Super Golden Spins

Super Golden Spins: Slot Overview

If you're into old-school slots doused in a coating of glitzy flash, then Pragmatic Play's Super Golden Spins might catch your eye. The studio has taken a classic 3-reel setup and covered it in neon lights, lashings of gold, and dunked it in funk. Visually, the game has no desire to be subtle, but mechanically, heads up, it is a bit thin. The main event is a dual spinning prize wheel feature, though some unorthodox winning combinations in the base game might hold the attention for a while. Or not. Super Golden Spins is a game with not a whole lot going on beneath the neon and gold, but for those gamblers who are all about swift simplicity, there might be enough here to get the pulse a-racing.

Hopefully you're not sensitive to bright lights if you're thinking about taking Super Golden Spins for a whirl, as it's a slot that gleams and shines at you from just about every direction. The background is made up of beams of light, the play area is a golden-framed grid, and two golden-rimmed prize wheels spin to either side of it. Hey, some may love the gaudy sensory overload, and more power to them. The soundtrack is about what you'd expect, too: funky, upbeat, complementing Super Golden Spins' looks with energetic audio. Generic? A bit. It's hard not to be when making a slot like this.

Super Golden Spins is a 3x3 game, with 9 paylines landing winning combinations of 3-of-a-kind. Not necessarily matching symbols, though, as there are a lot of possible winning combinations. The slot operates at a low volatility, with a maximum RTP of 96.55%. You might have to pinch yourself seeing a Pragmatic Play slot with no special bets or feature buys, as the one and only betting option in Super Golden Spins is choosing a stake, where the options range from $/€0.10 to $/€250.

The symbols in Super Golden Spins are bars, double bars, triple bars, sevens on bars, sevens, x2, x3, x5, and x7. There are a ton of different combinations, all listed on the paytable. For here, let's just say that the lowest value win (any bar) awards players 0.5x their bet, while at the other end of the scale, hitting the x2, x7, x2 combination pays 700x the bet.

Super Golden Spins: Slot Features

In the base game, landing 3 scatter symbols triggers the bonus feature. During the feature, two wheels possessing money values and multipliers appear. Money values range from 5x to 100x the bet, while the multiplier values are x2 to x27. Both wheels spin and stop on one award. If both wheels award a money value, they are added together and paid out.

If one wheel lands on money and the other on a multiplier, the multiplier is applied to the money value and the total is paid out. If both wheels land on multipliers, the multipliers multiply between themselves, then the result is multiplied by the bet and paid.

Super Golden Spins: Slot Verdict

Even when trying not to judge a book by its cover, the enjoyment levels achieved by Super Golden Spins were about what they were expected to be after the initial look over everything. That could actually be a good thing for the 'what you see is what you get' crowd, though, to be fair, there are one or two minor surprises to uncover. The base game tries something different with its winning combinations, for one thing. Rather than simply requiring three-of-a-kind only, there is a stack of combinations involving the various symbols. Doing it this way makes it slightly harder to track what is going on. On the plus side, the 700x symbol combination is high for a game like this, any game really, while the low volatility should appeal to players who prefer a steadier pace rather than chasing infrequent monster payouts, theoretically speaking.

The dual prize-wheel bonus also deviates from the norm. Instead of a hold 'n' win round or a free spins feature, two wheels spin, then there's your prize. It's short, to the point, and matches the paciness of the game in general. Prizes from the wheels aren't enormous. At best, an x27 multiplier combined with the 100x money prize results in the game's 2,700x the bet win cap. Watching two wheels determine whether you get cash values, multipliers, or a combination of both might be fun for a while, though the novelty may die off quite fast as well.

In some subtle ways, Super Golden Spins is an unorthodox little game. Subtle ways, mind you; it's not the next great leap in online gambling. Players who like fast-moving, low-volatility slots with rudimentary mechanics and flashy presentation might find that particular itch successfully scratched. The appeal is limited, though and after peeling away the gold and the dazzle, what's left is a pretty threadbare experience.
