Troll’s Gold is a fantasy-themed slot from Relax Gaming, and it features a 3-4-5-4-3 reel set with 20 paylines. In addition to multiplier wild boosts up to 81x, the base game has a lock-in re-spin feature that extends the winning streak.
Slot Features
The golden wild symbols appear only on reels 2 to 5, and they help you form winning combinations by substituting for all regular symbols. Multiplier wilds can appear in the same winning combo, which means that these multipliers are multiplied together up to a maximum of 81x. Landing a stack of matching pay symbols on the first reel triggers the Lock-in Re-spins feature.
As the respin begins, any symbols on the grid that match the triggering stack remain in place. Whenever any matching symbols or wilds land, they become sticky as well, and the feature continues until there are no more sticky symbols or the screen is full.
Gold is collected in a meter on the right side of the screen for all coins and treasure chests that land. A prize from the meter can be won by collecting at least 12 symbols, which will add 10x your stake to the total. If you collect 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 symbols, you will receive 20x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,000x or 10,000x your stake, respectively.
Verdict
If you collect the first 12 symbols on the meter in the Treasure Trove Re-spins, the ride gets pretty thrilling from there. A blank-only spin stops the whole thing in its tracks, but each new symbol you land moves you closer to the massive 10,000x top prize. Each month, there are numerous hold-and-win games, but they mostly look like wannabes compared to this one.

Microgaming partner Just For The Win is the developer of Emerald Gold Slot, which has an Irish theme, five reels and 40 paylines.
When Emerald Gold fires up, you know you’re playing an Irish slot since the reels are topped with the leprechaun, and you will see other familiar Irish symbols.
Four-leaf clovers are believed to bring good luck. As scatters in Emerald Gold, they can be pretty profitable if you collect enough of them. Emerald Gold also features free spins in addition to scatter prizes.
Emerald Gold Bonus Feature
The scatter feature is Emerald Gold’s main attraction. The concept is simple – land four or more scatter symbols to win an instant cash prize. In all phases of the game, the four-leaf clover symbol is the scatter. The more scatters you land, the more you win. For example, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 scatters will pay out 1x, 5x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 2,500x your stake. 12 scatters will give you 25,000 times the bet, which is a great result.
Three golden hat bonus symbols trigger free spins on reels 2, 3 and 4. During the bonus game, players are awarded three free spins. If you land a four-leaf clover, your free spins will be reset back to 3. If spins run out, anything that has been collected scatter-wise is paid out.
Bonus Buy Option
Last but not least, you can buy free spins if this option is available. When players stake 52x the total stake, they can directly enter the bonus round to collect scatters.
Our Thoughts
The gameplay in Emerald Gold has both traditional and unique elements to appeal to those who enjoy both kinds of gameplay. When no bonus is activated, the base game is still entertaining, but it gets even more exciting as soon as scatters, wilds, or other special symbols appear on the reels.
