How to play Coin Drop on Mac

Game summary

Coin Drop is a game that shares some similarities to pachinko or Peggle. The player is presented with a vertical playfield that consists of pins and other kinds of obstacles. The player drops coins from the top of the screen by tapping the screen. These will then bounce around until they reach one of five buckets at the bottom. Each level has a number of bad pennies and to move on to the next, the player has to hit all of them. The game is played with the touchscreen and the player simply taps where he wants the coins to drop. Up to five coins can be dropped at once. By hitting all buckets the player gets a coin frenzy. This means that five bonus coins automatically gets dropped. Each level has a number of pins that the player gets points for hitting. They then change color and when all pins have changed colour, the points awarded goes up. Some levels have girl coins that have to be rescued. This is often done by destroying Breakout-like bricks so that the coins can fall down to the bottom.

Play Coin Drop on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Coin Drop on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Coin Drop installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Coin Drop like you would on any PC.
