During the Second World War, the world has sent many heroes to their graves. The combats were bloody and they were fought on the ground, at the sea and in the air! It was a courageous move to enter the fighter jets. Aircraft at the time weren’t that developed although they were improved as the days passed by. Still, knowing that you could be knocked down at any point was terrifying enough. To pay the honors to the heroes in the skies, Playtech came up with a video slot called Wings of Gold.
Theme
This game is all about the pilots of the war. The reels cover the entire screen and the background is a blue sky with white clouds. At least you won’t steer through the storm! Meanwhile the reels are divided by a single line and the symbols are large and visible.
Speaking of the symbols, they can be divided into low- and high-paying ones. The low-paying icons are 9-through-A playing card signs made of steel. Those that bring more money are airplanes and jets. There are some other special symbols that will be mentioned later on.
Although the icons don’t look too complicated they are pleasant to the eye. The sounds are heard you spin the wheels and the jet engine roars each time a winning combination is formed!
Betting Options and Other Functions
This release contains three rows and five reels. The paylines are shown on the sides and there are 20 of them, but they can be manipulated by clicking on the number you wish or by selecting lines under the reels. “Bet per Line” changes your wagering and the options you have include 0.20, 1 and 5, meaning that the highest bet in this game is limited to 100!
After that there’s nothing else to do but press the “Spin” button which is positioned in the right corner. Or, you can always opt for “Auto Start” that appoints the computer to spin the reels for you. The number of automatic games ranges from 1 to 99.
Features
The skies may seem empty at first, but a large number of features and bonuses are hiding behind the clouds. Things that will help you win are:
- Xtrawin
- Medal of Honour Bonus
- Wilds and Expanding Wilds
Xtrawin is a feature that can be activated and deactivated at any time by one click. By choosing this type of gameplay, you agree to your wagering being increased by 50% and to have the paylines locked at 20. The skies will become golden, but more importantly, wilds become expanding wilds no matter at the position they appear on. Xtrawin improves the game payout!
In the meantime, Medal of Honour Bonus is triggered when three or more “Wings of Gold” icons land on the reels. You need to select one medal which then appears a random number of times on a special set of reels. And the more it pops up, the more free games you win. The highest number of free games that can be won is 100!
That is not all:
In this round, all wilds turn into expanding wilds and double the wins when their role is activated. The free games are played on a differed set of reels while the feature can be retriggered.
Last but not least, the wild symbol, which is a pilot, can land only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and it substituted any symbol but the bonus. It acts as the expanding wild in Xtrawin and the bonus round.
Our Take on Wings of Gold
Although warfare is horrible and it triggers the worst in people a lot of things can be learned from it. In the Wings of Gold, it can even be beneficial since you can win hefty rewards! This video slot offers a complete experience with entertaining design, a lot of features and the possibility to win superb prizes.
