Gold Pile: New Years Gold

Are you ready to go on an adventure where you will get to experience New Year’s Eve from a whole different angle?

Gold Pile: New Year’s Gold by Rarestone Gaming software is a 5-reeled online one-armed bandit that comes with 25 paylines, shiny graphics and a relaxing soundtrack.

It also comes with not only special features such as Wild Symbol, Gold Pile™ Feature, Gold Wild Symbol, Free Games and Grand Chase Feature, but 3 Jackpots as well! 

Theme and Symbols

Right from the start, you will find yourself in a small Asian town that’s decorated by their traditional lanterns.

As you head over to the reels, you will come across some interesting symbols – scrolls, golden coins, decorations, drums and cymbals, all representing the symbols that will award more lucrative payouts.

While they could be done in a style that would fit better with the theme, the lower paying symbols A-9 still look rather decent and won’t ruin the otherwise great visual experience!

Betting Options and Other Functions

When it comes to betting options, you will find a plethora of choices at your disposal, enough to accommodate most play styles.

For the minimum bet, the provider decided to go with the option of 0.20 credits, which is great news for players that prefer exploring the reels with lower stakes.

On the other hand, if you are a more experienced player that enjoys rolling with higher bets, you will have that option as well, thanks to the betting range that goes up to 200 credits!

With an above-average return to player of 96.45% that’s paired with the highest win in the base game that will award 1,000 times your stake, it is safe to say that the payout potential is quite good as well, especially if we take the Grand jackpot that awards 4,000 times your stake into account!

Special Features

• Wild Symbol – The Wild Symbol acts as a substitute for all non-golden symbols except for the Scatter!
• Gold Pile™ – As there are gold variants of standard symbols, thanks to this feature, they can be found on the 5th reel! On the left side of the reels you will notice the Gold Meter that will show you the odds of a golden symbol appearing on the 5th reel!
• Gold Wild Symbol – Similar to the standard Wild, the Gold Wild symbol will act as a substitute for all standard symbols, including the golden ones as well, with the only exception being the Scatter!

For the duration of this feature, each Wild or Golden Wild symbol that you land on the reels will remain locked in its place until the end. You can also increase the remaining amount of your Free Games by 3 by landing 3 or more Scatters!
• Grand Chase Feature – This feature is triggered when you land 5 of a kind win that includes a golden symbol as well, awarding you with 3 spins.
