Gold Volcano

Gold Volcano - Volcano has been seen from time to time in slots games, so the precarious natural disaster theme isn’t anything to write home about. However, Play’n GO does create a unique experience that allows players to slowly build up the magma to an eruption, which will shower you with treasure.

Contrary to instinct, you will be crossing your fingers and hoping the volcano blows. Gold Volcano doesn’t feature a traditional grid design, but rather a stacked outline that follows the shape of the volcano.

The entire time you’re spinning the wheels, the foreboding background music is enough to build the tension and spike your anxiety until the inevitable release of this force of nature.

Since you are setting out on such a dangerous endeavour and facing off against a volcano, you would expect the winnings eventually propelled from the cone to match up to the risks.

Unfortunately, you may be left disappointed as the max jackpot in Gold Volcano only provides you with 10,000x the initial stake. The game is just as volatile as a real active volcano, with a 7/10 rating on the volatility meter.

Does the RTP make up for it? Just a little. It’s slightly higher than average at 96.20%, but keep in mind that this is just the default setting.

Betting starts at 0.1 and goes up to 100, which is decent and makes the 10,000 jackpot slightly more attainable. It’s not easy to reach the ultimate goal, but the odds are good enough to give Gold Volcano a decent amount of your time.

Gold Volcano tries to set itself apart from the rest with some unique features. The effects are named after states of volcanic action. The volcano is Dormant in the base game when you have no winning combinations.

During the Dormant phase in Gold Volcano, you can trigger three different effects: Rumble, Lava, and Excavate. The Rumble could present a scatter symbol, but its main purpose is to reshuffle the symbols to give you another chance at a winning combo. Lava gets you an added layer of any symbol except the scatter, and Excavate grants you 3-5 wilds placed randomly on the grid.

From the Dormant phase, you can evolve into the Pressure phase. This will remove random symbols from the grid, and the wild symbol will appear in one of these empty spaces. The wild symbol may give you a 2x multiplier as well to give you a bonus.

The next stage is Crystallization, which can transform 3 scatters into gold symbols. However, this is not a permanent feature, and it resets after every spin.

Last but not least, the last stage in Golden Volcano is the Eruption phase. This will expand the grid to an 8×8 design and offer you an additional 5 extra free spins.

We quite like the concept and design of Gold Volcano. It’s a very well thought out slot game that doesn’t get old with just a few spins. It fully utilizes the natural traits of a volcano to its advantage and creates an exciting and rewarding game.

We wish it was a bit lower on the volatility scale, but it’s great for those who like a bit more of a challenge. Although a 10,000x jackpot in Gold Volcano isn’t amazing in the slots game arena, it is quite impressive for Play’n GO games.
