Personal testers’ opinion about Golden Era slot
Admittedly, the Golden Era online slot has a great theme but lacks graphical perfection. By spinning the reels, you could not stop thinking, it is OK, but it could’ve been better- visually, and certainly more diverse in background and soundtrack. Giving some spice during the base game also wouldn’t hurt.
Regarding payouts, we estimate the paytable as acceptable, and we were pleased with the statistical number of bonus frequency triggering – every 96th spin. Moreover, we think the prize pool division of 48% for the Bonus round and 52% for the main spins is adequate. The maximum payment obtained by our team during the tests was around 171x the bet, and the average win of either of the 2 bonus games was near 53x the bet. Concerning the bonus wagering, we can only give neutral advice, as the Golden Era slot machine scored only 4.83 (out of 10) on the scale for difficulties of requirements fulfillment.
