Golden Tree Slot Review

It’s 2023 and these days we’re all about being inclusive, allowing people to identify as other genders, and being as sensitive as your cornhole after an all-you-can-eat buffet on vindaloo night.

You might think that it’s only our modern era that can boast of such intellectual and emotional forward-thinking, but there was a famous existential philosopher in the 1930s who was all about self-love and embracing himself as a person.

His name was Popeye the Sailor Man, and he made his debut in the Thimble Theatre comic strip in 1933. The spinach-chugging seaman is known for his famous quote: “I yam what I yam,” which would make fellow philosopher Rene Descartes very pleased indeed.

But the truth is that Popeye merely borrowed the phrase from an earlier time. I’m talking about Old Testament o’clock when the beardy dude in the sky said almost the same thing to Moses when the latter discovered the burning bush.

As far as woody plants things go, a bush that’s on fire but which doesn’t burn is pretty impressive. But what’s more impressive is the arboreal item in Netgame’s latest offering, Golden Tree slot, because this tree can make you rich!

Gameplay

The design of this game is your usual Asian-themed affair and the high-paying symbols take the form of golden pigs, bags of coins, golden teapots, and golden koi fish.

Golden Tree slot looks beautiful on a phone, but you will get these annoying pop-ups that advertise other games from the studio while playing on any device.

Scratching under the surface reveals a €218,100 top prize for this medium-volatility game, which is very generous. The max multiplier is 3,635x, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

There are 3 cryptocurrencies you can’t use – namely Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin – but all other forms of money are good to go.

Features

SLIDING WILDS:

These symbols substitute for all symbols other than Scatters and can also be stacked on reels 3, 4, and 5 in the base game.

The Wild Reward is activated when a Wild is part of a winning combo. Wilds will slide down one position with each spin, and as they do, their multiplier values will also increase.

One thing to note is that multipliers apply to line wins only; not to Wild Rewards on the same line. Each Wild in a winning combo awards 0.5x to 5x your bet, a Jackpot, or entry into the Free Spins round.

FREE SPINS:

Entry into the Free Spins round is either through a Wild in a winning combination or by landing 3 Scatter symbols on reels 1, 2, and 3 in the base game. You’ll get 6 spins when you start and Wilds can also appear on reel 2 now.

Wilds in winning combos during the round will re-trigger 6 more spins, and you can also get an extra spin by landing a +1 symbol.

STATIC JACKPOT:

As you’ll no doubt have seen, there are 5 static Jackpots above the reels, and these are linked to your bet level. They are the Grand (3,000x), Mega (500x), Major (100x), Minor (25x), and Mini (10x).

Jackpots are awarded during the Wild Reward feature I mentioned earlier. When you trigger this Bonus round, you’ll be shown 19 coins. Your job is to click them individually and 3 matching Jackpots will award their respective prize.

There’s also a Win All coin hidden somewhere that awards all 5 Jackpots, and 3 Remove coins that eliminate the lowest available Jackpots for the rest of the round.

Performance

I had no problems while testing Golden Tree slot. It played consistently, irrespective of the device or browser I was using.

Maximum Win

Bet €60 a pop for a chance at the €218,100, which comes courtesy of the 3,635x max multiplier. Or you can bet from as little as €0.20 – it’s all up to you.

Conclusion

While the aesthetics of Golden Tree slot are rather traditional, Netgame has come up with an exciting addition to this pick-and-click game in the form of Sliding Wilds that can trigger the Free Spins round and influence the feature.

Mobile play is certainly possible and the top prize is more generous than we’d expect from a game at this volatility level. I also love that you can – in theory, at least – win all of the Jackpots simultaneously and get rid of the lesser ones.

Yeah, I like what the studio did here, so it gets an enthusiastic thumbs-up from me.
