The Golden Inn Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Will you be blessed with the luck of the Irish in this Nucleus Gaming slot set on the Emerald Isle? Will there be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or will the four-leaf clovers leave you feeling wild? Find out by trying this five-reel slot with 80 fixed paylines that offers an entertaining experience and plenty of Irish charm.

The reels have a barrelful of Irish symbols, including clover, horseshoes, leprechaun hats and mugs of beer, along with traditional single, double and triple bar icons. There are also the standard playing card symbols, which take care of the lower value wins in the game.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

The great graphics are one of the major features of this game, as is the way the theme is carried through from the Irish inn setting to the symbols on the reels. The soundtrack combines to create a cozy atmosphere and the idea of a pub in which you would not mind spending a little time. A jauntier soundtrack could have been used to boost the excitement levels and feelings of enjoying the craic; however, if you do not like the choice on offer, you can always turn it off. If you like this theme, you may also want to give the Finn's and the Swirly Spin slot a try.

The Golden Inn RTP and variance

A return to player average for this choice of Nucleus Gaming demo slots has not been released, but it is thought to be around the typical level for this type of game. This means it is likely to be in the region of 96 per cent, although this offers no guarantee of any particular wins. 

 
How to play The Golden Inn

The Golden Inn is a simple slot to play, but here are a few tips to get you started:

1. The central arrow circle is the spin to play button. This becomes a square once the reels are in motion. Hit this to stop the reels early.
2. Access the main menu and hit the settings gear symbol to decide whether you want the background music and sound effects on or off. This is also where you will find the turbo play option.
3. The right arrow button enables you to choose your autoplay settings. You can decide how many games you want the slot to play automatically and how much you want to bet per spin. The average setting is 0.60 per game.

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

You can start spinning for 0.10 per game or bet the maximum of 20.00 per spin and hope that at least three matching symbols line up for a win. Wins depend on how much you choose to stake, but here is an idea of what you could get for five of a kind if you decide to bet 0.60 per spin:

• Pot of gold = 6.00
• Leprechaun’s hat = 3.00
• Mug of beer = 1.50
• Sword hilt = 0.90
• Triple bar = 0.72
• Double bar= 0.72
• Single bar = 0.48
• Diamonds, hearts, spades= 0.30
• Clubs = 0.24

The Golden Inn bonus features

Wild

The traditional Irish lucky symbol of the four-leaf clover is the wild in this game. It can replace other symbols except for the horseshoe scatter in both the base and bonus games.

Scatter

The golden horseshoes are the slot’s scatters, with three, four or five of these triggering a free spins bonus. 

Free spins

The number of free spins you are awarded will depend on how many scatters you land, with 8, 12 and 20 free games up for grabs.

Multipliers

During the free spins bonus round, the clover wilds can land and deliver 2x and 3x multipliers. You could even land more than one of these, leading to a big boost to the potential prize pot you could amass.

The Golden Inn review: our verdict 

If you like the idea of spending time in a traditional Irish pub without needing to leave your sofa or train seat, this could be a game for you. It is not the most original game and the bonus features will not set the world on fire, but there is plenty of Irish charm on offer. 

The graphics are great and the theme is carried through well, although you do pay for the good graphics with the amount of time it takes to load the game. Having said this, the game did load faster on our mobile devices, so it may depend on the equipment you are using. On all devices and in different casinos, the game was a little glitchy, with ‘network errors’ causing some enforced breaks. We may have just been unlucky, but be prepared just in case.

The betting range of The Golden Inn slot is not the widest for a Nucleus slot; however, there is still a decent amount of choice and the likes of the autoplay and fast-play functions insure that you can tailor your spinning experience for maximum excitement and enjoyment.
