Great Gold slot review
Red Tiger released Great Gold in September 2022, setting vintage fruit-machine symbols on five reels and four rows with 10 paylines. A Wild Activator can trigger at random on any spin and drop four to eight wilds onto the reels, while in the free spins every wild lights a bulb above its reel until that reel locks wild. The maximum win is 7,608x stake.

How Great Gold plays
Wins pay for three or more matching symbols along the 10 paylines, and five of a kind is worth between 3x and 50x stake depending on the symbol. The paytable reads like an old fruit machine:
- Cherries, lemons, oranges and plums are the lower pays.
- Clovers, stars and crowns sit in the middle.
- The 7 is the top symbol, and five wilds on a line pay the same 50x stake.
- The golden wild substitutes for the paying symbols.
Red Tiger lists only two features. Outside the free spins, the Wild Activator does the heavy lifting: it can fire on any spin and add four to eight wilds to the grid, which can complete several of the 10 lines at once.
Free spins and the light bulbs
Three golden coin scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 10 free spins. Each reel now has four light bulbs above it, 20 in all, and every wild that lands on a reel switches on one of its bulbs. The Wild Activator can still trigger during the round, which can light bulbs faster.
Once all four bulbs above a reel are lit, that reel locks as a full column of wilds for the rest of the round and adds 2 extra free spins. Progress carries from spin to spin: a locked reel stays wild on every remaining spin, and its extra spins give the other reels more time to fill their bulbs.
