Golden Goddess by IGT has been a staple of online casinos all around the world for a few years now. The secret to its popularity lies in its somewhat one-dimensional gameplay. It’s a little bit of a step back in time to slots of yesteryear where you sat down in a casino, chatted to your friend next to you while spinning the reels and had a good time as those frequent wins came in. You probably won’t walk away considerably richer but you’re unlikely to do so much poorer, either. And you will surely have enjoyed the ride.
The eponymous Golden Goddess is very much at the heart of this slot. She lends her name to the game and as we’ll soon see, is also involved when it comes to special symbols and she’s a sight for sore eyes with her angelic blue yes, golden locks and seductive glare. If she were amongst us today she could be described as a cross between actresses Kate Hudson and Katherine Heigl.
Except of course, she’s not amongst us. She lives in a mythical world also inhabited by white ducks, pink horses and a sort of Prince Charming, who is presumably her love interest.
Other symbols on the reels are high-value playing cards.
Before you start spinning, you can adjust your stake per spin. Whereas you can’t change the number of lines that are active (it’s always 40) you can choose to increase or decrease your bet per line. The minimum is 1 coin and the maximum is a barely-believable 50 coins, taking your stake per spin up to 2000 coins. So, have a decent think about your budget before getting the game under way.
If this is a simple game in nature without too many frills, it does have one feature that is pretty unique. And the good news is that it comes into play on every single spin.
As the reels are spinning, the game will decide to make one symbol stacked. In other words, at least one of the reels will have the same symbol in the top, middle and bottom positions. That of course increases your chances of securing a win somewhere.
If that symbol happens to be the Golden Goddess herself, then so much the better because she’s the most valuable symbol, with the exception of the Wild. But the good news doesn’t stop there because there could be more than one set of stacked symbols on the reels with each spin.
Just so you know, after the Wild and the Golden Goddess the order for most valuable to least valuable is as follows: Prince, Pink Horse, White Duck, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10.
The default music to the game is a very soothing melody but every time you secure a win, there’s a more upbeat musical sound effect to celebrate the fact you’ve just banked some money.
The Wild in this game is represented by a purple and yellow symbol with the words ‘Golden Goddess’ written on it.
As is so often the case with slots, not only can it appear anywhere but it can also substitute for any other symbol to guarantee you the best possible outcome.
What will often happen is that when the Wild symbol appears, it will give you several winning pay lines rather than just one. After all, there are 40 active lines here so the appearance of the Wild will mean there’s a great chance of wins in several directions. When this happens, not only do you collect on all those lines, but you also get to see where exactly they were.
Golden Goddess is a low-volatility game. What that means is that you’re more likely to secure plenty of decent wins as you keep on playing rather than a one-off huge one. But then again, this is a slot set in a magical world, so you never know.
The key symbol in getting you to the Golden Goddess bonus round- the free spins – is the Red Rose. The Red Rose only appears on Reels 2,3 and 4 and will always come stacked.
So, three Red Roses across Reels 2, 3 and 4 and it’s free spins time. You’ll get seven of them but not before you’re invited to hand-pick (see what we did there?) one of the nine Red Roses. You’ll remember from earlier on that aside from the Wild and the Scatter itself, there are nine other symbols.
When choosing one of the Roses, one of those symbols will be revealed to be behind it and that symbol will appear stacked for the duration of the free spins.
Free spins can’t be re-triggered and there isn’t a Multiplier in play, but you should always walk away with a decent pay-out one way or another.
If you like Golden Goddess, check out the following slots:
Some games are more appropriate for mobile devices than others and this one is certainly one made for being played on tablet, with its big symbols and the resemblance of them to real people, or animals as the case may be. But you can of course also play it on Desktop or whatever Smartphone you use.
The other thing you can do is try it out on the Play for Free mode. We’re pretty sure you’re going to be as seduced by this game as the Prince is by the Golden Goddess herself. But if you want to try it out without risking your money, you can. Just don’t complain if you secure a huge win while playing for fun!
As mentioned already, this is a low volatility slot. That means lots of wins but rarely one that will change your life around.
Final conclusions
Golden Goddess is unlikely to make anyone’s list of the best slots ever made. But it will probably make plenty of lists when it comes to looking for a simple, soothing slot that helps you pass the time well entertained rather than making or breaking the bank.
It will appeal to players who enjoy seeing plenty of regular wins without the frustration of having to wait ages for one. Colourful graphics and the presence of a stacked symbol on each spin earn it extra brownie points.
