How to Play the Golden Ticket Slot
Golden Ticket is a showstopper of a slot, developed by Play’n Go. It has 5 reels of 5 symbols, with 40 paylines and bets starting at 20p per spin. With the ringmaster, strong man and clown taking the lead in the main game, there is also a golden ticket wild to help boost winning paylines. You can expect to trigger a bonus game and benefit from a special multiplier feature with winning combinations in this casino slot.
Visit a funfair with a twist, You will be greeted by either the ringmaster, the strong man or the clown by the side of your reels to accompany you while you spin. In the background, we have the classic circus tent and, is that a Ferris wheel in the distance?
Crank up the volume as the Golden Ticket slot show begins, and you will hear the sounds of all the nostalgic funfair hustle and bustle. While you spin, you will hear the crowd nattering while they wait for you to hit the wins and big features!
It might look like there is a lot going on both in and beside the reels, but don’t worry, all will be revealed.
Place your Bet
There are 40 paylines in the Golden Ticket slot. All of these paylines will be in play throughout your game. In a magnificent change from what we’re used to, these paylines run not only horizontally and diagonally, but vertically, too!
When it comes to deciding how much to bet, the minimum is 20p per spin. It is a simple bet to set up, as it encompasses all paylines. You can increase the coin bet if you wish, up to a maximum of £40 a spin. When you are happy with the amount you have set, you can get ready to play.
The green spin button will set the reels turning.
Winning at the Funfair
Landing three or more of the same symbols in any direction will award a win of some kind. When this happens, the winning symbols will be removed, allowing for new symbols to drop down into place. Each win made during a new symbol drop on the reels will increase the multiplier on the left-hand side of the reels. This means that the more you win, the more they are multiplied!
Now let’s see what’s worth what.
The ringmaster, obviously, is the leader here and so he is worth the most. Landing the maximum of five of him in any direction could award you up to 25 times your bet.
Three perfectly poised strong men will be handy for your prize fund but imagine what five could do? Five-of-a-kind across a payline can pay out 15 times your bet.
The next character we’ve got on the reels is the clown. Also offering a maximum payout of 15 times your bet, the clown can work some magic on your winnings.
We also have some of the characters’ props on the reels, too. There are two versions of the ringmaster's hat, one with what looks like a whip. Each of these has the same value, but you will need to land five of the same variation of the hat on a payline to win. You could be looking at up to ten times your bet for this.
Next, we have two weights belonging to the strong man. While we might not be able to lift them, we may be able to land three or more of them on a payline! The top payout for five identical weights in any direction is 7.5 times your stake.
Lastly, the clown’s maracas can pay out up to 5 times your stake if you land five paid of them on a payline.
Showstopping Specials
The Golden Ticket slot has two special features which, with some lucky landings, could be triggered to offer you some good wins!
Golden Ticket Wild
A Wild symbol substitutes for any of the standard symbols in play, helping you to make the most of what you’ve got on the reels.
In the Golden Ticket slot, a Wild will be left behind after a winning combination is made. If you then make another winning combination, another Wild will appear, giving you even more opportunity to create winning combinations!
If you land five Wilds on a payline, you would win 500 times your bet.
A step further, if you can manage to clear the whole grid, you could win 1000 times your bet!
Bonus Symbol
As you spin, you may see that the word ‘Bonus’ is hidden behind each reel. If in one spin, you can clear a whole column to reveal the full word, you will trigger the bonus round.
In the bonus round, you will be taken to a separate game within the game. It looks like one of the fairground games where things pop up, and you have to shoot them. There's no shooting here, though.
The symbols will pop up, and if there are five or more which match across the whole game, you will win. Each new symbol within this bonus round has its own worth, but the clown is worth the most.
If you can find five ‘bonus’ symbols in the bonus round at once, you can trigger more games in this feature.
Golden Ticket Slot Review
Our verdict? We love it. There are more symbols on the reels than in many standard games. This, and the fact that there are more directions to win in, means that it is a fast-paced and exciting slot to play.
We love the circus funfair theme of the game, and the bonus round’s additional game helps to shake things up a bit. The multiplier feature which increases the wins the more you win, well, that’s just great.
The Return to Player (RTP) value of the Golden Ticket slot is 96.73%.
