Heart of Gold slot machine by Novomatic is inspired by a romantic movie and Neil Young’s same named song. The most important feature in it is the wild symbol, the Heart Of Gold card, that can be placed anywhere on the reels, and the player will be awarded credits even if there is only one icon in the rows, with the condition to be placed on the leftmost reel. This slot is similar to Showgirls.
Free online Heart of Gold also has a gamble option that allows the player to try his luck and double the total amount of credits won during the last spin by picking the color of the cards on the field. Besides this and the extra unpaid spins, there are no bonuses in the machine.
Wagering Options
This is a 5-reel slot with 3 symbols per reel. The pokie has 9 playing lines, and the number can be changed by clicking on the buttons “play 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 lines”. When clicking on the “coin” button, the value of coins can be set to be 1, 2 or 0.5. The stake per line can be 1 or 9 credits in total.
If the “max bet” is selected, the total bet per line is 1.00 and 100, respectively. You can play Heart of Gold free slot by pressing the “spin” or “automatic start” buttons. The difference is that in the Automatic play, there are no options for risk game, and the spinning is automatic. The maximal payout is 10000 (with the maximal bet per round).
The total balance available for the wager is shown in the lower left corner, and the win in the last turn is in the middle of the screen, next to the balance.
Jackpot & Special Symbols
- Wild – the logo sign is the wild, and it substitutes for all other cards except the scatter. This is also the highest paying symbol in the pokie. 5 logo cards pay 10000 credits, and it is the jackpot in the machine.
- Scatter – the black-white mask is the scatter, and it awards credits whenever it appears anywhere on the table. Three or more of these signs trigger the extra spins feature.
Bonus Games
The free online Heart of Gold slot game doesn’t have bonus games, but it has gratis spins and a risk game.
Buckshee Spins
They are triggered by the mask card. Depending on the number of masks, the number of unpaid spins can also vary. For 3, 4, and 5 mask symbols, the player is awarded 8, 15, and 20 gratis rounds, respectively. After each spin symbols on the reels may be turned into the Heart of Gold cards, resulting in additional winnings.
Gratis games will be restarted if the scatter symbol appears again during the feature, so the number of newly won free rounds is added to the remaining ones. The credit is accumulated until all bonus games end, and upon finishing, one can choose to gamble the winnings or to collect it.
“Risk It” Compliment From Developers
It can be activated with any winning in the base mode. By pressing “gamble,” the player is offered the choice between black and white for the cards on the field. If the choice is right, the winning will be doubled, but if it’s wrong, it will result in losing the entire amount of winnings, and the risk game is ended.
The feature can be stopped anytime by pressing the “take win” button, and the total win will be added to your balance.
