Emerald Gold Slot Review

Emerald Gold Slot, Details & Wager Limits

The Emerald Gold slot is played on 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. To create a winner, land 3 or more matching symbols or wilds on a payline on adjoining reels from left to right.

You can try and land some of the Emerald Gold at stake levels that range from between 20p and £10 per spin. Click on the chip to the right of the reels then adjust the carousel up or down to set your stake level. The autoplay setting allows you to run between 10 and 100 spins.

The Emerald Gold RTP is 96.12% which is about average. The hit frequency rate of 35.81% means that on average, you’ll land a winner once every 2.79 spins. As you might expect from a slot that offers an enormous maximum prize of some 25,000 x stake, the Emerald Gold volatility is very high.

Theme – Audio and Design features – head to the Emerald Isle

Some slot developers really go overboard with the Irish theme. You can move for ‘begorrahs’, ‘top of the mornings’ and grinning leprechauns.  There’s still a strong tinge of green in the Emerald Gold slot but Just For the Win has dialled things down a little as far as design is concerned.

There’s a jaunty soundtrack playing while you spin. Again, it’s not too over the top. Head to the settings and you can adjust the sound and effects combination.

With rolling hills shrouded in mist in the background, the reels are made up of shamrocks, pints of stout, rings and horseshoes. More rewarding are the single, double and treble bars. Top of the bill as far as standard symbols go is the Celtic-style lucky 7s symbol. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these on a payline for a payout of 0.3, 1.5, 7.5 or 30 x your total stake.

Those same amounts are on offer from the golden W which is the game’s wild. This can replace all the standard symbols in a winning combination.

Emerald Gold has been optimised for play on all devices including smartphones, tablets and desktop computers. The simple design and gameplay work well on the smaller screen devices. The same super high variance action is available on all devices.

Emerald Gold Bonus Features

Like many slots with this theme, the gameplay in Emerald Gold is relatively straightforward. This isn’t a game that’s overloaded with extras. It can still pack a hefty payout punch though thanks to the scatters and the free spins round where collecting scatters can deliver awards of up to 25,000 x stake.

Scatters feature

The four-leaf clover is the game’s scatter symbol. In the base game, land 4 or more of these anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Scatters feature as well as win an instant cash payout. The more scatters that land on that single spin, the bigger the rewards:

• 4 scatters = 1 x total stake
• 5 scatters = 5 x total stake
• 6 scatters = 15 x total stake
• 7 scatters = 25 x total stake
• 8 scatters = 50 x total stake
• 9 scatters = 100 x total stake
• 10 scatters = 250 x total stake
• 11 scatters = 2,500 x total stake
• 12 scatters = 25,000 x total stake

Free Spins feature

The golden top hat is the game’s scatter. Land 3 golden top hats on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin and you’ll activate the Free Spins feature. You’ll then play 3 free spins. The gameplay is a little different during the free spins.

Each time four-leaf clover scatter symbol lands, it’s collected in a meter. The number of free spins resets to 3 whenever a scatter appears too.

When you’ve used up all your free spins, the collected four-leaf clover scatters are added together to give you your total prize. The amounts are the same as in the base game and start at 1 x stake for 4 collected scatters, rising to the enormous 25,000 x stake bonanza if you manage to amass 12 scatters during the free spins.

In some territories, you’ll be able to pay and buy the free spins feature. This costs 52 x your total stake. To take up this option, just click in the icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

Emerald Gold Review Summary – simple yet explosive Irish Luck fun

It’s quite unusual to find an Irish fortune themed slot that is extremely volatile. That’s just the combination you’ll find in the Emerald Gold slot though. The design and gameplay here are very straightforward but the Scatters feature can deliver some potentially knockout action. Be warned though. The volatility here is very high so tread carefully.

If you fancy a high variance take on a classic slot theme, that’s precisely what Just for the Win has created in Emerald Gold. Alternatively, Rainbow Riches Megaways by Barcrest offers more bonus features as does Nolimit City’s Gaelic Gold.
