How does the base game play in the Gold slot?

When a win lands under the dazzling lights, the reaction continues, and up to 117,649 winning combinations open up in the base game. When the metallic golden bag opens, a wild or an x3 wild appears to boost your win. It’s a Big Time Gaming slot filled with luxurious props, so it’s a treat to watch. The base game also has x3 wilds, so one big hit is possible.

How do the Extending Reels free spins start?

When the Golden Record scatter opens the free spins, you first spin a wheel to set the starting Megaways. You start somewhere between 14,000 and 117,649, and each time a golden expanding symbol lands, it turns into two new symbols and that reel grows taller. Depending on the starting point and the number of expansions, the size of the grid can differ a lot even within the same free spins.

What happens when a reel reaches 10 rows?

When a single reel reaches the maximum of 10 symbols, 8 extra free spins are added. Also, every wild on a full reel is guaranteed to be an x3 wild, so as the reels get longer, both the winning combinations and the multipliers grow. If several reels grow to 10 symbols, you can see a max 1,000,000-ways screen. That’s why the anticipation builds each time an expanding symbol lands.

When is it best to use Win Exchange?

If you win between 20x and 70x your bet, you can stake that entire win for a chance at 12 free spins. The success chance is shown in green on the gamble wheel. If you win 70x or more, exactly 70x is taken and you can swap it straight for 12 free spins with no gamble. It’s fun to choose between keeping a big win as is or trading it for a bigger opportunity.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 96.43%, volatility is high (8.4/10), and the max win is 20,200x. Hit frequency is on the low side at 22.02%, so blank spins can pile up. Bonus buy costs 75x for 12 spins, so in the demo, check how the starting Megaways wheel result and the Win Exchange odds are displayed. Also go for the max 1,000,000 ways.
