Gobs n Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Gaming1 slots has created a stunning fantasy world in this 5x4, 50-payline slot. Packed with bonus features, there is a rock solid integration of maths and graphics in this dynamic slot.

Follow the path of luminous crystals to the goblins’ gold and win streak respins along the way. Look out for the jester wild that completes new winning combinations for more respins.

He is one of 12 symbols that break down into three special symbols that trigger the bonus features, five royals and four picture symbols. The thief is the highest paying symbol worth 8x your stake.

There are up to 50 free spins with a transforming symbol feature to play for. You will need five or more bonus symbols to trigger the bonus spins, but three will lock on the reels to increase the possibility of unlocking those free games.

Land five star symbols on the grid and you will play the jackpot mini-game that guarantees you will win one of the copper, bronze, silver or gold jackpots. As you would expect from Gaming1, this all-action game looks great on mobile and tablet.

We will look at the bonus features in more depth later, but you have probably gathered there is quite a bit to take in. This is why we recommend you play some demo spins here at Slots Temple.

Bonus features

There is plenty to get to grips with in Gobs ‘n Gold in the base game and bonus features. Here is what we found:

- Joker wild

This malevolent creature will substitute for every paying symbol but won’t contribute to triggering free spins or the jackpot game.

- Streak respins

After every winning spin, winning symbols will hold in place and the other reel positions will spin independently. This continues until no more winning combinations appear.

- Golden bonus spins

You can’t miss the pile of gold coins that acts as the bonus trigger. As soon as three land on the reels, they will lock in place. You will need to land five or more to trigger between 7 and 50 free spins.

After every winning spin during the free games, winning symbols can be transformed into a symbol with their own value or greater.

- Star jackpot

The first thing to remember is the higher your stake, the more chance you have of triggering the mini-game.

Land five star jackpot symbols to trigger the jackpot bonus game. Pick a card and you will be guaranteed to win one of the four jackpots.
