City Of Gold Slots

Themed after an Aztec city, built of gold, the appropriately named City of Gold classic slot machine game has been designed and developed by Microgaming. Although it is a non-progressive classic slot game, the title does have a number of features, and boasts a fair jackpot too. The slot is brightly, coloured, contains some legendary classical icons, as well as one customary thematic symbol. City of Gold is a nice blend of old retro slots, and modern video slots in its gameplay.

How to play City of Gold slots online

Given that it only consists of 3 reels and 1 payline, no player should have any real difficulty in working out how City of Gold works. Coin values vary from $0.25 up to $5, and a total of 2 coins per line can be staked. This gives the Aztec themed classic slot a minimum stake of only $0.25 per spin, whilst at the opposite end of the gambling range, it can cost up to $10.

It is only right that a few of the icons in this slot have a golden colouration to them; this is true of the bar symbols, which together make up both moderate and low payouts. Single golden bars, double golden bars and triple golden bars make up these icons. Other fair paying symbols in this game include a diced watermelon, and red sevens. The basket of gems is the top symbol in this game.

City of Gold Slot Bonus Features

There are two special features in this Aztec themed game, and they both stem from the same icon, the aforementioned basket of gems. The basket icon will not only reward the player with a jackpot, but it also acts as a wild symbol and a multiplier too. Should one wild be used to win on the payline, the player will pick up a 2x multiplier on said win, whilst if 2 are used, that multiplier extends to 4x the winnings. The wild also acts as a typical substitute icon if needed.

City of Gold slot Payouts

The pay table in this slot works on a two columned basis. The first column pays out for players who have wagered 1 coin per spin, whilst the second column pays out for players who have wagered 2 coins per spin. Any single watermelon icons will payout 2 or 4 coins (2 for 1 coin, 4 for 2 coins bets). Any 3 bars is worth 3 or 6 coins, whilst any 2 watermelons will see players win 5 or 10 coins. Three single bars cough up 10 or 20 coins, whilst 3 watermelons results in payouts of 20 or 40 coins, depending on the wager.

Better payouts include wins of 25 coins or 50 coins for 3 double bar icons, and having 3 triple bar icons will see gamers win 50 or 100 coins. 3 sevens will see players net 100 or 200 coins, dependant on the stake wagered.

The City of Gold jackpot

Players can win a total jackpot of 800 coins, if they line up 3 wild icons (baskets) on a single payline, and if they have wagered a single coin per spin. If they have wagered two coins per spin though, and they accumulate the same icons on the payline, they will win double that, with the classic slot’s top jackpot of 1,600 being theirs.

Other notes on City of Gold

Although the wild icons offer multipliers when used as substitutes, this rule doesn’t apply for a jackpot win. In a jackpot win, the three basket wilds aren’t acting as substitute symbols, but as actual paying symbols, therefore when the jackpot is won, no multiplier is given. This is perfectly fair enough, and doubtless few gamers will complain about it, after picking up the jackpot!

All in all, this colourful little number is a fun game to play, for both experienced and amateur gamers alike, and should provide good gameplay for anybody seeking a bit of a fusion title, between classic slot games and video slots. City of Gold is after all, a classic slot, with special features!
