Blood And Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Welcome to our Blood and Gold slot review, where you will travel to a magical medieval kingdom and battle your enemies across five reels and 25 paylines. This is an atmospheric slot that goes from a beautiful setting to a thrilling conflict between powerful warriors. There is a lot to keep you entertained in this well-constructed Lightning Box slot.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

There is a certain kind of generic medieval kingdom that tends to appear in both fantasy novels and video slots, with castles, men in armour and various items of paraphernalia telling you that you are in the past. The Blood and Gold slot certainly draws on this tradition, from the impressively built fortification that stands on the otherwise green and pleasant mountain in the background to the warriors and weapons amongst the symbols on the reels.

Even the music is an appropriate sweeping melody from the olden times. At first, it is an almost idyllic past world; then, you spot the drama of the haughty queen - possibly even a sorceress? - with her sword and the loaded trebuchet. When the battle begins, things might become a little fiercer.

Blood And Gold RTP and variance

All slot games have an average return, which is not to say that all slot games are average. Since the first spin of the slot machine reels, the one thing we have been certain of is that there is no way to control where they land. The theoretical RTP of this slot, calculated over many games and sessions, is a more than solid 96.03 per cent. 

Some reassurance may come from the medium variance, which should balance the size of any wins with their frequency.

How to play Blood and Gold

Are you ready for battle?

1. Something common to most slot games, from an old-fashioned land-based machine to modern video slots, is the need to make a bet. Click the stack of coins and choose an affordable amount.
2. The best way to find out exactly what is going on is to check out the menu or info buttons to find the paytable.
3. From the paytable, you can navigate back to the bet page or to a settings page with separate on/off buttons for the sound and ambient music alongside an up/down volume control.
4. The sound can also be muted on the main screen.
5. If there is an autoplay button, it will be by the spin button. If it is not there, you have to spin one turn at a time. You can still have fun.
6. As with every slot machine, don’t forget to set a budget with loss, win and time limits so that your gaming stays fun and under your control.

Always play responsibly. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are available. 

Bet & win sizes

Even when you play for free, you will need virtual money to make your bets and measure your wins. In the Blood and Gold online slot, the bet can range from a 0.30 minimum and 1x bet multiplier to a 60.00 maximum and 200x bet multiplier.

Blood and Gold bonus features

Some of the best parts of modern video slots are how interesting they can make their bonus features. This is true in the Mystery Museum free slots and it is true in Blood and Gold.

Battle rounds

Find at least six shield symbols, and up to 15, to trigger the battle rounds. You have to pick your side: the blond warrior with the golden armour who leads the blue kingdom or the Viking berserker who is the red kingdom’s monarch.

Now battle can begin. After every spin, you need to match the flag of your kingdom two or three times if you want to claim victory. Lose the battle and you will lose a life. You only have three of these; however, you can win more with the shield heart symbol. Once all your lives are gone, the feature ends. Payouts come from the values displayed on the shields.

Blood And Gold review: our verdict

Blood and Gold is pleasing to the eye, with an aesthetic that will appeal to classic fantasy fans. What really sets it apart, even compared with other Lightning Box free online slot games, is the battle rounds. These add lots of excitement and winning opportunities.
