Golden Fiesta Slots
As we’re sure many of us are all very well aware, the term ‘fiesta’ translates from Spanish to English as ‘party’. As a word employed widely throughout the English speaking world, lending its name to a motor vehicle from American manufacturer Ford among many, many other things; the word fiesta has transcended the language barrier to become a term just as commonly used in English as it is in its original Spanish form.
We’re not sure if a Golden Fiesta differs all that much from your typical fiesta, but we’ve seldom been more keen to find out than when clasping our eyes upon this new release from the SGS Universal team. As far as party-centric gambling formats go, they don’t come more up for a good time and ready to swing as video slots games do.
We’re Having a Party
The chameleon-like nature of the modern video slot lends itself perfect to the fast moving nature of the current gaming generation, not to mention the extremely short attention span of the typical punter. There’s very little opposition within our industry to the opinion that game developers seldom shoot to create something that is going to stand the true test of time and remain as relevant, coveted and popular in a few years time as it is now. On the bright side, this way of thinking is most definitely responsible for the huge and seemingly never ending array of games that we all enjoy!
With all of this in mind, it makes perfect sense that SGS Universal would put out a game that is based simply around the theme of a gold old knees up (for those outside of the UK, that just means party…). After all, if the likelihood of the matter is that the punters are going to get bored and move onto the next hype after a short period, then they may as well throw a party that they are able to enjoy while it lasts.
Golden Theme
From the second this game loads up it’s pretty obvious that you have a party on your hands. For starters, the bright colours and flashing graphics are real attention grabbers and are likely to put you straight in the mood for some serious big play!
Beyond the initial aesthetics of the slot and its background, the game’s five reels are all populated with some rather majestic and festive icons – all shimmering away constantly and inviting players to try their hand. Among these symbols we clock part hats, masquerade masks (interesting choice!) and fans – all of which are the game’s high paying symbols. The Harlequin Mask acts as the games wild and is capable of replacing any of the bar symbols, bar the scatter, in order to form up a winning combination. All rather standard practice.
The game possesses just 10 paylines, half of the usual number that most players familiar with 5-reel games will be used to, though offers a whole range of alternative routes towards those sought after big payouts. The colourful Party Mask is the scatter and will award a multiplier – reaching as high as 5,000x – in the event that 2 or more line up across the active reels. Another feature worth mentioning in relation to the game’s scatter are the free games that will be awarded when three or more of them are visible.
Additional features of the game include an integrate gamble game which becomes available following a winning spin. When the option appears to partake in this risky but ultimately rather thrilling bonus, just click on the ‘double’ button and lodge your prediction upon whether or not the next card shown will yield red or black. Simple all-or-nothing stuff that definitely gets the juices flowing!
Further to the gamble function there is a pretty handy Auto button which will enable the reels to spin on a constant and consecutive basis until you tell it to stop.
It’s a Fun Fiesta
To round things up, let’s take a quick look over the issues covered in this review. Firstly, this game offers an unambitious, though extremely fun theme that is certain to offer a moderate degree of interest to a large group of slots players all across the world. Furthermore, the games landscape is delightfully awash with an abundance of inventive features and bonuses.
Though there may not be a great deal of money on the table here, there is nonetheless an opportunity to have some real fun playing one of the breeziest, most accessible games we have had the pleasure of playing recently. These merits alone make it worth a slice of your time.
