladder beyond x500.
- Book Bonus – a randomly chosen pay symbol becomes an expanding symbol that fills reels and pays across 10 lines over any 3+ reels. Collecting 5 spins symbols awards 1 new expanding symbol, up to 3 different expanding symbols.
Super Bonus
Landing 3 scatters, where one is a super scatter, triggers the 8 free spins super bonus game where Sticky Coins, the Multiplier Ladder, and the Book Bonus are all active.
Bonus Reels, Upgrade Spins & Bonus Buy
Bonus Reels mode costs 10x per spin. Each spin lands only scatters, super scatters and blank symbols with an increased bonus entry chance. Upgrade Spins includes the Super Dice Grind at 5x the bet, guaranteeing a Bone Wild symbol lands, plus every bonus trigger is a super bonus. Coin Row costs 25x and guarantees to land a full row of Coins. For 100x the bet, players can trigger the bonus pick, or for 500x, they can buy super free spins instead.
Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief: Slot Verdict
Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief was very cheerfully presented, but by the end, it fell short of totally eclipsing the original. The pair are as charming as before, the vibe agreeably lite, and the new doggy dice guy ups the adorability stakes. Ancient Egypt is feeling a bit hackneyed these days, but Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief takes that in its stride while doing the most with the theme it’s been given. For a feel-good, light-hearted diversion, Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief might fit the bill.
Beyond that, not sure. Individually, its bonus rounds are, at best, on par with, at worst, pale in comparison to the original’s. Sticky Coins can be fun to watch nudging down the screen into the collection area, especially when you’ve got a multiplier in the pocket. The multiplier ladder has big values at the upper levels, which might turn out to be fruitful, and the book bonus, well, it’s a ‘book of’ thing that unfortunately swaps the 4,096 ways to win for 10 paylines when evaluating expanding symbol wins. Where the game did come alive was when all three features were present in the super bonus. There, a measure of chaos was injected into the proceedings, where it may become possible to glimpse the 15,000x full potential possibly being achieved.
At the risk of being overly repetitive, let’s sign off by saying Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief is a cute slot that immerses players in a light-hearted Egyptian-themed gaming environment. It is a little thin in some ways when it comes to the gaming, though, and doesn’t really challenge the original except perhaps when all bonuses are running at once.
