As soon as you load this online slot up and hear the background music you’ll get a good idea of the theme. Spandau Ballet’s ‘Gold’, that classic 1980s hit, resonates from the speakers as the theme becomes clear. This is Gold from Microgaming and it’s one of those aspirational games which make you think that all these riches could be yours if only you could hit that jackpot.
Gold is a five reel slot played out over a maximum of twenty paylines and even without the soundtrack players should be in no doubt about the theme. Everything is cast in gold and there’s a massive ‘Gold’ sign above the reels. It’s all reminiscent of a giant gold watch.
You won’t be surprised to learn that the main symbols are all the trappings of a luxury lifestyle – an expensive ring, a gold credit card, a posh watch, a gold-plated car and some gold bars. 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the remainder but even they are shining with a golden lustre.
The gold suitcase is the wild and it will double any wins to which it contributes. The gold disc is the scatter symbol which activates the feature.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
If you can land three or more of those gold discs anywhere on the reels then this feature will be triggered. Fifteen free spins are the prize and the good news is that any wins will be subject to a 3x multiplier. The even better news is that landing three more gold discs will award more spins up to a grand total of one hundred and eighty.
Gold Online Slot Playing Tips
The feature is triggered by scatter symbol which means you’ll have the same chance of activating it with one or twenty paylines. This suits low rollers but you will win proportionately less.
Verdict
This is a rather basic slot from Microgaming but it does the job while leaving no-one in any doubt about it’s theme. The addition of Spandau Ballet is a nice touch.
