Gold Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Big Time Gaming are celebrating 10 years in the industry, which has led them to revamp one of their earlier slots named Gold. The theme of the game renames the same and is based on the classic 1980s hit Gold from the group Spandau Ballet. Players will find a very classy and sophisticated look to this slot when it loads up, with the soundtrack of the famous song serenading you throughout as you play.
Switching our focus over to the paytable on Gold Megaways™, we find the regular royal symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, and Ace representing the lower values. Making up the higher value pays are the ring, credit card, car, and watch, with a 6 of a kind win paying 2x, 3x, 3x, and 10x respectively. On reels 2 – 5 it’s possible for the wild symbol to land in view that comes in the form of a briefcase. These can contain both normal wilds and wilds that have a multiplier value of x3.
Those wishing to try out Gold Megaways™ for real money can do so from a very budget friendly minimum amount of €0.05 a play, up to a maximum of €20 a spin. This highly volatile game comes attached with a generous RTP of 96.42%, which is considerably above the average we are now seeing across online slots as a whole.
Base Game & Modifiers
Gold Megaways™ has a 6 reel set up, and due to the Megaways™ engine these reels can contain anywhere between 2 – 7 symbols on them. This allows the game the possibility to generate up to 117,649 paylines on any base game spin. As you’d likely expect from BTG, there is a whole lot more to come from this slot to keep the entertainment levels at the max. Let’s find out more about these below:
Cascading Reels
Cascading or tumbling reels are an important factor in a number of Megaways™ Slots, and this is certainly the case with Gold Megaways™ as it is present in both the base game and the free spin feature. Upon landing a win on the reels from left to right, the game will eliminate the winning symbols from the reels and the symbols above any spaces that this leaves behind will drop down to fill them. This in turn leaves additional spaces, which are filled through new symbols falling down from above. Keep a look out for extra scatters falling into view, as this can be a great way to trigger the free spins.
Gold Megaways Free Spin Feature
The highlight of the slot is of course the free spin feature and landing 3 scatter symbols in view will award 12 free spins. Each additional scatter that lands thereafter will add an extra 4 free spins onto your starting total. Before the bonus begins though you are taken to the Megaways Wheel where it will be determined how many Megaways you will start the feature with. This can award up to 117,649, so the higher the number you receive the better.
As the free spins kick off you will notice a number at the bottom of each of the reels. This represents how many symbols are currently in play on that reel. Every time a BTG Coin lands on a reel it will then expand in size by one row, which will reflect in the number shown at the bottom of the reel. The aim is to land as many coins as possible and try to get each of the reels to their maximum expansion size of 10 rows.
If a reel does reaches 10 rows in size then players will be awarded with 8 extra free spins, and every time a wild now lands on the reel it will be guaranteed to reveal a x3 multiplier. If you can get all of the reels to max out at 10 rows high then you’ll be playing with a massive 1,000,000 paylines.
Win Exchange Feature
A new mechanic from BTG is the Win Exchange which comes into play if players can hit a win of over 20x their stake. Any wins achieved that are between 20x – 70x can be gambled via the BTG wheel, where landing in the green section will award the feature and 12 free spins, whereas landing in the red section will end the gamble and all winnings will be lost. Wins of over 70x can either be collected, or instantly exchanged for 12 free spins and the bonus round.
Gold Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
For a 10 year anniversary slot, Gold Megaways takes BTG back to its roots and the early days, long before the success of the Megaways™ engine and countless other classic titles. There are certainly elements of Wheel of Fortune Megaways™ in this game and most certainly White Rabbit Megaways™, but it in my opinion with the new Win Exchange feature it’s a stand alone title in its own right, that’s well worth playing.
