Chests of Gold: Power Combo

Chests of Gold appears to be a slot where Games Global, via designers All41 Studios, have decided to take a trip back to medieval times. And you could describe the game as giving off Robin Hood-style vibes too, which isn’t a bad thing. Either way, chests full of gold are available in this slot with 100 paylines, which should be enough to catch everyone’s attention.

Players can spin the five reels of Chests of Gold from 0.20 to 20.00, which doesn’t give loads of room to manoeuvre, but again this is nicely balanced off by the max prize in this video slot being worth 11,650x the bet. And with wilds, scatters, free spins and more available on the feature front, there’s much to like about this Games Global distribution. All41 have given us great games in the past, like 11 Coins of Fire and Dia Del Mariachi Megaways. This slot doesn't disappoint.

When you break the theme down more, it feels like both Robin Hood and medieval elements are in play, which is an excellent combination and one that many players spinning the reels of this online slot will recognise.

The archer is the main character in Chests of Gold, which is fitting where the Robin Hood component is concerned. But what’s really interesting about the artwork is that rather than characters on the reels appearing cartoon-like, they’re akin to headshots of actors from a movie.

Other symbols on the reels aside from the game’s characters include various chests, bags of gold, arrow bags, archer boards and royals. For a change, every icon in some way, shape or form fits with the theme, which is great.

The wild symbol in Chests of Gold will work exclusively as a replacement icon for other regular symbols appearing on the reels. It can’t payout itself as it can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. But it’s still useful throughout.

As always, it’s the free spins feature that everyone should want to gain access to in this game, and it’s possible when treasure chests land in view. It’s important to note that there are several types of treasure chests, and they can deliver different variations of free spins and modifiers.

The Nudging Wilds variation will see players have five free spins to work through, and this will happen on a 5x6 grid with 100 active paylines present. Stacked wilds will come into play, and when they’re partially visible, they will be nudged and then cover the reel in its entirety.

There’s also a jackpot version of the free spins feature. Ten free spins are brought into play, and players must collect the letters of a word to bag one of the jackpots that range from Mini to Grand, and they’re worth up to 10,000x the bet. There’s even time for a multiplier variant of free spins, where the wins in five free spins can see multipliers worth between 2x and 10x apply.

Chests of Gold is a slot that may not seem like it has much to offer in the base game, but boy, does it deliver in the bonus features. The inclusion of multiple variants of the free spins feature is a great idea. And who is going to complain about having the chance to bag fixed jackpot prizes worth up to 10,000x?
