The Olympic Games is one of the most popular sporting events of all time. Athletes go to try and grab gold and spectators cheer on their favourites. Golden Games is an Olympic themed slot which puts players in the thick of the action, as it includes wilds, scatters and free spins. The maximum jackpot stands at £500,000 which is an impressive amount even by Olympian standards.
Golden Games Slot Theme
A multicoloured banner streams across the top of the screen, either side of the golden logo. Other reviewers have compared the graphics to that of a much older slot which we'd agree with in some respects. They aren't lacklustre by any means but instead reflect a more traditional approach with their classic lifeline styling as opposed to modern slots which often characterise everything.
As this is an athletics themed game it comes as no surprise to find icons which either show athletes in action or the equipment they need to compete in their sport. At some point you will see stopwatches, basketballs, tennis rackets, free weights, the Olympic flame, discus throwers, gold medals, swimmers, cyclists, boxers, sprinters and javelin throwers.
Betting Options and More Functions
A slot with such a large maximum jackpot also commands a sizable top bet but that doesn't mean low stakes players can't get involved. Players can choose any number of bets ranging from a single penny up to £1,250 using the buttons below the reels.
If you win a prize you can choose to gamble it using the button below the reels. You must choose whether the next card will be red or black and if you choose correctly your prize is doubled. You can keep on betting in this way up to the £2,500 maximum limit.
Golden Games Slot Features
The Gold Medal is the prize every top athlete aims to win and on this slot players will covet it too because it is wild. This ensures it can substitute for other icons if a winning combination is possible for any symbol except the bonus athlete and flame bonus.
Scatter wins are awarded when two to five athlete icons appear on the reels. Players can expect to win 1x, 5x, 25x or 250x the total triggering bet if two, three, four or five icons appear respectively. This is the only symbol which behaves in this way as all others must appear from the left most column to right (you also need three or more with other icons to win a prize).
The shining beacon known as the Olympic Flame appears on reels one and five. Players can bag themselves 20 free spins with double multipliers if it appears on these reels simultaneously.
Our Take on Golden Games
With an impending summer games quickly approaching we're in no doubt that players will want to play this themed game. It's versatile in betting stakes and entertains with a variety of features and let's not forget that whopping jackpot. Take on the best (and hopefully smash them all) by trying Golden Games for yourself.
