Golden Retriever, a Realtime Gaming slot machine, describes with its name perfectly what the game is all about. It’s the kind of slot where you don’t have to guess on what it is themed, with the Golden Retriever dog breed clearly being the choice. Golden Retrievers are among the most popular dog breeds in the world, a family pet that has loads of energy, is one of the most intelligent dogs and loves kids and playing around. The doggie theme selected for this game should be fun even for those that simply love dogs in general, not just for the many fans of this particular breed.
This RTG dog themed title offers you the standard 5 reels, with a just as average number of 20 paylines. The game will give you everything you could want, as far as features go, with the free spins and multipliers being triggered by wild or scatter symbols. Top prizes of up to $25,000 are on the line here, but only as long as you wager big enough. The random progressive jackpot could be an alternative.
Features of Golden Retriever
While the game makes use of the usual types of feature symbols, the way it uses the free spins and how it includes the Golden Retriever in it, makes for a great title, especially with multipliers going as high as 20x for payouts offered by the free games.
The first symbol we’re going to talk about though is the wild. The image used for it represents the hero of our title, the Golden Retriever. It’s a happy looking pup, which will only make appearances on the reels 2, 3 and 4. While substituting for other symbols, the Golden Retriever doubles the value of their prizes.
The Bone symbol is the second feature of the slot. Its first duty is to reward the player whenever multiple bones appear on the reels. The prizes will reach 250 times the amount you wagered on a single spin.
Free Games With Golden Retriever Feature
This part of the game is always a little more fun, since you’re not paying for it. A minimum of three bone symbols that appear in any position are going to trigger for you a round with 10 free games.
Golden Retriever Feature – this part of the free spins is based on the money you make as you play them. All that cash (if you’ve won anything) is put into a Prize Pool. Once the free games are done, the Golden Retriever appears and starts digging up a multiplier out of the ground. It can be as low as 2x, or as high as 20x. It is then applied to the amount you gathered during the free games and you get it all. A 20x multiplier applied to all winnings from the free spins sounds like an awesome thing to experience as you play this title.
Betting options and jackpots
Golden Retriever can be both a cheap and an expensive slot to play on. If you want to, wagers can reach $100 per spin, but just as easily you can use $0.01 per line and get away only with $0.20.
The jackpot is a multiple of the line wager, 5000x what you put in. If you maxed out the bet, it will mean $25,000 for you. With the minimum wager, it would only be $50. The random progressive jackpot will give you a few thousand dollars and you will know if you won it at the end of the spin.
Design and symbols
The game’s design is a bit silly looking, not the kind of quality you would see in a modern design. It reminds me of the kind of graphics you might see in a child’s coloring books, with crude images that manage to send the point across but will not impress anyone.
Symbols: Golden Retriever (wild), Bone (scatter, 250x the wager), Female Dog (2,500x), Dog House (1,000x), Dog Collar (500x), Water Bowl (250x), Ace/King (150x), Queen/Jack/Ten/Nine (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
As a fan of dogs and Golden Retrievers especially, you will enjoy spending some time with this game. The 20x multipliers possible during free spins are especially appealing. Too bad the graphics don’t manage to look as impressive.
This Golden Retriever slot is offered by all online casinos with RTG software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
