Gold Megaways Slot Game | BTG Slots

They say you should never look back, but some things are too good to let go of forever. The Gold Megaways slot from Big Time Gaming takes the studio’s first-ever slot machine and gives it the Megaways treatment, increasing the potential win to a very impressive x20,200.

The glitzy reels from the original Gold slot return in a glamorous setting complemented by the famous Spandau Ballet song, Gold. It’s golden for both the eyes and ears, with the backdrop offering a glittering red curtain that sets the action on centre stage.

The reels are the main focus of the screen, with little else to grab attention. The board contains six reels, each holding up to seven symbols. Like other Megaways slots, the number of symbols that land will vary with each spin. This also means that the number of paylines can vary, but there could be up to a maximum of 1,000,000. Betting is modest, ranging from 0.05 to 20.00 per spin.

The theoretical RTP is just above the industry average at 96.24%, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll experience the same when you play. The volatility is high, so if the slot pans out as expected, this could mean long stretches without a win.

Game Features

The golden theme continues in the paytable with metallic royal playing cards as the low pays. The high pays are a series of high-value items, including a gold ring, a gold credit card, a gold car and a gold luxury watch. There are wilds that land on reels 2-5, which can substitute for any of the regular pays. Multiplier wilds worth x3 are also included in this slot and will triple the value of a win when used.

Every time a win lands, the Big Time Gaming mechanic known as a reaction is triggered. You might have seen this elsewhere as an avalanche or rolling reels. The winning symbols are removed, and new symbols cascade into position, providing the opportunity for another win on the same spin.

The spinning gold disc is the scatter, and landing three or more will unlock the free spins bonus. You’ll receive a minimum of 12 free spins, and before the round starts, you’ll spin a Megaways wheel to determine the number of paylines you’ll begin with.

If you land a special golden coin symbol, the reel will expand by one position. All of the reels can expand up to 10 positions, giving the maximum 1,000,000 potential paylines. If any reel reaches ten positions, you’ll receive a further eight free spins. Any wilds landing on that reel will also carry the x3 multiplier.

This slot also includes the Win Exchange option, where you can swap a win of x70 for 12 free spins. If you win between x20 and x70, you can gamble your payout for the chance to win free spins.
