Golden Stallion Review

Northern Lights Gaming is one of the more interesting developers that publish on Microgaming's platform, and Golden Stallion is certainly a testament to that. While there are some flaws with this game, the overall idea and concept is pretty solid. So is the bet range by the way, as you can place bets between 10p and £500 per spin here.

The reels are set in the middle of a mid-west canyon, with animated horses grazing in the background above. Everything follows the Golden Spin cycle here, and not much happens between the Golden Spin except for the horses galloping to mark reel positions. The bonus round is far from easy to trigger, but it can be quite lucrative due to double and quadruple split symbols.

Golden Stallion slot Features

Any spin in this game is part of the Golden Spin sequence. A sheriff star above the reels displays a random number of spins that tells you when the current sequence ends. Usually, this number will be somewhere between 7 and 20.

The animated horses you see in the background are not only there for show. Up to 5 of them will gallop towards you and the reel set on each spin. Each horse that stops to stamp on a reel adds a green frame to a random reel position.

The sheriff star tally counts down for each spin, and when the number goes to zero you trigger the Golden Spin. All reel positions marked by a green frame will now turn into . mystery symbols. A random matching symbol will then be selected to replace the mystery symbol.

You will either get a Golden version of a regular symbol, or a Golden wild.

You trigger the UltraWays™ Bonus Round when you land 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. This grants you 10 free spins, but first the Horseshoe Bonus Game will determine how many UltraWays you get during the feature. You can get up to 196,608 win ways here, which is more than what many Megaways engine games offer.

During the bonus round, regular symbols can split into Doubles or Quads. This means that the special symbols now count as either 2 symbols or 4. This is how the number of win ways is increased, and it’s somewhat similar to Yggdrasil’s Splitz mechanic.

The 200 Spins Golden Stallion slot Experience

Triggering the bonus round is easier said than done in this game, and we tried for a good long while. However, we had other pressing business, so the very brief highlights video below will only show you a few instances of the Golden Spin feature.

Review Summary

Golden Stallion is certainly an unusual game in several different ways.

The animated horses in the background can be quite distracting, not least since they gallop straight towards you all the time. We found it hard to concentrate on the reels in this game, but then again, you only need to pay attention on the Golden Spin really. The bonus round is not easy to trigger here, but it can deliver up to 6,000x your stake if you’re lucky with the number of UltraWays you get.

Pros

• Random Golden Spin cycles
• Golden Spin mystery symbols or wilds
• Bonus round with up to 196,608 UltraWays
• High volatility and 6,000x max win potential

Cons

• Animated horses takes your gaze away from the reels
• Hard to trigger bonus round and measly wins between Golden Spins
