Ghouls Gold Slots
Do you fancy and appreciate some simple classical gameplay? Then welcome to Ghouls Gold, a 3 reel online video slot game released by well known developers Betsoft in August of 2011. The theme is most obviously Halloween as can be seen by the numerous animated characters that inhabit the reels along with nostalgic 7’s which form part of the retro aesthetics of traditional 3 reel slot games. There is also a unique twist in the gaming mechanics which provides players with a lot more winning possibilities introducing a hold reel function.
A ghostly gaming grid brings 3 reels with 3 rows and 5 fixed paylines. The background shows a gloomy haunted house that can be seen on a moonlit night in winter with silhouetted bare trees ramping up the dark and eerie atmosphere.
To begin gaming bets will need to be made from a minimum of just $0.02 per spin and up to a maximum bet of $15.00 per spin. An autoplay button allows for punters to set the number of spins the game runs for. This can be a useful option for those who like to keep within a set gaming budget.
Gameplay is simple and super easy to get to grips with as the functions are basic and intuitive with three matching symbols needed to make a win. From the first spin players will notice something a little different as each new spin starts with three gaming symbols filling the bottom row of the reel. Pressing the hold button under each symbol expands the icon over all the three rows and another press of the spin button changes the symbols positions so punters will get one free spin during which all three rows of the symbols will be filled. This can further enhance payout opportunities.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 93.00% and this game plays at medium volatility. This volatility suits every kind of punter as it provides a steady and consistent flow of medium sized payouts along with the chance of more significant prizes.
A pile of golden coins clearly labelled wild! is the wild symbol where it substitutes for any gaming symbols apart from the jackpot bonus symbol to make winning combinations. Three of the ghouls appearing on a payline triggers the jackpot bonus round.
The other gaming symbols are realised in colourful 2D imagery that falls on the basic side and some are also animated. They include the white ghouls, a dark haunted house, a bag of cash, a bubbling cauldron, two silhouetted bats against a moon, a flickering red candle, a green slimey 7 and a yellow seven which provide payouts of 100x , 50x, 20x, 10x, 5x, 3x and 1x respectively.
The main bonus game is the click-me feature which can be triggered by landing three ghoul symbols on any payline. Once this is activated gamers will have to click and catch the ghouls that float around the screen to collect as many cash prizes as they can until the timer runs out. The ghouls take on different colours that represent different values and for a top prize they will be aiming to click as many colours as possible.
Additionally, Ghouls Gold is linked to a progressive jackpot which is an attractive feature that can lead to some substantial wins as it is accumulative in the prizes it provides as players make bets on other connected slot games. Three of the bag of coins labelled Jackpot! are needed in order to win this jackpot and these symbols can also be duplicated with the hold reel function when they appear on a paid spin.
Ghouls Gold slot game is fully mobile optimised. This means that it plays not only from a desktop browser but also on any compatible mobile smartphone or tablet device such as iOS Apple, Android or Samsung which makes it perfect to play anytime and anywhere irrespective of screen size.
