Golden Nugget Slot Machine
The Golden Nugget slot game is split into two different in-play modes, the top version and the basic mode. Players will notice that the main set of reels are on display in the centre, and used for both modes of the game. The top version offers players 5 paylines to utilise to their own advantage, while the basic mode offers just the one winning line that pierces through the centre of the 3 reels.
Red or Black?
One feature that is included in the game and offered as an in-play option for players is the red or black choice. This is on offer exclusively in the basic mode of the game and allows players to try and double their original winnings.
The process of this is simple, players will be asked to choose either red or black (no surprises there!). Depending on what card is eventually dealt and the suit of it, players will either double or lose their original payout amount. Choose wisely! This feature is perfect for those that want a slice of risk to their online casino experience. What colour is it going to be?
It's Time to Go to the Wild West
The Golden Nugget's graphics are superb, and perfectly suit the theme that this game is trying to display. It sets players in the heart of the Wild West, with whisky bottles, cowboy hats and guns lying around on the screen.
However, one thing that is synonymous with Simbat games is the traditional icons that appear in the paytable. This is no different in the Golden Nugget slot game as players will notice that the last valuable icons that could tumble down the reels are cherries, lemons, oranges, tomatoes or clovers. This does somewhat dampen the display on the screen, but players will still be impressed by the overall graphics of the game.
One interesting feature that is evident on the slot game is the fact that there is just the one set of reels. In the majority of Simbat's games, especially those that include a top and basic modes, there are normally two separate reels. However Golden Nugget is different as only one group of 3 reels are on show on the screen, leaving more pace to display their Wild West theme. This works, as we’re sure players will appreciate once they open the game.
Basic Mode Includes a Mystery prize...
Hidden somewhere in the reels and the paytable is the Golden Nugget icon. In the basic version of the game, three of them appearing anywhere would lead to a mystery prize worth anything between 2 and 125 credits! That’s a decent amount for those that stake just one credit on each spin – the only amount allowed on the basic mode version of the game.
One way that players can try and increase their chances of winning is via the hold buttons that are located at the bottom of the screen. This feature allows competitors to hold a reel should there be a valuable set of icons on there. For example, if there are two Golden Nugget symbols appearing in the same reel, players would be advised to hold that reel. If another one appears in any of the other two reels – which will continue to spin – players win the mystery prize! Now that's a tactic worth thinking about deploying when the icons are worth holding!
Free Spins Up for Grabs in the Top Mode
The Top game will only accept bets of either 5 or 10 credits per spin –ideal for those that rather to wager more on their slot machine games. Those that decide to stake the maximum on each spin, 10 credits, will notice that a star symbol can become active in their reels. This is exclusive for the 10 credits per spin in-play and it can become a matching symbol of any kind if that helps players to create a winning combination. This icon is one that players will no doubt be thrilled to see when it comes tumbling down the reels.
The Golden Nugget symbol can also appear in the bet 5 or 10 options. In bet 5, it offers a free re-spin of the second reel if there is one in both reels 1 and 3. If two appear anywhere in the bet 10 option, players will be able to re-spin the whole reel and increase the chances of getting three Golden Nuggets, something that will lead to a huge payout. That’s what players want when enjoying a slot machine, and Golden Nugget is no different!
