Gold's Guardian Review

Pariplay has had some success with their fantasy-themed release, Dragons of the North, and Gold's Guardian is also all about the legendary fire-breathing creature. You’ll see a mean-looking red specimen animated on the left-hand side, and it comes to live whenever a dragon symbol lands inside any of the Locked Frames you collect during base game play.

Breathing fire onto the reels, the guardian of the gold turns framed symbol positions wild, and you get even more of this in the bonus round. Every 6th spin comes with a Super Bonus Round, where you have a real chance to fill the reels with Locked Frames. The wild is the highest paying symbol by far, but the 832x potential is hardly enough to excite in today's market.

Gold's Guardian Slot Features

Dragon head symbols land and leave a golden ring behind on their respective reel positions, and this is referred to as a ‘Locked Frame’. You’ll keep stacking up these Locked Frames in random positions until a Dragon Head lands inside a Locked Frame. This transforms the Dragon Head to a wild, and the wild spreads to all adjacent Locked Frames. This is called the Bursting Wilds feature.

You trigger the regular Bonus Round by landing 3, 4 or 5 golden dragon egg scatters anywhere in sight.

This awards 8, 12 or 20 free spins, respectively, and any Locked Frames from the base game are carried over into the bonus round. You will now benefit from 1 to 5 new Locked Frames per spin, and they remain in place until they turn wild. There is no way to retrigger the feature.

Every 6th time you trigger the bonus round as described above, you get the Super Free Spins feature instead. This awards 12, 15 or 25 super free spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively, and you will see a bonus wheel spin to award between 1 and 5 extra Locked Frames per spin. In addition, you get 4, 6, 8 or 10 Locked Frames spread out in a pattern formation per spin, increasing your chances for larger wild wins.

The 200 Spins Gold's Guardian Slot Experience

The video starts off with a series of dead spins, until we trigger both the Wilds Bursts feature and the bonus round at the same time.

This happens around the 1-minute mark, and you can see the feature play out for the remainder of the 2:13 minute long highlights video. Simply hit the play button below, and you’re good to go!

Review Summary

Pariplay has made a visually decent game, not least the big, red animated dragon on the left-hand side is impressive. However, there are several significant drawbacks that must be addressed. The Locked Frame wild transformation feature is a bit limited compared to many similar games, where all frames are guaranteed to turn wild.

Many times getting wilds on reel 4 and/or 5, for example, will yield nothing but an animation that gets more tiresome the more ineffective it’s perceived to be. The Super Bonus Round is your best hope for larger payouts, but high volatility combined with a measly 832x potential is not very impressive (to say the least). Overall, there is not enough here to compel experienced punters, and hardcore gamblers would never touch a math model like this.

Pros

• Locked Frame wild transformation
• FS w/ up to 5 Locked Frames per spin
• Super FS w/ even more Locked Frames

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
• High volatility and 832x max win potential
• Max win cap varies with RTP
