Kings of Gold Review

Kings of Gold is an iSoftbet powered ancient egypt slot, and it plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 ways to win. The game is balanced between 2 main features, namely the bonus round with synced reels and the Pharaoh’s Gold “hold and win” Respins feature. This is a pretty volatile “book of” type game, and it comes with a mediocre potential of 1,121x your stake.

Audiovisually, Kings of Gold is well-made, but it still feels like a cliché. You can place bets between 25p to £25 per spin here, which is a somewhat narrow bet range. The RTP of 95.14 % is well below average, and the potential is far from the 5,000x you find on most book slots. At least the expanding symbols have been avoided here, but the features are not innovative in any way.

The synced reels bonus round is a nice try, but iSoftBet is not really fooling anyone. This is yet another copycat in the book slot series, and unfortunately it does not have much originality to offer. The theme and concept is so overused by now that you need an innovative edge to stick out. With a solid math model this game could have had some potential. However, as it stands, it will soon blend into the background noise and be forgotten.

Kings of Gold Features

There are 2 main bonus features in this game, and we’ll start with the Pharaoh's Gold Respins feature. You trigger this “hold and win” feature by landing at least 5 cash value gold coins on the same spin. The respins play out on a new grid, and the triggering gold coins are frozen in place.

You will now land only new cash value gold coins, Golden Pharaoh symbols or blanks in the remaining positions.

You start with 3 respins, and the tally resets to 3 again whenever you land at least 1 new gold coin. New coins also become sticky, and landing the Golden Pharaoh collects all existing coins and frees up space for even more coins to land. The feature only ends when all reel positions are filled, or when you run out of respins. All collected and uncollected coin values are then summed up and paid out.

Before we get into the other main feature, we should also inform you that wild symbols can land fully stacked in this game. They will step in for all regular symbols, and they are also the highest paying symbols providing wins of 20x for 5 on a payline.

The free spins bonus round in Kings of Gold slot comes about when you land at least 4 pyramid scatters on the same spin. The scatters can only land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and you are granted 8 free spins. You will see 2 to 5 reels being highlighted on each spin, and these become synced reels displaying the same symbols. There is no way to retrigger the bonus round, and you cannot trigger the Golden Pharaoh respins feature from a free spin.

The 200 Spins Kings of Gold Experience

Our highlights video is a bit longer than usual today.

This is because it takes a very long time for this game to sum up “big wins”. We trigger the bonus round around 0:45, if you want to skip right to the most juicy part. We had some pretty decent wins in our test session, but the game made a bigger deal of it than we did.

Review Summary

If you aim to make an impact with an ancient egypt themed game, you better make it stick out in some way. iSoftBet has failed to do this with Kings of Gold, as there really isn’t anything new or special to see here. The game is about as mediocre as they come, and to top it off you have a max win potential and a math model that’s way under par.

We understand that every game cannot be a revolution to the industry, but the ancient egypt genre is so overcrowded already. We don’t really need another shelf-filler in this department.

As a stand-alone game, there are some entertaining moments here for sure. However, seen in a broader context, you just have so many better alternatives that there really is no reason to bother with this one.

Pros

• Hold and Win Respins cash coin collection feature

Cons

• High volatility and a measly 1,121x max win potential
• Below average RTP of 95.14 %
• Max bet is only £25 per spin
• Brings nothing new or original to the overpopulated egypt book of genre
