Free slot: Silverback Gold

How Silverback Gold works

The animal world is one of the most present in the online casino world. This theme is often used by providers, because it is very easy to reproduce, both for the graphics and the sound atmosphere.

In this review we will explain how Silverback Gold works. This slot machine is a creation of NetEnt, one of the most famous slot machine providers in the online casino world. This creation was created in March 2022 and is available at the vast majority of the online casinos that we feature on our platform.

When you go to this slot, you will be immersed in a dense forest where your starting grid will be surrounded by beautiful greenery. The animations on this slot are rather simple and the sound ambiance does its job very well. The starting grid is composed of 5 columns with 4 symbols inside each column.

Connections work in the classic way, i.e. a game round stops as soon as a connection is made. It is important to understand that if no connection is possible in a game round, then the next round is automatically started.

Silverback Gold is a slot machine on which it will be difficult to get bored. Indeed, NetEnt provides you with a feature during your paying games. This feature is very volatile and can make you win a lot of money.

You will also be able to unlock Silverback Gold free spins. There are two different ways to do this, but we'll get to that later. Finally, this slot is open to all types of bettors.

In fact, you can bet between €0.10 and €50 per game round. However, depending on the platforms you play on, the maximum bet may change.

As we have just written in the introduction of this slot machine, a feature is available during your pay games at Silverback Gold. This feature can be used during any round of the game.

So, as you will see in the next section, the Gorilla symbol is the highest paying symbol in this slot. When the slot machine decides to do so, multiple gorillas can be placed on your starting grid.

This feature can make between 6 and 20 gorillas appear. As you can see, the more gorillas you have, and the further they go on your starting grid, the bigger your final win will be.

To understand how this feature works, you just have to look at the two following screens. In the first screen, the feature starts and the A symbol will be replaced by a gorilla. In the second screen, you can see that several gorillas have appeared.

This feature can be used during any paid round and you will not be able to buy it.

The different symbols of Silverback Gold

Silverback Gold is a slot machine with several different symbols at your disposal. First of all, you have a scatter symbol, represented by a gold coin with a red circle in the middle. This symbol only unlocks the free spins and has no value. Thus, it is also impossible to make connections with this symbol.

As with the vast majority of slot machines in the online casino world, Silverback Gold also has a wild symbol. This symbol is represented by a sunset on the bank of a river. This symbol is very popular in the online casino world, as it connects with all the other symbols that are present in the slot, except the Scatter.

As you will see later, this symbol can also appear in x2 and x3. The wild symbol on this slot has no value, but just takes on the values of the symbols it connects with.

After the symbols that we have seen before, we will now look at two categories of symbols that are present in this slot: the premium symbols and the non-premium symbols. First, we will talk about the premium symbols.

These are called this because they have a much lower frequency of appearance than the other symbols, however they pay you more when they are part of a connection. They are represented by different animals that are found in the heart of the jungle:

• The golden gorilla

• A gorilla

• A crocodile

• A tiger

• A snake

• A bird

The following screen shows the values of all premium symbols for a starting bet of 1 euro.

In addition to these six premium symbols, there are six non-premium symbols. As you might expect, these symbols are called that because they appear much more frequently. However, these symbols pay much less when they are part of a connection. They are represented by the highest values in a deck of cards, namely: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 and 9.

The following screen also shows the values of each symbol for a starting bet of 1 euro.

The different connections of Silverback Gold

As explained in the introduction to this slot, Silverback Gold is a slot machine that works with classic connections. However, unlike the vast majority of slots that offer these connections, there are no paylines on this slot.

Indeed, the ways to connect on this NetEnt creation are only through adjacent connections. Thus, in order to win, the same symbol must appear at least once on your first three columns. The more times the same symbol appears on your grid and goes far, the bigger your final win will be.

For those who do not understand how adjacent connections work, the following screen explains it perfectly. On the left is a connection that is not valid, while the starting grid on the right shows you a connection that is valid.

It is important to know that the connections on the Silverback Gold slot machine only work from left to right.

How the Silverback Gold bonus works

Silverback Gold is a slot game where you can unlock free games. In order to do so, you need to get at least three times the scatter symbol on the same game spin. However, depending on how many scatters you get, you will not get the same number of free spins.

• For 3 scatter symbols: you get 10 free spins

• For 4 scatter symbols: you get 15 free spins

• For every 5 scatter symbols: you get 20 free spins

Before your free games start, you will have a little game that will be very important for the rest of your free games.

Gold coins may appear on your starting grid. These coins can appear with the following values: x 1, x 2, x 3, x 5, x 10, x 25.

In a few lines, we will explain what is the interest of these pieces for the continuation of your free games.

You have three different lives. As soon as no coins appear on your screen, you will lose one of the three lives. Each time a coin appears, you get three lives again.

As soon as you lose your three available lives, you start your free spins.

Once you have completed your free spins with the coins, the Silverback Gold free spins begin. On the top of the starting grid you can notice a counter. Each time you reach the required number of coins, the symbols are changed into gorillas.

If you manage to get 300 gold coins before the end of your free spins, you will get the golden gorillas. As you could see in the part that talks about the symbols, it is this golden gorilla that pays the most on this slot.

To get coins, you will have only one way: that coins appear on the gorillas. Indeed, only the normal gorillas can make you appear new coins. The coins that appear can come with the same values as before the start of your free games.

Another feature during the free games at Silverback Gold is the wild symbol. Unlike the basic game where the wild symbol only appears in x 1, during your free games it only appears in x 2 and x 3. In addition, if two wilds are part of a connection, the values of both add up to a final multiplier.

Finally, it is also important to know that the feature present in the basic game with the gorillas is also available during these free spins.

Finally, you will be able to get extra free spins on this slot. Unlike the free games where you will need to get 3 scatters, to get extra free spins you will need to get two.

Thus:

• 2 scatters = 3 extra free spins

• 3 scatters = 10 extra free spins

• 4 scatters = 15 extra free spins

• 5 scatters = 20 extra free spins

Our opinion on Silverback Gold

Our opinion on Silverback Gold can only be good. Indeed, it's been a long time since the NetEnt games provider had made available to players such a good slot machine. First of all, we must highlight the work done by the provider's teams to offer you very successful animations and a lively musical atmosphere.

You will be perfectly immersed in the jungle world thanks to the symbols or the scenery around the starting grid. The feature in the base game can make you win a lot of money, but it is especially the free games that can make you win the jackpot. When you play this slot, you can win up to 45,000 times your initial bet.

For those who do not wish to play the paid spins, you will be able to purchase the Silverback Gold bonus directly. To do so, you will need to spend 100 times your original bet.

Another very important element to consider is the theoretical return to the player. Although this is an extremely high volatility slot, Silverback Gold offers a decent RTP of 96.11%.

As a reminder, you can play Silverback Gold for free directly from Lucky7Bonus and this slot is available at the vast majority of our partner casinos.
