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

Introduction

There is a reassuring similarity to the basic mechanics of WeAreCasino slots, which makes it easy to play an unfamiliar game. The company is following an energetic expansion programme, with new free play slots appearing regularly at online casinos. WeAreCasino is on something of a mission to make it easier for the non-technical to create their own games by using its game building tool. It is also busy creating competing slots in many of the most popular thematic areas; for example, Gold India confidently revisits the territory of games such as Skywind’s Mystical India slot with its instantly recognisable iconography.

Golden India has a five-reel, three-row grid with 30 paylines, and you can select how many you play. The minimum coin value is 0.01 and the maximum is 2.00. When betting on all 30 paylines, the minimum bet is 0.30 and the maximum is 60.00; of course, you can place a much lower bet by reducing the number of paylines played. There are eight regular symbols: a golden dome, a temple, a prince, an arch, a tower, and the ace, king and jack. The scatter is a princess and the bonus symbol is the Taj Mahal. 

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The graphics are pretty disappointing. What we can see of the backdrop is quite atmospheric, with a rich colour scheme, but the artwork on the reels looks a little rushed and ill-thought-out. The soundtrack is a bizarre piece of music that sounds like bad early 80s synth pop and adds absolutely nothing to the Asian flavour of the game. 

Golden India RTP and variance

The return to player and volatility are not known.

How to play Golden India

1. Golden India is a slot with 30 paylines. You can choose the number of lines you play.
2. Select the number of lines to play using the arrows to either side of the lines monitor to the bottom right of the control panel.
3. The bet value is the coin level multiplied by the number of lines selected. Before you play, you need to set your bet by adjusting the coin and line totals. If you prefer to play with the highest stake allowed, simply click the max bet button.
4. If you land three or more scatters on the reels, you will trigger the free spins.
5. If you land three or more bonus symbols on the reels, you will trigger the bonus game.
6. Instead of spinning the reels manually, you can simply set them in motion and watch by using the automatic play option. Click the smaller of the two play buttons to access auto mode. You can choose a number of auto spins from 10 to 1,000. If you click the advanced button, you can set a loss limit and a win limit. End the automatic mode by clicking the button again.
7. Use the central play button or press the spacebar to start the reels. When the stop symbol appears, which is a square, you can halt the reels at any time. If you click on the stop button during autoplay, you will simply exit auto mode.
8. Use the fast forward button to switch to fast play.
9. The credit balance is displayed to the bottom left and the figure is updated after every spin.
10. Please gamble responsibly at all times. This is an adult game in which you can lose money. We support initiatives such as BeGambleAware and would remind you that if you gamble for money, you could lose it all. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and remember that you can use the timeout and self-exclusion features to regulate your gambling. When the game is no longer fun, you should stop playing.

The bet size ranges from 0.01 to 60.

The paytable values range from three to five matching symbols payline. The highest multiplier values for each symbol, which are for five symbols are as follows:

• Ace = 75x

Golden India bonus features

Gamble 

Use the gamble feature to double your winnings. Every time you win, you are given the chance to collect your winnings or gamble them. If you chose to gamble, you will be asked to choose one of two symbols. If it matches the game’s selection, you win; if not, you lose. If you win, you can gamble again up to the maximum number of times allowed; if you lose, the feature ends and the base game resumes.

Bonus game

This takes the form of a choice of nine treasure chests, which you must pick from to discover the reward inside.

Golden India review: our verdict

The gamble and bonus features are welcome, although they are really just variations of each other. The gameplay has nothing particularly original and the payouts are not generous. We think there are better Indian-theme games out there.
