Wild Gold – Spearhead Studios

Spearhead Studios has debuted its 30th title via the 5×3, 10 fixed payline Wild Gold, which includes a multiplying wild and card gamble feature.

In the title, the Wild Gold symbol is the multiplying wild which exists on reels one, three and five. It substitutes any symbol to create the highest possible win on a payline.

Furthermore, if it is involved in a winning combination, the Wild Gold symbol will reveal itself to be either a x2, x3 or x7 wild multiplier. Additionally, if there are more than one multiplier involved in a win, the value of each will be combined to create a bigger multiplier.

Moreover, the game includes a card gamble mode which can be entered by clicking its name sakes button after any win. During this mode, the player can double or quadruple their win if they correctly guess either the suite colour or symbol.

“Wild Gold is an exciting slot that we are happy to bring into our portfolio. We are certain that players will very much enjoy the core feature of this 5×3, 10-payline slot, in which the first, middle and last reels can all become ‘all wild’, with each wild also carrying a win multiplier of up to x7.” – Kevin Corti, Game Development Director at Spearhead.

Once you have that, you can build a great game around it, and anything is possible.” – Martin Zettergren, Play’n Go CPO.
