9 Orbs of Gold: Let the Coin Decide

9 Orbs of Gold is a Yggdrasil video slot released on 14 October 2026. The setting is a jungle with a pyramid at its heart, where the treasure of the gods lies hidden, and the aim in Yggdrasil's own framing is to find the orbs.

The hook sits in the bonus. Rather than a single feature round, the game has two, Hold & Win and unlimited Free Spins, and a coin decides which one you play. Around that are the base-game pieces Yggdrasil names in its description: high-paying symbols, Scatters and Wilds.

The published numbers point to a steady game rather than a swingy one. Yggdrasil rates the volatility on the low side and puts the hit frequency close to two spins in five, a mix that favours regular smaller results over long gaps between wins.

Yggdrasil publishes four RTP settings for 9 Orbs of Gold: 90.5%, 92%, 94%, 96%. Which one you meet depends on the version a site has chosen to run, so 96% is the best case rather than a promise. The game's rules screen shows the RTP of the build in front of you.

Volatility is listed as LOW-MEDIUM and the hit frequency as 38.28%. Put simply, over a long run a little under 4 spins in 10 should return a win of some size, though plenty of those wins will be worth less than the stake.

The max win is €300,500, which Yggdrasil also gives as a maximum multiplier of X 6,010. The two figures line up: 6,010 times the €50 top bet comes to exactly €300,500. At the €2 default bet the same multiplier would be €12,020, a worked example rather than a separately published figure.

The coin is what sets 9 Orbs of Gold apart. Yggdrasil's description calls it the Coin of the Gods, while the feature list heads it COIN OF FATE, and its job is the same under both names: to decide whether your bonus is Hold & Win or unlimited Free Spins.

That takes the choice out of your hands. Each time a bonus is earned, the coin settles it, so you cannot steer towards the round you prefer, and the two rounds are worth learning separately.

Yggdrasil does not publish what brings the coin into play or how its two outcomes are weighted. The feature list names two kinds of scatter, Free Spins Scatters and Orbs Special Scatters, but gives no trigger counts for either. The paytable inside the demo is where those rules live.

Hold & Win is one of the two rounds the coin can award. It appears in Yggdrasil's feature list without published rules, so the starting number of respins and the values of the symbols it holds are not on the provider's page.

The other round is Free Spins, which Yggdrasil describes as unlimited. The page does not say what keeps the round going or what brings it to an end, and that condition matters more than the word unlimited, because it decides how long a typical round lasts. Read it in the game's rules before judging the feature.

The orbs have a feature heading of their own, ORBS SPECIAL SCATTERS, separate from the Free Spins Scatters. The title promises nine of them and the jungle story ends with finding them, yet their values and behaviour are left to the in-game help.

Yggdrasil's spec table lists 3 reels, 5 rows and 25 lines, which makes 15 symbol positions on screen. The provider's page does not say whether the lines pay in one direction or both, so the paytable is worth a look before the first spin.

Stakes run from €0.2 to €50 a spin, with €2 as the listed default. The range covers low-stakes play at the bottom and stops well short of high-roller limits at the top, which is also why the euro max win is €300,500 rather than a seven-figure sum.

Yggdrasil lists desktop, Apple and Android among the game's platforms, so the same build runs on phones and tablets as well as computers.

The free demo is the quickest way to fill the gaps on the provider's page, and Yggdrasil's own demo build runs in euro play money, the same currency as the spec table. These are the points worth checking.

First, the paytable: which symbols are the high payers, what the Wild stands in for, and how many of each scatter type start a feature. Second, the Coin of Fate itself: how it is shown on screen and whether the rules state the chance of each side.

Third, Hold & Win: the number of respins you start with, whether new symbols reset them, and the range of values on offer. Fourth, the unlimited Free Spins: what extends the round and what ends it. Finally, the RTP line in the rules, which tells you which of the four versions the build is running.

On the published numbers, 9 Orbs of Gold is built for steady play rather than big swings. A LOW-MEDIUM rating and a hit frequency close to 40% both point the same way, while a top multiplier above 6,000x still gives the bonuses room to matter.

The open question is the coin. Yggdrasil has not published how often it lands on Hold & Win rather than Free Spins, and the in-game rules are the only place that answer can come from. Everything else, from the 25 lines to the €50 cap, is laid out plainly on the provider's page.

What is the RTP of 9 Orbs of Gold?

Yggdrasil publishes four RTP settings for 9 Orbs of Gold: 90.5%, 92%, 94% and 96%. The site running the game chooses which version to offer, so the figure you meet can be lower than 96%. Open the game's rules or help screen to see the RTP of the version you are playing before you stake anything.

What is the max win on 9 Orbs of Gold?

Yggdrasil lists the max win as €300,500, equal to a maximum multiplier of X 6,010 on the €50 top bet. At smaller stakes the multiplier is the better guide: at the €2 default bet, 6,010 times the stake would be €12,020. That sum is a worked example, not a separately published figure.

Can I play 9 Orbs of Gold in demo mode?

Yes. Yggdrasil runs a free demo of 9 Orbs of Gold in euro play money, so you can watch the Coin of Fate, Hold & Win and the unlimited Free Spins without staking anything. The demo is also the best place to read the paytable and trigger rules, which the provider's game page does not publish.

How do the bonus games in 9 Orbs of Gold work?

9 Orbs of Gold has two bonus games, Hold & Win and unlimited Free Spins, and a coin Yggdrasil calls the Coin of Fate decides which one you get. The provider lists Free Spins Scatters and Orbs Special Scatters among the features but does not publish trigger counts or round rules, so check the in-game help for those.

Is 9 Orbs of Gold high volatility?

No. Yggdrasil rates 9 Orbs of Gold as LOW-MEDIUM volatility, with a published hit frequency of 38.28%. That points to frequent smaller wins rather than long dry spells, although many hits will pay less than the stake. The top prize still reaches X 6,010 the bet, so the bonuses can matter.

Does 9 Orbs of Gold have a bonus buy?

Not according to Yggdrasil's feature list, which names the Coin of Fate, Hold & Win, Free Spins Scatters, Orbs Special Scatters and Unlimited Free Spins and nothing else. As far as the provider's page shows, the two bonus rounds are earned on the reels rather than bought directly.
