Wings of Gold gives the player the kind of action that he would’ve found during World War 2, if he was a fighter pilot. Dedicated to the aces of the skies, Wings of Gold has all the cool parts of the air battles, and they complete the action with pin-up style models. Fighter planes have gotten some attention before from slot machines, and the same goes for World War 2 in general, but the design should be good enough to make it worth your time anyway.
While playing Wings of Gold, you may bet on up to 20 paylines. You can activate the Xtrawin feature to increase your chances, you can get wild symbols or scatters, and you can also get access to expanding wilds, free spins and to multipliers. Top payouts of up to 5,000x are offered.
Features of Wings of Gold
Wings of Gold gives you wilds, but they’re regular ones for most of the time, while during the free spins they become actually impressive, expanding and applying multipliers. Scatter symbols are also part of the deal, being the ones to trigger the free spins.
The Xtrawin feature is activated by the player, and it will cost a 50% extra to use. The main game gets expanding wilds instead of regular ones, while scatter payouts take into account the amount that includes the Xtrawin wager.
The Fighter Pilot is going to be present on the reels from time to time, a wild symbol which is reserved for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. It’s a regular wild during the base game, though if Xtrawin is used it can expand and cover the reel. A wild symbol doesn’t substitute for a scatter, but it works with any other icon.
Next, let’s take a look at the slot’s only scatter symbol, the Wings of Gold Logo. Appearing in random locations on the reels, it pays between 3x and 100x the bet value, when you have between three and five symbols.
Medal of Honour Bonus
This short bonus game will reveal the number of free spins that you’re getting. You pick one of the medals on the screen, and you can win up to 100 free spins. In addition, you get wild symbols which can expand even if the Xtrawin feature wasn’t used, plus they apply 2x multipliers to prizes won with their help.
Betting options and jackpots
The game’s 20 lines require a similar number of coins each round. You can use line bets that start at $0.20 and apparently they can go as high as $500 per line (I was not able to test that part). The total bet’s range should be between $0.20 and $10,000 per spin.
The game gives you a top jackpot which is valued at 5,000 coins, meaning 5,000 times the line bet.
Design and symbols
The design in Wings of Gold tries to give you the impression that you’re in a fighter plane in the sky during World War II. You see various types of planes on the reels, you have the pilot, the pin-up model and the line-up is complete with metal made poker cards.
Symbols: Fighter Pilot (wild), Wings of Gold Logo (scatter, 100x the wager), Pin-up Girl (5,000 coins), Green Bomber (1,000 coins), Blue Bomber (750 coins), Fighter Plane (500 coins), Ace (200 coins), King (200 coins), Queen (150 coins), Jack (150 coins), 10 (100 coins) and 9 (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s an attractive game, which fans of military themed slot machines will appreciate. It’s got the right look, and it appears to be a high roller’s title. The Xtrawin feature is also interesting, but unfortunately it’s quite expensive to use.
This Wings of Gold slot is offered by all online casinos with Playtech software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
