Kings of Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Kings of Gold is an Egyptian-themed 5x3 slot with 25 paylines and some decent potential, although a long way short of similar Book of-style games.

This iSoftbet slot has some attractive features, including free spins and a win and hold streak respin bonus, but there is nothing particularly inventive. Even the graphics have seen better days.

This is a theme that has been done to death; however, if you are a fan of respins and the synced reels feature, it could be worth a spin. Try a few practice games here at Slots Temple on desktop, mobile or tablet.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

We have lost count of how many Egyptian-themed slots we have played here at Slots Temple. Kings of Gold is not one of the most memorable; however, there are some decent features, including the well-drawn background and the atmospheric soundtrack.

It is a shame the attention to detail doesn’t extend to the reels. They may be awash with gold artefacts but you will see screen after screen of royals in this highly volatile game. This might not be so bad if they were integrated with the design and theme.

The picture symbols represent the usual Egyptian iconography:

- The ankh or key of life represents eternal life.
- Bastet is the feline-shaped goddess of the home.
- The scarab is a symbol of resurrection and immortality.
- The treasure chest represents the hordes of gold that were plundered from ancient Egyptian tombs, such as the tomb of Tutankhamun.

All in all, the graphics are serviceable rather than thrilling, similar to Merkur’s Eye of Horus slot.

Kings of Gold RTP and variance

iSoftBet has aimed this slot squarely at the risk-takers with high volatility and a 95.14 per cent RTP.

Kings of Gold bonus features

Features in this slot are solid rather than spectacular, so you will need to push the envelope if you want to maximise your payouts. The potential is also solid rather than sensational and you will be on the lookout for the Hold and Win streak respins rather than the free spins to build your bankroll.

- Pharaoh wild

This symbol acts as a substitute for all other symbols except the gold coin and the bonus. This power symbol always lands stacked for multiple win potential.

- Free spins

Keep an eye out for the stylised pyramids in the bonus symbol, as the free spins feature is triggered when you land three symbols on reels one, three and five.

You will play eight free spins with up to five in-sync reels. In theory, this means you can be guaranteed wins if three or more adjacent reels sync while they spin and land the same symbols across the reels.

- Hold and Win feature

Hold and Win is an iSoftBet proprietary feature.

Land five or more gold coin symbols in view to trigger this respins bonus. The value of the coins is directly related to your bet.

The gameplay is pretty standard - you will be awarded three respins and any additional coins landed will lock in place and the respins counter will reset to three. When no further coins land and lock in place, you will be awarded the value of all the coins.

If the golden pharaoh lands, all coin values are collected and leave spaces to be refilled.

Kings of Gold review: our verdict

There is nothing to really set the pulse racing in this solid slot. The Hold and Win feature is definitely the pick of the bonuses - the respins don’t retrigger, which limits their appeal.
