City of Gold (Vela Gaming) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Immerse yourself in a glittering world of golden nuggets, tikis, and pocket watches in this Vela Gaming slot. Enjoy bonuses such as double and triple scatter wins as you take advantage of what the makers promise are golden opportunities in this 5-reel, 30-payline slot.

City of Gold (Vela Gaming) Theme and Storyline

It is quite hard to pin down the theme of this choice of Vela Gaming online slots. The music sounds like it should accompany a Chinese-themed game, while the name suggests it should be grouped with the likes of the El Dorado Infinity Reels slot as a South American-themed slot. The circular pyramids which are the backdrop to the reels indicate that the action could be set in the latter area, although the Tiki symbols then take you on a journey to New Zealand and the land of the Mauri’s. We’re saying that City of Gold is an Aztec adventure in Mexico but you will have to decide where you want your mind to take you when you play.

City of Gold (Vela Gaming) RTP and Variance

This choice of free play slots has unknown variance and RTP but did perform like a low to medium volatility game when we gave it a try.

How to Play City of Gold (Vela Gaming)

Get started spinning in the City of Gold with these top tips:

1. Start off by deciding if you want the sounds on off. If you can’t decide when you’re asked the question on the start screen, don’t worry, you can change your mind later in the game. If you want to know what the soundtrack is like, it’s an Asian-sounding, melodic track with a sporadic owl-like whistle. It’s not the most annoying soundtrack out there but we’re not sure it adds much to the atmosphere of the game.
2. Click on the coin stack to decide how much you want to bet. You can choose how many of the 30 paylines you want to play, how much you want your bets to be worth, and the multiplier you would like applied to the bets - if any. This is all calculated to come up with your total bet.
3. Click on the autoplay tab if you want the game to spin automatically and choose between 10 and 500 games. The number of autospins counts down in the Welcome box in the centre at the base of the reels.
4. Click on the information tab via the treble bar menu button to view the paytable. The treble bar menu is also where you will find the sound settings.
5. Enjoy the game but always remember to play responsibly. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always keep an eye on your playing balance. This is really important, especially if you choose to go on to play for real money.

City of Gold (Vela Gaming) Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

There are a range of betting choices in this slot. You get to decide how many lines you want to play and how much you want to bet on these lines. Choose between 1 and 30 lines. You can then choose bets of between 0.01 and 1.00 and multipliers of between 1 and 10. This means that the minimum possible bet is 0.01 per spin, while the maximum is 300.00 per spin. This is a very broad betting range that should offer options for all sorts of different players.

The prizes on offer are displayed in the paytable, along with information about the special symbols and bonus features. Wins are paid out both ways, from right to left as well as from left to right. The best standard wins are for 5-of-a-kind combinations of matching symbols. These include (based on the maximum possible bet):

Wilds - 10,000

Golden carved tablet - 5,000

Golden bar - 1,000

Pocket watch - 1,000

Tiki - 300

Map - 300

There are also J to A symbols offering prizes of between 50 to 200 for five.

City of Gold (Vela Gaming) Bonus Features

City of Gold has golden chest scatter symbols that will pay out between 1x and 100x your total bet for combinations of 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the matching symbols. The slot also has wild symbols which can substitute for any other symbols, except for the scatter icons, in order to help you to create winning combinations or to improve the prizes you will get.

City of Gold (Vela Gaming) Review

This is a reasonable-looking slot with a decent RTP and an extensive betting range. There is no real standout feature of this game, however, and features are lacking overall. This is definitely not the slot for you if you enjoy bonus features. Wilds and scatter wins are all that are on offer and these are far from the most exciting bonuses around.
