Free slot: Voodoo Gold

How Voodoo Gold works

Back with Kane in this new slot. Head to the misty swamps and its old trees with skulls on Elk Studio's Voodoo Gold slot. This one was released in 2019 and is still fun to discover and play. Let's take a look at how this slot works, in more detail.

You would almost feel like you are in Florida with its mosquitoes and alligators in Voodoo Gold. This slot has some well-chosen intricate elements to allow for some nice connections and hope to get the jackpot which is 5,000 times your bet.

Voodoo Gold is full of surprises! It starts with 6 reels and 4 lines, but as soon as you make a connection, a new line will appear, the connected symbols will disappear and new symbols will fall on the reels. You can go up to 8 lines. In addition to its 12 symbols, giant Wilds and Sticky Wilds, its bonus feature is interesting, you clearly won't be disappointed with this slot from provider Elk Studio.

The payout ratio (RTP) is 96.1%, which is about average, you can bet from 0.20 cents to a maximum of 100 euros. The volatility of Voodoo Gold is very high.

The different symbols in Voodoo Gold

The Voodoo Gold slot has more than 12 symbols. Many classics, some premiums, a rather special scatter and wilds. Let's start by looking at the 4 premium symbols of the slot:

• Kane;

• Golden Skull;

• Braided Voodoo;

• Voodoo.

Next to it, you will find 8 classic symbols:

• Black Hat;

• Two yellow dice;

• Crow's foot;

• Poison;

• Red heart;

• Blue star;

• The yellow goat skull;

• The green cross.

The multipliers in the image below are based on a bet of €1.

Wilds are important, especially the big symbols which can be 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 in size on the game. Firstly, these large symbols can make a bigger connection with the corresponding symbol, but their second function is even more interesting. If there is an empty space under the big symbol that does not make it fall, then this empty space will be replaced by Wilds symbols.

Once the big symbol has reached the last line, it stops and does not produce a Wild anymore, it will stay there until a connection makes it disappear.

As for the Scatters, they are represented in the form of a bomb. The scatter will arrive on the game screen and explode only after the various connections are completed. The bomb explodes to make room for new symbols. The same goes for the two bombs, but many more symbols will be destroyed. After 3 symbols, you will get free spins:

• 3 bonus symbols win you 6 free spins.

• 4 bonus symbols win you 9 free spins.

• 5 bonus symbols win you 12 free spins.

• 6 bonus symbols win you 15 free spins.

The different connections in Voodoo Gold

There are many connections in the Voodoo Gold slot machine. Indeed, as you can see in the picture below, you can create a connection from the same 3 symbols on the reels from the left, regardless of their position on the lines.

When you are at least in the base game with 6 reels and 4 lines, you have 4,096 possible connections to create a payline. Conversely, when you unlock all 8 lines, you increase the number of paylines to 262,144. That's a lot of ways to get closer to the jackpot!

How the Voodoo Gold Bonus Works

As we saw earlier, the bonus feature unlocks with a minimum of 3 Scatters for 6 free spins. During these free spins, all Wilds will be sticky and will go to the bottom line for the duration of the bonus, once the spin is complete.

Provider Elk Studios has made us used to this "Safety Level" feature which increases the number of lines you will have on the next spins. This way, the lines will not be reset on the next spin.

You'll need some luck to hope for big symbols and lots of wilds to hit the jackpot, which is 5,000 times your original bet.

Our opinion on Voodoo Gold

Elk Studios offers us a wet and a bit scary universe around the theme of voodoo. Voodoo Gold is very well done, whether it's for its animations, the quality of its graphics or the musical atmosphere.

The RTP remains classic and the very high volatility makes us hope for a huge gain, maybe x5000! The "Avalanche" feature is still there, but it always adds something pleasant. The possibilities are huge with 8 lines, bringing the number of paylines to a whopping 262,144.

The bonus feature doesn't add much more than free spins and sticky wilds. While the big symbols and scatters, in the form of bombs, seem to have a much higher impact to boost the game and increase the winnings.

The provider Elk Studios has accustomed us with its original and pleasant to play slot machines and Voodoo Gold is no exception.
