Gold Creek Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Matrix Studios invite us to mine for gold and gems in Gold Creek, an online video slot featuring the Matrix Superpays mechanic with 500,000 ways to win on a 9x6 reel set that has varying symbols on each reel and a cart row above the main reel set.

There is a wild symbol in the shape of a glamourous mining companion, and this substitutes for all other symbols.
There are free spins available, and these are triggered when four golden nuggets appear in the cart row. 

More free games can be won by landing at least 3 consecutive wins in the base game. During this phase of the game, players get to choose between an expanded or roaming wild, both of which enhance your chances of winning.

Finally, there is a progressive Gold Pot Jackpot available.

In Gold Creek, there are ten paying symbols. The top-value symbols are four gemstones: amethyst, emerald, ruby and citrine. These are supplemented by 6 playing card symbols ranging from Ace to 9.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

We are invited to go deep underground in search of riches with a wildly glamorous assistant in Gold Creek. 

There are lots of paths to take to riches, and we set off in a dark cave with glistening golden stalagmites rising from the floor to the side of the reels, where our companion awaits.

The symbols are brightly designed and stand out from the gloom of the reel set, and the golden nuggets in the cart reel are also clearly visible when they land.

The soundtrack is an eerie orchestral number adding to the tension, and we can hear the thunder of falling rock as the symbols cascade down from above.

If you would prefer a lighter Irish-themed take on a golden treasure hunt, try Slot's O Gold slot, available to play for free here at Slots Temple. 

Gold Creek RTP and Variance 

The official RTP of Gold Creek is a very healthy 96.74%, and we found the game demonstrated high variance in extended play. Players may wait for regular wins, but be prepared for mega prizes in the free spins mode.

Gold Creek Review 

This is an attractive-looking game from Matrix Studios, who have a great reputation for the design of their slots. It comes packed with features, and we found the free spins particularly rewarding with some mega wins available.

High rollers will be attracted by the impressive RTP, wide betting range, massive number of paylines and the high variance.

Novice gamers may find it a little intimidating, but it is a great introduction to a more sophisticated game. We can highly recommend it.
