A full moon may not bode well, but it appears above the reels of this spooky online slot game. Ghoul’s Gold also features a ghoul hovering above the game logo, but this one does look quite friendly, so we’re not too concerned about its appearance.
We’re going to put the game through our review process here, so if you’re keen to know what’s involved, you can see whether you like the game here.
We bet you know this developer
You wouldn’t think that Ghoul’s Gold is a typical entry into the Betsoft collection. However, it’s been around for a while now, so while it looks far more basic than many of their other titles, it still offers a superb appearance and gaming experience.
Make sure you try the demo first
This is the ideal way to see what you think with no risk to your budget.
What’s the theme about?
Ghouls, of course, making this the ideal game to play on Halloween. We’d still suggest trying it throughout the year though, especially if you like haunting themes.
Design features in Ghoul’s Gold
The design keeps itself on a basic level, although you’ll find many nice touches throughout the game. Just don’t expect 3D appearances or detailed designs here, as everything has a flat and straightforward appearance.
How to begin playing Ghoul’s Gold
There are only three reels here, although they do still show you three symbols whenever they stop spinning. The game does manage to give us a progressive jackpot just underneath the game title, and it has a few more surprises to share as well.
There is a wild, labeled in this manner and showing gold coins stacked around it as well. This is ideal to help sub for other symbols, although it won’t replace the jackp
ot symbol, featuring a cash bag. This is the trigger for the progressive.
Paylines in Ghoul’s Gold slots
You get three of them here, each horizontal and stacked one atop the other.
Play this as a penny slot if you like
This means one cent per line. Other available coins go up to a dollar each. The game also offers a chance to play between one and five selected coins on each of the three lines.
View payout: This hides the paytable
The design means there is little room for the paytable on the gaming screen, so hit the ‘view payout’ message to load it.
The ghoul can lead to a bonus round
We’re not sure what this involves as we haven’t yet managed to break into it. However, we know you need to find three ghouls to access it.
Free spins don’t feature
No, you won’t find any of those in Ghoul’s Gold.
Does it have a high return to player value?
Unfortunately no… it looks like you won’t get any higher than 93% on this one.
Our rating after playing Ghoul’s Gold
It’s bigger and offers more features than you’d think for a basic-looking slot with just three reels. This means we can award 7/10 to the game, dropping the score for that low RTP.
Watch for the progressive jackpot prize
This is likely to be the biggest prize you can net from the game, although it isn’t going to drop that often. We’ll tell you if we hear of another winner of this prize.
Practice play makes the perfect introduction
It’s ideal to spin it a few times to see how it works, and to decide whether you’d want to progress to play the real thing.
Look for the real game at participating casinos
If you see a casino with Betsoft games available, see if they have this one among them.
What about mobile access?
As this is an older game, we couldn’t find it across all casinos with Betsoft slots on offer. However, we do know that it might appear in mobile casinos that do carry it among the collection. You still only need one login for the casino to access it on Android or iOS.
