Slots O' Gold Megaways by Blueprint Gaming – Review, Free Play in Demo Mode

Slots O’ Gold Megaways takes place within a magical Irish landscape, a grassy woodland clearing with a rainbow stretching across the back of it and two large golden pots at the base of the greenery. The wood-panelled reel casing and hand-drawn artwork for each symbol continue this luck of the Irish theme. Some symbols represent various aspects of Irish folklore: a leprechaun, pots of gold, a golden harp, a horseshoe, and a top hat, along with standard card royals at the lower end of the paytable.

This slot has two key features which are present throughout the base game. Since there are no free spins rounds, all bonus activity will take place within normal play.

Rainbow Respins

This bonus game is activated whenever the leprechaun Wild symbol lands on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. When this happens, the wild expands to fill the entire reel, locks in place, and the remaining reels respin. Any additional Leprechaun Wilds that land will also expand and lock, triggering another random spin. As such, this sequence will repeat until there are no additional Wilds, but will continue for a maximum of four respins. All reels with a locking wild symbol will carry an increasing multiplier of 2x to 5x, depending upon how many symbols showed on that reel when it was initially triggered. The wild cannot appear on reels 1 or 6, and it cannot substitute for scatter or bonus symbols.

Jackpot King Pot System

The Jackpot King Bonus is an overlay feature that can trigger on any spin in the base game. It activates when six Jackpot King symbols appear across reels 1 to 6 simultaneously. In this round of play, Canadian players collect crown symbols as the reels continue to spin. Each time the reels spin, you have 3 choices:

• Spin: potentially adds more crowns.
• Collect: ends the feature and awards a cash prize based on the win ladder multiplier reached.
• Wheel King: skip directly to the wheel king round.

When you have collected 15+ crown symbols, the Wheel King is unlocked. This is a tombola style with big win multipliers and progressive pot segments. There are three progressive jackpot levels available: Regal Pot reseeds at C$5,000, Royal Pot reseeds at C$500, and the Jackpot King is the top-tier prize. Both the Regal and Royal Pots have a Must Be Won By guarantee.

Wilds, Bonus Symbols and Payouts

• Wild: The Leprechaun wild can appear anywhere from Reels 2 through 5 and will replace every other standard symbol except scatter or bonus symbols. When Wilds participate in multiple winning combinations that are active at the same time, only the best possible combination per payline will be awarded.

• Mystery Symbol: If you see two or more Pot of Golds show up in your play, they will flip to reveal the same random standard symbol that could help create additional winning combinations across your Megaways simultaneously.
• Payouts: Pot of Gold is the highest paying regular symbol at 50x for 6 of a kind, followed by the leprechaun hat at 10x, the horseshoe at 2x, and the harp at 1.5x.

The RTP and bet configuration may vary depending on the casino operator. Here are the default settings for Slots O' Gold Megaways:

• RTP: 96.45%. This is slightly above the industry standard of 96%.
• Bet Size: C$0.10 to C$5. A range suited to casual and low-to-mid stakes players. The maximum single-round win is capped at 10,000x the total bet.
• Variance: Medium-to-high. Due to the lack of a free spin round, there could potentially be longer periods of time where no large win occurs in the main game.

Slot O’ Gold is perfect for players who are comfortable with medium to high volatility slots and are chasing the progressive Jackpot King. The Rainbow Respin is the base game’s main event, and landing four stacked expanding wilds is where the real win potential sits. A lack of bonus rounds is a notable absence in a Megaways slot, but it makes up for it with a max win of 10,000x and high 96.45% RTP.
