Golden Destiny Slots
Get ready to travel East with Golden Destiny, a very popular Hold and Win online video slot game developed by renowned developers Betsoft and released in August of 2024.
The Asian theme is well executed and showcases mirror reels, stacked mystery symbols and features Mini, Minor, Major and Grand Jackpots. There is also the popular Hold and Win mechanic which promises not only an engaging gaming experience but significant winning potential of up to 12,150x the bet.
A golden gaming grid brings 5 reels with 3 rows and 243 ways to win. A revered yellow cloaked Emperor stands to the left side of the reels and a spatial courtyard in a rich palace is seen in the backdrop surrounded by tall trees and temples and the game´s jackpots can be seen displayed above the reels. The effective 3D graphics reveal detailed imagery and the animations are smooth and seamless. A mellow asian inspired soundtrack provides a soothing ambiance.
Players can trigger wins by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Gameplay is made simple and intuitive with all the key buttons positioned at the bottom of the screen along with bet options and spin controls.
The betting range offers a minimum bet starting from $0.25 per spin and up to $30.00 for the maximum per spin. This variety makes the game accessible to both casual players and veterans alike. A useful autoplay button allows punters to pre select the number of spins they wish to game with which can prove tremendously handy in helping those who seek to maintain a set gaming budget. It is also a great tool for those who dislike manual gameplay.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is set at 95.56% and this game is characterized by high volatility. This means that wins can be significant but there will long stretches without payouts. This caters well to those adrenaline loving high rollers who are willing to embrace the high risk element in exchange for rich rewards. However, it does present more of a challenge to novice punters who are advised to game with prudence and caution.
The special symbols in the game are the Wild, a cash symbol and the Stacked Mystery symbols. The wild is presented by the Chinese palace and substitutes for all gaming symbols but not the Cash symbol which is depicted as a golden orb and brings payouts of values between 1x and 500x and also triggers the Hold & Win feature when six or more appear on the reels. The stacked mystery symbol reveals a single type of paying symbol when the reels stop spinning.
Traditional items reflect the game´s cultural inspiration with powerful phoenixes, dragons and other symbols of wealth and good fortune. They include symbols such as a lantern, a drum, a jade dragon statue, golden bowl, koi fish, a Phoenix and the Emperor. Landing five of these symbols will reward punters with prizes ranging from 6x to 50x their bet with the Emperor being the most lucrative. The lower paying symbols are the traditional playing cards Ace through to 10 which provide steady payouts from between 2x to 4x the bet for combinations of five.
There are no Free spins in Golden Destiny but the alternative can be just as lucrative with the Hold & Win feature. This is activated by landing 6 or more of the Cash symbols anywhere on the reels and awards punters with 3 respins during which only cash symbols and blanks are allowed to appear on the reels. Each cash symbol that lands locks into place and causes the respin to set back to three which creates a lot of suspense for players.
The clear objective is to fill as many positions on the reels as possible with the Cash Symbols. Players can achieve this by filling all 15 positions which then results in the Grand Prize being won which is a substantial 1,000x the total bet.
The Mirror Reels feature is randomly triggered during the base game where 2 to 5 adjacent reels are syncronized to provide identical symbols. Additionally, the Stacked Mystery symbols cover entire reels and reveal a single symbol type once the spin ends which offers further chances for matching combinations.
A Feature Buy option allows players to get direct entrance to the Hold & Win bonus feature for a cost based on the number of respins and ranging from 35x to 45x the bet.
Golden Destiny slot game is fully optimized for play across various devices including desktops, tablet devices and smartphones. The game offers seamless performance on both iOS Apple, Android and Samsung platforms ensuring that punters can enjoy the slot´s features wherever they are.
