Overview of the Game
Golden Winner is a 5-reel online slot machine game developed by Wazdan, a renowned software provider in the gaming industry. The game offers an immersive experience with its theme, design, and features that cater to both new and seasoned players alike.
Theme and Design
Golden Winner The Golden Winner slot takes you on a journey of wealth and success, as the name suggests. The theme revolves around ancient Greece, where riches are plentiful, and winners abound. The background is set in a golden-colored cityscape with majestic architecture, adding to the grandeur of the game. Symbols include various items that evoke feelings of luxury and prosperity, such as gold coins, jewels, statues, and even the Olympic flame.
Symbols
The slot’s symbols can be categorized into two types: high-paying and low-paying. The latter includes four traditional card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) in red and black colors, which offer minimal payouts for combinations of three or more. On the other hand, the high-paying symbols include gold coins, jewels, a statue, an Olympic torch, and two male characters dressed in laurel wreaths – representing champions.
The highest paying symbol is the Golden Winner logo itself, awarding up to 500 times the bet per line for five appearances on adjacent reels. The wild symbol features a golden crown with "Wild" inscribed below it, substituting any standard paytable symbol to complete winning combinations.
Payouts
Golden Winner offers payouts that range from modest rewards for basic combinations to substantial amounts when high-paying symbols align in the correct sequence and number of times. Here are some sample payout examples:
- Three Red Hearts: 10x bet
- Five Golden Coins: 20x, 30x, or 50x (dependent on coin size)
- Five jewels: 40x to 200x bet
While these payouts are lower compared to other slots in the market, they compensate for this by offering multiple ways of winning through bonus features and scatters.
Wilds
As mentioned earlier, the Golden Crown Wild symbol substitutes standard paytable symbols (except the scatter) to complete winning combinations. Its main function is to assist players in achieving higher payouts or triggering specific features within the game.
However, Golden Winner does not feature a dedicated expanding wild mechanism like other slots where additional columns can shift into place when landing wilds on all four positions of an existing reel combination would normally have won for more free spins and better winning potential.
Scatters
The scatter symbol is depicted as a majestic statue located at the center of town, in front of which stands two muscular men. When three to five statue scatters land anywhere across reels 1 through 3 (excluding wilds), players unlock up to ten cost-free Golden Games featuring a randomly awarded multiplier that varies between x10 and x50 for an initial free game.
Players can win substantial rewards thanks to the multipliers’ high variance but still will enjoy playing without risking even their smallest stake per spin due as all outcomes have some potential for multiple cash award prizes over multiple spins.
Bonus Features
Golden Winner slot machine has a unique bonus feature known as "Win Respins." This takes place when at least two high-paying symbols – one golden coin or any other of the highest paying item plus Olympic flame, gold statue statuette etc. land together.
Upon activation, this mode awards from 7 to 12 additional re-spins (based on winning combination and stakes per round). Each time a new non-winning symbol lands within those rounds, an extra respin is added; however until all available space becomes occupied by either higher-paying items or empty areas.
Free spins feature also activates upon successful landing minimum five identical high-value symbols – in which players enjoy up 200 cost-free games that can generate significant returns over several consecutive free-spins cycles due their multiple multipliers applied randomly every time.
