Gold King Introduction

Gold King is a relatively straightforward title from Play’n GO, built around a layout that feels very familiar for the Swedish slot provider. In a way, it even brings to mind their flag ship game Book of Dead. Gold King runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. It includes Super Spins, Golden Spins and Super Stacks, which we’ll cover later in the review.

The game includes just 3 premium symbols: Gold Bars, an Amulet and a King’s crown. Lower-value icons are the classic A, K, Q, J and 10. A Wild Symbol, shown as a Rose, can land in stacks of 6 or 7 on each reel. A wild line pays 125 times the bet, and if you hit a full screen of wilds the prize is 2500 times the bet.

3 Scatter symbols trigger the Super Spins feature. You start with 10 Free Spins, and the feature can be retriggered.

Gold King Features

The gameplay is very direct and avoids overly complex mechanics, so it’s easy to pick up. On any base game spin, the slot can randomly choose a symbol to cover 12 consecutive spaces on each reel, and on any spin a so called Golden Spin may appear. The Golden Spin is essentially a heart stopper that occurs when identical symbols land stacked on reels 1, 3 and 5. Reels 2 and 4 then enter a slow spin, with the hope of completing a full screen of that symbol.

The Super Spins is the Free Spins mode, activated when 3 Scatter symbols (Kings) land on reel 1, 3 and 5. 10 Free Spins are awarded at the start, and up to 10 extra Free Spins can be retriggered on any single spin.

• 1 Scatter symbol will award the player with 1 additional Free Spin
• 2 Scatter symbols will award the player 2 additional Free Spins
• 3 Scatter symbols will award the player 10 additional Free Spins

There is no cap on how many Free Spins can be triggered again.

In each Super Spins round, one random A-K-Q-J-10 symbol becomes super stacked, occupying 8 consecutive spaces on every reel. Wilds also land in stacked form on the reels, covering 6 or 7 consecutive spaces.

While Super Spins is active, the top-paying Crown, Amulet and Gold Bar symbols expand to fill the entire reel. These symbols only expand when the expansion will result in a winning combination. Before any expansion happens, wins that involve A-K-Q-J-10 symbols are paid, along with wins made up exclusively of Wild symbols.

Gold King Conclusion

Gold King, as noted earlier, is a fairly simple slot that you can start playing right away without needing to learn complicated features. If you enjoy games like Book of Dead, there’s a strong chance this one will appeal to you too. With unlimited Free Spins retriggers and stacked wilds, the game also offers some solid potential.
