Golden Chance - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Fruit-based slots games have been around for just about as long as slots gaming itself. But developers and players still can’t get enough of them - we’ve got over 600 fruit-themed games on our website, making it by far the most popular genre. We’ve played them all, from the Power Stars free slot to Jammin Jars and Laser Fruit. So let’s explore what BeeFee has to offer on the theme.

Graphics & Soundtrack

Luxury is the word that springs to mind as Golden Chance launches. Clearly designed with a mobile-first ethos, the game is backed by mirrored tiles, along with piles and piles of glittering coins. There’s a nice curved aspect to the three reels, with line bet amounts set to the right of them, and the game’s controls underneath them.

There’s a gentle soundtrack to the game, with its own volume control, so you can adjust the levels to suit, or even mute them completely if you prefer.

Golden Chance RTP & Volatility

The RTP of 96.03% puts Golden Chance slightly above average when it comes to theoretical returns. It certainly sounds tempting, but we advise approaching this game with a degree of caution. There are no official volatility details available at the time of writing our review, so it makes the game quite hard to assess. But knowing BeeFee slots, and given that this is a three-reel game, we’d put the rating at medium, at the very least, if not high.

Don’t risk your own money on a Golden Chance gaming session at your favourite online casino before you know if you like the game. Try it out here instead, where you can play completely free of charge. We supply you with a trial balance, so it’s just like playing with real money, except there are no financial losses - ever!. Once you’ve explored the game for a while, you may decide that it’s definitely something you’d like to wager your own money on. But at least you’ll have the best idea what to expect, and you’ll have a rough idea of how far your bankroll could take you.

How to Play Golden Chance

1 There are no payline decisions to be made in this game, since all five paylines are fixed for every spin. So all you need to do is determine the size of your bet with each spin. In our experience, it’s best to ensure that your bankroll can provide a minimum of 100 spins for an optimum gaming session.

2 Select your bet by the total amount, in which case you use the buttons at the bottom left of the screen to set the amount. Or you can use the dial on the right of the reels, to set the cost per payline - so that’s the total stake divided by five. Whichever option you choose, the sums shown on the dial and on the Total Bet display will adjust accordingly.

3 Pressing the central Spin button will start your game. If you land a win, the Spin button divides, offering the chance to Gamble the amount of that win, or Take the win and add the amount to your balance.

4 Multiple spins at the same stake can be set using Autoplay, just to the right of Spin. Set win and loss limits, or deactivate the feature by hitting the button again during play.

5 Game sounds can be adjusted or muted from the buttons at the bottom right of the screen.

6 Check out the game’s paytable and rules by pressing the ‘I’ button. Press on it again to toggle through the rules of the game and view the paylines.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Payline bets on the reels of Golden Chance range from just 0.02 up to 40.00 per line. Your chosen amount will be multiplied across each of the five paylines, giving a total wagering spectrum of 0.10 to 200.00 per spin.

The paytable shows the cash prizes for matching up three symbols on one of the paylines, or two symbols and a Wild. The paytable is dynamic, so it shows the actual cash amounts that you could win, based on the amount of your current bet. Shown as multiples of your line bet, the rewards are as follows:

3 x grapes = 15x

3 x watermelons = 15x

3 x plums = 15x

3 x lemons = 15x

3 x cherries = 15x

3 x Lucky Red 7s = 100x

3 x Bars = 500x

Scatter symbols pay out in any position, so they don’t have to appear on a payline to generate a cash payout. And rather than paying out as multiples of your payline stake, they pay cash prizes as multiples of your total bet.

3 x Gold Bar Scatters = 100x

Golden Chance Bonus Features

Expanding Wilds take over an entire reel where they can generate a winning combination. And the game includes Stacked Symbols for better winning odds. There’s also a double-or-nothing gamble option following every winning spin.

Fans of a respins bonus mechanic need to keep a close watch on the golden dollar scatter symbols. Every appearance of one or two scatters generates a respin with scatter reels held in place, so you could generate a high-paying scatter win.

Overall Review

It’s unusual to find three-reel online slots with extra features, so the Respins and Expanding Wilds in Golden Chance made a nice change. Respins seemed to trigger very frequently when we tried the game out, although they didn’t often lead to a win, unfortunately.

The lack of volatility details makes us feel a little apprehensive about playing Golden Chance with real money. But if you enjoy playing fruit-themed retro games with a distinctly modern twist, you definitely need to give this game a try.
