Gold Oasis Slot Review

Gold Oasis RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Gold Oasis slot is played on a 5×3 reel setup and comes with 243 paylines. Wins are awarded for left-to-right symbol combinations of 3 or more and even on non-adjacent positions.

Stakes range from 20p up to £240 per spin. Catering to all bankrolls, simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button to adjust your total bet. This is the same with all Pragmatic slots, so if you’ve played one before you will know what to do. Turbo spins and autospins are also options in some countries but not all.

The Gold Oasis RTP is 96.06%, which is slightly above the industry average. But it’s important to note that other RTP versions are available for UK slot sites to use. These include 95.08% and 94.05% versions, so just make sure you’re playing the one you want to play at your chosen casino.

The slot has a hit rate of 1 in 4.47. In terms of the volatility, it’s as high as it can be and rated as 5 out of 5 by the provider.

The maximum win is 7,260 x the bet. This is best achieved in the Free Spins feature, but note that the max win probability is 1 in 7,110,533.

Theme – Enchanting Arabia

The Gold Oasis slot is your typical Arabian-themed slot in terms of how it looks. The reels are set in the desert with the wind blowing in the background and a man on a camel to the right. The visuals look great in my opinion, even if the symbols are fairly basic.

As you spin away, the soundtrack is very traditional and fits well with the theme. If you stop spinning, you’ll notice the sounds of the camels and the birds more. The changing symbols at the top if the reels is a nice touch too in terms of the sound effects used.

Land the Free Spins feature and the reels move inside to an area with lots of treasure. The audio is a lot more upbeat too and almost feels disco-like with hints of traditional instruments if that makes sense.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals are the lowest-paying symbols. The higher-paying ones include and jug and cup symbol, a bag of coins and 4 characters symbols. the 3rd male character symbol is the most lucrative, paying 0.75, 1.5 or 6 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination respectively.

Note that there is no Wild in the game. Here’s a useful list of the symbols you will come across and their payout info:

Gold Oasis Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features in the Gold Oasis slot game. Paying symbols can transform into other paying symbols, and there’s a Free Spins feature that can also be bought in some countries. Let’s run you through everything, starting with the Symbol Duel feature.

Symbol Duel feature

On any random spin in the base game, this feature can be triggered. When it happens, one of the paying symbols is randomly selected to replace all instances of up to 10 other paying symbols.

Free Spins feature

Land 3 Scatters in the base game of the Gold Oasis slot game to trigger this bonus feature. You will be awarded 5 free spins. During the round, all symbols will pay as 5 of a kind for all winning combinations.

Each Scatter that lands will be collected at the top of the reels, as you’ll see in the screenshot above. For every 2 Scatters collected, a duel between 2 random paying symbols will occur. The symbol winning the duel replaces all instances of the losing symbol on the reel strips for the duration of this bonus feature.

A maximum of 10 duels can happen, and every duel awards extra free spins as follows:

• First 5 duels award 2 extra free spins each
• Final 5 duels award 1 extra free spin each

Gold Oasis Slot Review Summary – duels are the key to bigger wins

When I first loaded the Gold Oasis slot, I was expecting a standard run-of-the-mill Arabian-themed game from Pragmatic much like Lamp of Infinity or Jasmine Dreams. But I was pleasantly surprised by the visuals, the gameplay and the bonus features in this one. It’s also worth noting that the max win potential here is much better than the 2 slots I’ve just mentioned.

I appreciated the 243 paylines straight away. It’s nice to see some variation in terms of mechanics rather than the used 10, 20 or 25 fixed paylines. I must admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of the base game without any of the features. It was a bit boring. However, that’s where the Symbol Duels come in. They’re a fantastic addition and I loved the fact that all symbols in the Free Spins feature pay as 5 of a kind for every winning combination. They’re not your typical bonus features and I think this is what makes the game stand out from a lot of the competition.

Overall, It was a fun slot to play, and I have to say that I enjoyed plenty of duels as I was spinning away. It took a while to land the Free Spins feature, and the bonus feature hit rate may be a little on the high side compared to other similar slots. However, once it did land I really enjoyed it. This release gets a solid rating from me, but don’t hesitate to try the free Gold Oasis demo and decide for yourself.
