How to Play Coin Master

Coin Master is a casual mobile game developed by Moon Active, available for free on both iOS and Android. It combines a simple slot machine mechanic with village building, card collecting, and social features. The game has been downloaded over 200 million times worldwide and has a huge active community.

The core gameplay loop is simple: you spin a slot machine to earn coins, then use those coins to build and upgrade your village. The slot machine can also land on raids (steal coins from other players), attacks (damage other players' buildings), or shields (protect your own village). Between spins, you collect cards, level up pets, and participate in events for bonus rewards.

What makes Coin Master addictive is its social element — you play against your Facebook friends and millions of other players worldwide. You can raid their villages, attack their buildings, trade cards, and compete on leaderboards. It's the kind of game you can play in short bursts throughout the day, and the daily free spin links keep you coming back.

Here's how to get up and running with Coin Master:

1. Download the game from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). It's completely free to download and play.
2. Open the game and you'll be dropped right into a quick tutorial. The tutorial walks you through your first few spins and shows you how to upgrade a building. Pay attention — it covers the basics well.
3. Connect to Facebook as soon as possible. This is optional but highly recommended. Connecting gives you a large bonus of free spins, lets you add friends for card trading, enables daily free spin gifting, and saves your progress across devices. Without Facebook, you can't trade cards at all.
4. Claim your starter spins and start spinning. The game gives you a generous starting package of spins and coins. Use them to get a feel for the slot machine before worrying about strategy.
5. Bookmark free spin sites like this one. Daily reward links are posted by Coin Master's official social media accounts and aggregated by fan sites. Claiming these links is the easiest way to keep your spin count high.

The slot machine has four reels and four possible symbols. Here's what each one means:

Each spin costs coins based on your bet multiplier. The default is x1, but you can increase it up to x200 or more. Higher bets cost more per spin but multiply all rewards. As a beginner, stick with low bets (x1 to x3) until you have a comfortable spin reserve.

Each village has five buildings, and each building has five upgrade levels (shown as stars). Here's how village progression works:

1. Tap a building to see its upgrade cost. If you have enough coins, tap the upgrade button to add a star.
2. Upgrade all five buildings to five stars each (25 total upgrades per village).
3. Complete the village — once all buildings are maxed, you'll automatically move to the next village and receive a reward of spins and coins.
4. Costs increase with each village. Village 1 might cost a few hundred thousand coins total, while village 50 costs hundreds of millions. By village 200+, you're looking at billions per village.

When another player attacks you, one of your buildings loses a star. If you have a shield active, the shield absorbs the attack instead. Buildings that are fully upgraded (5 stars) and then attacked drop back to 4 stars, which means you'll need to spend coins to repair them.

How Raids Work:

1. Land 3 or 4 pig bandit symbols on the slot machine.
2. You're taken to another player's village — you'll see the ground with digging spots.
3. Tap to dig in 3 spots (4 if Foxy pet is active). Each dig reveals coins.
4. The coins you steal come from the target player's coin balance. Players with bigger coin stashes yield bigger raids.
5. You can choose to raid a random player or a specific Facebook friend by tapping the target icon.

How Attacks Work:

1. Land 3 or 4 hammer symbols on the slot machine.
2. You're shown a target player's village with their buildings.
3. Your Viking character automatically attacks one building, reducing it by one star.
4. You earn coins as a reward for the attack. The Tiger pet increases this reward.
5. If the target has a shield active, the shield is consumed instead of the building taking damage.

Cards are collected by opening chests, which you buy from the in-game shop using coins. There are three chest tiers:

• ■ Wooden Chest — cheapest, mostly common cards. Good for filling early collections.
• ■ Golden Chest — mid-tier, better chance at rare cards. Best value for most players.
• ■ Magical Chest — most expensive but highest chance of very rare cards.

Cards are grouped into themed sets of 9 cards each. Completing a full set rewards you with a big batch of spins and a permanent XP bonus. The card sets rotate by season — new ones are added and old ones may become permanent.

Trading cards requires a Facebook connection. You can send up to 5 cards per day to each friend. Join Coin Master trading groups on Facebook or Discord — these communities have thousands of players posting what they need and what they have. Trading is by far the fastest way to complete collections.

Coin Master has three pets, each with a unique ability that helps in different situations:

Feeding pets: Pets need food to stay active. Once fed, a pet is active for 4 hours. You get pet food from energy capsule symbols on the slot machine, event rewards, and daily bonuses. Pets gain XP while active and level up over time, which increases their bonus percentages. Only one pet can be active at a time, so swap them based on what you're doing.

Spins are the lifeblood of Coin Master. Here are all the ways to get them for free:

1. Daily free spin links — Coin Master posts reward links on their official Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages daily. Sites like ours collect these links so you can grab them all in one place. Each link typically gives 25 to 60 spins.
2. Hourly free spins — The game gives you 5 free spins every hour, up to a maximum of 50 stored spins. This means even if you don't play, you accumulate spins passively up to the cap.
3. Facebook friend gifts — Each Facebook friend can send you 1 free spin per day. With 100 friends playing, that's 100 free spins daily. Add as many Coin Master players as possible.
4. Completing card sets — Finishing a card collection rewards a large batch of spins, sometimes thousands. This is one of the biggest free spin sources in the game.
5. Events — Almost every event rewards spins at various milestones. Viking Quest, Attack Madness, Raid Madness, and seasonal events all hand out spins generously.
6. Inviting friends — When a friend installs Coin Master through your invite link and opens the game, you receive bonus spins as a referral reward.
7. Watching video ads — The game offers optional video ads that reward a small number of spins. Tap the spin energy icon to see if ads are available. You can usually watch several per day.
8. Email rewards — If you sign up for Coin Master emails, Moon Active occasionally sends out exclusive reward links to subscribers.
