Just like its neutered brother – the Ox (subgenus), mainly used in peasant life for plowing and pulling, in Chinese culture – the Bull symbolizes tenacity, effort, grit and wealth. For their hard work and stamina, the path-breaking Bulls are often sculptured and put on display (in front of special building entrances, on office desks and shelves).
At first glance, you will only see the temple frame grid with 5×3 (standard) layout, the overused in Asian themed games red/green/purple and gold colours and some typical – according to Chinese traditions icons (such as the fireworks, coin tree, koi carp, red amulets/wishing cards, golden frog and golden lion). This is a Medium Volatility online game, featuring 243 ways (with adjacent 3+ identical, starting from reel 1) pay system.
According to our inside tests and analysis results (note obtained with internal BNC tools), the game exhibits acceptable hit frequency (of near 32%) and adequate return (RTP of over 96.01%). We calculated 1660x the total bet as a maximum potentiality of the Golden Bull in a single spin (achievable in either base or Bonus game via a full screen of the top symbol – the golden lion è 243*6.82=1657.26).
But aside from the first impression of the well done but unoriginal theme (including all too familiar symbols), the desirable but also not unique features (stacked symbols, stacked Wilds and Free Spins) there is a true gem of a function that raises this brainchild of the Taiwanese Studio above other games.
It offers the tempting possibility to decide for yourself how large the paytable can be (!). Not many slots can brag with such an option. You should know that with 243 winways slots, the fewer symbols on the paytable, the more likely it is that matching symbols will appear frequently and perhaps stacked, i.e. the greater the chance of higher rewards. So, instead of a paytable comprising 13 paying symbols, here you can navigate to a game with just 7 higher-paid ones. Now, that is an absolutely fresh and smart effect, for which one slot can be admired. Thank you KA Gaming!
Generally speaking, although you cannot expect life-changing rewards here, we recommend this middle-risk game to players with real deposits, as it turns out to be very generous (with an optimal bet and right strategy).
And as a Chinese proverb goes: ‘Perseverance and audacity generally win the battle’ we challenge you to roll out a session and keep it up until one well-paid Bonus round. You can do that by signing up at one of our partners’ casinos, or if you need some practice spins, launch KA Gaming’s Golden Bull slot in the DEMO variant on our page.
Bonus Features of Golden Bull slot
- Symbols reduce feature – It is a selectable function, expressed in clearing out the grid of some of the low-value symbols. Up to 5 low-paying symbols (cards) can be removed one by one or altogether (via the excluding bar – on the right of the grid) by increasing the bet in the range of 8 cents to 88 cents. Meaning, by pressing the A-88 cell all the cheap symbols will be gone from the game and you can start placing bets from 88 cents to 88 CAD.
- Wilds – The Golden Bull is naturally the Wild element in the game. It has no value on its own but is worth all the while when it substitutes (for all but Scatter symbols) and when it comes stacked during the base game (only on reels 2/3/4) or Bonus spins (only on reels 1/5).
- Scatters & Free Spins – The set of fireworks is the Scatter icon. It can appear only on reels 1/2/3, and if such 3OAK combo lands during 1 base spin will not only pay 5x the total bet but will also activate the Bonus, consisting of 8 FS. Within the Bonus, whenever on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously land 3 high stacked Wilds, the slot will perform automatically the following 4 steps:
- Pay the initial combinations (if any)
- Freeze the 2 Wild reels
- Make the 3 central reels Re-spin once
- Pay the newer formed combos (if any).
