Of all the Aristocrat slots I have tried I always seem to go back and play the Where's The Gold slot machine, 50 Lions and the Queen Of The Nile slot. I like the Choy Sun Doa game too but the fact that you have to get bonus symbols on specific reels on the latter relegates it down my list. But it's the feature in Where's The Gold I really love.
It's nice when you play a slot game that does something a bit different. Several of the slot machine games here have something a bit unique about them - either the expanding scatter symbols on the Book Of Ra slot machine or in Playtech's Gladiator, the increasing multiplier concept in the excellent Iron Man 2 game or the X Factor slot's amazing bonus sequence with all the UK contestants singing their hearts out. Aristocrat's Where's The Gold slot machine also does something a bit different, notably extra wild symbols in the bonus feature.
Three sticks of dynamite anywhere on the screen in normal play triggers the free spin feature. You are required to select one from a number of cartoon characters who then start prospecting for gold. They dig up spins and symbols with the latter becoming extra wild symbols. Typically you will get 5 or 6 free spins with 1 or 2 wild symbols to play out but it can be better or worse. On one occasion I got 7 spins with 2 wild symbols and hit 5 wilds! Doesn't happen often though!
Like most other slot machines, the bonus feature in Where's The Gold can be retriggered. It doesn't happen as frequently as it does when you play the Dolphins pearl slot machine but on the bright side it is much easier to get the feature in the first place. The volatility of the Where's The Gold slot machine is definitely lower than Aristocrat's Choy Sun Doa slot but you are also less likely to hit big here. However, for entertainment, Where's The Gold is one of my favorite Aristocrat slot machines.
If you like the old-skool feel of Aristocrat slots then you might be interested too in Novomatic's more European-focused games, in particular the aforementioned Book Of Ra, Sizzling Hot Deluxe and Dolphin's Pearl, all of which feature on this website.
