Golden Casino is a video slot from Espresso Games, released in December 2015 and inspired by the classic style of the 1920s. The reels are framed by golden art deco decoration, and the presentation has a touch of Gatsby.<\/p>\n
It is a classic, old-school game with modern surprises. It has 18 paylines, a listed RTP of 95.21% and medium volatility, and instead of free spins it offers casino-themed bonus games: blackjack, roulette and a dice pick.<\/p>\n
This guide covers how Golden Casino plays, what its symbols pay, how the wild and dice scatter work and what the three bonus games do. The free demo on WinPockets lets you try it with virtual credits first.<\/p>\n

Use the command bar under the reels to pick your wager and choose how many paylines to play. You can play nine lines or all 18, and a coin multiplier of one to five lets you raise the stake further. Total bets run from AU$0.18 to AU$36.<\/p>\n
You win by landing identical symbols on activated paylines. A Max button puts everything on the highest bet, and Autoplay repeats the same wager. Wins are paid automatically.<\/p>\n
Rewards depend on both your wager and the symbols combined across the reels. The 5 x 3 layout with 18 lines is easy to follow, and the paytable values shown for the game are based on a bet of one coin.<\/p>\n
There are 13 symbols in total: nine regular symbols and four specials, covering the wild, a bet multiplier and two types of gamble bonus round.<\/p>\n
The 10, J, Q, K and A are the most common and least valuable symbols, with three, four or five of a kind paying between 5 and 300 credits. The rest of the paytable is made up of red, green and blue casino tokens and a golden credit card, which can pay for a combination of just two symbols. The maximum reward is 1,000 credits.<\/p>\n
The wild is an interesting one. It replaces the tokens and the credit card, and any combination it helps complete is multiplied by 2. The dice is a scatter that pays in any position.<\/p>\n
Collect three dice scatters to trigger a bonus game where you pick to reveal an extra win multiplier. The other two bonus games are casino classics: in the Blackjack bonus you choose a hand and try to beat the dealer for up to 5 times your wager.<\/p>\n
In the Roulette bonus you spin the wheel to win a number of bonus spins, then select a winning number and colour. With luck you can end up with plenty of free spins. The bonus games can be a little difficult to trigger, but they are worth the effort.<\/p>\n
The RTP is 95.21%, which is an average figure, and volatility is medium. That means medium-sized wins at a medium frequency, which suits players with a limited budget who are happy to take some risk.<\/p>\n
The top payout is 1,000 credits on a one-coin bet. With the coin multiplier at its maximum of five, that comes to 5,000 coins. There is no progressive jackpot.<\/p>\n
The reels take up almost the whole screen, framed with golden art deco decoration on all sides, and the command bar is built in at the bottom to look like a giant slot machine. The overall look is simple, stylish and focused on the symbols.<\/p>\n
Golden Casino is available on browsers and on mobile and tablet devices, so you can play it at home or on the move.<\/p>\n
Golden Casino is a classic slot built on a popular theme that still manages to include a good selection of bonus features. The blackjack and roulette bonuses are a fun twist on the usual free spins.<\/p>\n
It suits players who like a retro casino look and a game with a bit of variety. Anyone who wants a big progressive jackpot or a high RTP should look elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
