New prizes and \u201cjackpot coins\u201d will appear by getting the bales. Bales will trigger new events\/minigames as well.

You can level up each set by collecting prizes from the same category. Leveling up a certain set will trigger a new event. For example, getting the Battle Set to level 1 will trigger a monster to appear on the coin pusher machine. You\u2019ll have to defeat the monster by firing coins at them. Winning the battle will reward you with a special prize that allows you to earn a large amount of coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By collecting seven jackpot coins, well, you\u2019ll hit the jackpot. Large quantities of coins and bales will be discharged onto the coin pusher machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Old Coin Pusher Friends<\/em> supports online co-op with up to five players.
