Golden X Casino Slot Machine
Fancy something a little bit different? There is some novel spinning action to be had with this 4-reel arcade style fruit machine from Novomatic. On the face of it, Golden X Casino is a basic classic slot machine with timeless and traditional game symbols, but there are a couple of quite unique gameplay elements to come to terms with – most notably, a gold and silver multiplier feature.
A Golden Oldie
This game is evidently one of Novomatic’s more dated titles with its basic set of game symbols. In fact, these cartoon style fruits do look a bit like the kind of drawings you'd find in those old language text books in school. So if you hated learning French, then maybe this isn't the best game for you!
In all seriousness, the simple visual aspect of this game shouldn't deter too many bettors, especially since this game is all about retro charm and nostalgic arcade style gameplay. There are even some very vibrant sound effects that you might expect to hear in a real life arcade.
Simple Slot, Big Potential
Forget everything that you thought you knew about slot machines, because this game is unlike any of the usual 5-reel video slots or 3-reel retro games that you might be familiar with. That is because there are 4 reels available to spin. This game doesn't even have any paylines. Instead, you simply have to find matching symbols on consecutive reels going left to right start from the first reel.
This means that you can only alter one variable amount when it comes to choosing your wager for each spin. All bets must be above the minimum of 40 and the available options rise in the following denominations: 50, 80, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 800, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 8,000 and 10,000. So, even though players are somewhat limited in determining their own stakes, they still have plenty of default options to choose from.
Rewarding Fruits
Like most other Novomatic slots, Golden X Casino lays out all of its payout values nice and clearly in the “Paytable” menu. It will even alter the values depending on the size of your wager, so you won't need to use you calculators to work out how much you will win.
The wins work by rewarding players who find three or four identical icons on adjacent reels and the pays start from as little as giving back the stake. In fact, if you were to find a triplet of cherries, oranges, lemons, plums, pears or strawberries then you will simply get the amount of money that you placed on the spin back as a reward. You will double the stake if you were to find three clovers, grapes or watermelons. Three stars will multiply total bets by 5x, three bars by 10x and three bells by 20x.
Obviously, the more lucrative payouts are rewarded when you find 4 symbols on consecutive reels. For example, all bets will be quadrupled when you find four cherries, oranges, lemons, plums, pears or strawberries. Clovers, grapes and watermelons will multiply bets by 8x, stars will offer a 25x multiplier and bars will pay out 50x. The most valuable combination which Golden X Casino has to offer is four bells. Line these icons up and dollar signs will be ringing to the tune of a 100x multiplier.
Silver And Gold Feature
Golden X Casino doesn't offer any free spin rounds, nor does it feature any special bonus side games. It does keep things interesting, however, by incorporating a different kind of bonus feature – silver and gold multiplier rings. These rings appear at random next to reel symbols, so keep an eye out for them. If you line up three silver rings then you will be shown a spinning disc with multiplier values. Simply hit the “Stop” button to halt the wheel. Whichever multiplier the wheel lands on will be applied to your win.
If you also find a golden ring on the fourth reel, then you will be able to take a spin of the golden disc as well. This premium disc features more rewarding multipliers which could dramatically improve your winnings.
Now For Something Completely Different...
Golden X Casino is a slot machine which isn't afraid to do things a little differently. It's not often that you come across a 4-reel slot machine, and when you do they often offer some very unique gameplay elements to excite your spinning desires. This slot machine promises to do that with its random multipliers and numerous possible ways to win. The only let down is the fact that the game is evidently very outdated. Then again, this may be a big appeal to players with a retro taste.
