Eagle Gold (NetGame)

Eagle Gold Review

This is a solid online slot in all respects. We’ll walk you through all its ins and outs in this review, so let’s start with the playing field, which consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines.

The production values of Eagle Gold are high and the visuals are just incredibly easy to look at. The theme is pretty standard with its focus on large animals, but the night sky that’s in the animated background and the nice soundtrack certainly take the slot’s atmosphere to the next level. For what it’s worth, we think that the designers did an excellent job with this one!

The volatility of Eagle Gold is medium, so you don’t have to be afraid of any wild swings. At the same time, its jackpot clocks in at 1,200x your bet, which is nothing to write home about. The betting range caters to players with all kinds of bankrolls, as the minimum bet is as low as £0.20. The most that you can risk per spin, on the other hand, is £50. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Eagle Gold is 95.90%, so a tiny bit below average.

Eagle Gold Slot Features

The pay symbols of Eagle Gold are all well-designed, which applies even to the low pays that show card ranks from Jacks to Aces. You see, they come with some style, as they come with feather talismans attached. That’s a nice touch, and we’d love to see more slots throwing in something like that. The high pays are then the stars of the show, though, featuring chamoises, horses, elks, and bears.

For special symbols, you can look forward to Eagle Wilds, Night Sky Scatters, and Bonus Spheres. Eagle Wilds are there to substitute for other symbols and they even come with payout values of their own, while the other two special symbols are there to trigger the slot’s gameplay features.

To kick things off, there’s the Big Spin feature that you can trigger by finding 3 matching symbols on the very first reel. Whenever that happens, the middle three reels will spin as one large symbol, giving you a potential to win big or trigger one of the other gameplay features more easily.

Find 3 Night Sky Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature with 5 free spins. The Big Spin feature is in play during all free spins, which means that the middle three reels are always merged. Again, this can also add more free spins to the tally or trigger the Hold ‘n’ Link feature.

The Hold ‘n’ Link feature is the most exciting feature of them all and you can trigger it even without the Big Spin feature by finding 6 or more Bonus Spheres in view. The feature itself then works like a classic Hold and Win feature. You’ll start with 3 respins and each new Bonus Sphere that lands resets the counter back to 3. Your goal is to find as many Bonus Spheres as possible without running out of respins. Aside from bet multipliers, Bonus Spheres can also carry two jackpots, worth 10x and 30x your bet, respectively. Get lucky, though, and you might be able to grab the Grand jackpot, which is worth as much as 1,000x your bet! To get to it, you have to fill the entire playing field with Bonus Spheres.

Review Summary

Although Eagle Gold isn’t innovative in any respect, the final product comes together nicely and it’s more than just a sum of its parts. The atmosphere is top-notch, for one, and the features occur fairly often as well, especially the Big Spin feature. The lowish 1,200x jackpot might not be to your liking, but hey – not every single slot has to come with a massive max win!
