If you feel like revisiting something a little more familiar after playing tons of modern slots, check out Land of Gold. This is an Irish luck themed online slot game and it is brought to you by none other than software giant, Playtech. The visuals here are kind of cartoonish but they still have some elegance to them, and while they aren’t 3D or anything like that the graphics are still of a decent quality. The backdrop will take you to the lovely green Irish hills on a grand sunny day. There is a clear blue sky hanging above the reels to help set a cheery mood, and you have all the stereotypical Irish luck symbols on the reels like clovers, harps, horseshoes, and more.
Yet despite all of the traditionalism in the design, you will notice it’s not quite there in the game’s setup. The layout features a total of 5 reels, but not all of them come with the same number of paylines. The two outermost reels each have 3 rows, whereas the middle three have 4; and what’s more, there are a tasty 576 paylines. Obviously, these aren’t subject to adjustments, and therefore the stakes might seem rather steep at a minimum bet of 40p per spin. The maximum bet is £80 per spin.
Special Features
Wild
The Wild can land in any position on the screen during gameplay, and when it does, it will have the capacity to substitute for the other symbols to help complete winning sequences. However, the Wild will not be able to replace the game’s Scatter or Bonus symbols.
Freespins
The only other bonus round in Land of Gold is the Lucky Spins Feature, and in order for you to trigger it you will have to keep your eyes on the Scatter symbol, as you need to land all 3 Scatters on the middle reels 2, 3 and 4 simultaneously. However, before the feature actually begins, you will have to spin the Wheel of Fortune. This will help you determine the exact number of Freespins you will get, as well as the multiplier they will come with. You can keep spinning the wheel until you hit the Collect segment, and what’s more, you can even retrigger this feature indefinitely by landing another 3 Scatter symbols on the reels.
Golden Coins Bonus
Keep your eyes open for the Bonus symbol landing on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously. This will trigger the Golden Coins Bonus feature which will take you to a new screen, and once there, you will have to make the leprechaun collect coins by jumping. You will continue to collect cash prizes until you finally reach the black crow, and at that point the feature will come to an end. Aside from coins, you will also collect four leaf clovers along the way, and if you manage to gather 3 of them you will win the Progressive Jackpot.
