Golden Planet (Cayetano Gaming)

Golden Planet Review

This game utilizes an engine previously developed by another company. Golden Planet uses a 5x5 setup with Cluster Pays instead of regular paylines. In other words, you have to connect 5+ matching symbols to get a win.

The theme of Golden Planet is about landing on a planet and mining its valuable resources. The visuals are absolutely fantastic, and the soundtrack only adds to the game’s atmosphere. There’s a giant spaceship floating above the playing field at all times, which is both thematic and gorgeous, and we simply have to applaud the designers for what they decided to go with here!

Golden Planet is a high volatility slot, but its jackpot is surprisingly low at just 500x your bet. You can enjoy the game for all kinds of stakes between £0.20 and £100. The slot’s theoretical RTP is then 95.58%, which is somewhat below average.

Golden Planet Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Golden Planet, and they all feature gems of increasingly intricate designs. That goes for the payouts, too, and we can’t really dig deeper into the paytable here. That’s because there are various values that you can win, depending on how big the given Cluster is, from 5 to 15+ symbols. Amber gems are worth the most, in any case. Interestingly, there are no special symbols in Golden Planet.

To kick things off, we have to note that Golden Planet comes with Cascades. The game actually calls them reactions, but the idea is the same. Winning symbols get removed and replaced, giving you another chance to win in the given spin sequence.

Then, there’s the random Symbol Morphing Laser feature that can show up out of nowhere and clone one randomly-chosen symbol up to 10 times. This even guarantees a win, so stay on the lookout!

For 4, 8, 12, or 16+ Cascades or reactions, you’ll get the Free Spins feature with up to 8, 12, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. You’ll have to pick one of the presented capsules to learn the actual number of free spins. And, if you get the aforementioned numbers of reactions during free spins, you’ll get to win stake multipliers of up to 50x!

The Free Spins feature itself then takes place on a larger 7x7 playing field, which means that it’s much easier to get those larger Clusters that pay a lot more than smaller ones. Also, free spins come with 3x3 symbols that guarantee a win whenever they land and that cannot be found in the base game. You can find their smaller 2x2 counterparts during regular spins, though, so there’s that at least.

Review Summary

Golden Planet is a polished slot that delivers big time in terms of both audiovisuals and gameplay features. With Clusters, Cascades, big symbols, free spins, and various guaranteed wins, there really is a lot for you to see and enjoy in this package. It’s just slightly unfortunate that it isn’t all wrapped up in a better mathematical model.
