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

Introduction

ELK’s resident explorer Kane is back, heading off on another adventure to recover lost gold. This time, he’s reading to the Osaka Bay to retrieve the precious cargo that was on board a plane that disappeared in the 1950s.

The game is full of exciting bonus features, including free spins, expanding reels, extra wilds and more.

Theme and Graphics

We love that ELK Studios always equips its slots with thorough backstories. You can tell in the design and soundtrack of each ELK slots game that every detail is well thought out and Pacific Gold is no exception.

Of course, the game looks great with reels that are situated amongst the plane wreckage. Symbols feature Oni-style masks, and the soundtrack is rich and layered with Japanese gongs and drums.

Pacific Gold RTP and Variance

ELK’s Pacific Gold slot has a payout percentage of 95%. We like to see RTPs of 96% or higher, but this tends to be the standard level for  slots in the Gold series.

Pacific Gold is also a medium/high variance level slot - rated a 7/10 on ELK’s volatility scale. It has a win rate of 18.2% and a top prize of 10,000x.

How to Win

Like all slots in the Gold series, like Ecuador Gold and Zulu Gold, Pacific Gold begins with 4096 ways to win. Whenever you hit a winning combination, the winning symbols disappear and new symbols fall into their places and add another row of symbols to increase the number of ways to win.

The maximum number of ways to win in ELK’s Pacific Gold free slot is 262,144.

Reel Modifiers

You’ll find a number of intriguing bonuses while spinning the reels on the Pacific Gold demo.

• Big Blocks: when large block symbols land on the reels, they will smash all of the symbols below it to get to the bottom of the screen.
• Pacific Waves: a horizontal stack of matching symbols that create wilds in any empty spaces below them
• Ghost Box: this symbol collects all symbols that are part of a win. It then explodes to destroy the symbols around it and spits the winning symbols back out to form a new win.
• Power Stack: these are stacks of four symbols that are directly on top of each other. The number of symbols in the stacks increases by 2 every time they are not involved in a win.

Pacific Gold Free Spins and Bonuses

When you land three bonus symbols on the reels, you’ll trigger the Pacific Gold free spins bonus. The number of free spins you receive depends on the number of scatters that land:

• 3 scatters for 10 free spins
• 4 scatters for 15 free spins
• 5 scatters for 20 free spins
• 6 scatters for 25 free spins

During this bonus, every time the number of ways to wins increase, a safety level is activated for the next single row of symbols. So, the reels won’t reset to 4096 ways to win in this round.

There is also the added bonus of Pacific Waves landing on every spin.

Pacific Gold Slot Review

ELK Studios’ Pacific Gold slot is very impressive – both in terms of design as well as gameplay. It features detailed, stunning graphics plenty of unique features that really keep things interesting.

Pacific Waves Are A Great Addition

With every new slot in the Gold series, ELK introduces new features – and Pacific Waves is one that we haven’t seen before. It works really well with the format of the game and appears often enough that it feels like it makes a difference.

The Ghost Box and the Power Stacks, on the other hand, don’t come around very frequently.

Is It Worth a Spin?

We’d recommend giving ELK’s Pacific Gold demo slot a spin – especially if you’re a fan of the series. The game delivers action in an atmospheric setting and offers great winning potential.
