Autumn Gold slot review

The simplicity of Autumn Gold only adds to its charm - what’s better than strolling through a field as the leaves change colour and fall from the trees, squirrels at your shoes? Though the 3x3 play board might not appeal to players more accustomed to slots with five reels, there are some fun bonus features, and of course a stripped-back, rural appearance too. Thinking of giving this Eyecon slot a try? Read on to find out what you need to know...

Seeing September

There’s nothing too complicated here - the graphics are simple but charming, set in a cartoon field where everything has an orange glow, from the trees and grass to the sky. On the playboard, you’ll find colorful pumpkins, toadstools, and even jars of jam - everything you’d associate with autumn is here. 

If you like your slots to come with music, you’ll be disappointed as Autumn Gold doesn’t have any songs playing in the background. However, there is the occasional sound effect - most noticeably when you get a winning line. You’ll know that you’ve won when you hear this jovial noise, so you’ll definitely come to love it!

Strolling through the fields

The play board here is quite small, just 3x3 - there are nine symbols at a time. You have a maximum of nine paylines, but you can have as many or as little as you like in play - as a result, your potential bet can be as little as 1p per spin and as large as £90. The Autumn Gold symbol is the most valuable, as you’ll get £100 from a £1 bet if you match three in a line, and it doubles as a wild symbol too, substituting for all symbols apart from the two scatter symbols featured in this Eyecon slot. 

The next most valuable symbol is the owl, which from the same bet would get you £30, and it’s followed by the squirrel, which would award you £10. The remainder of the symbols are less valuable, but should you win, you’ll get your bet back as a minimum. You should also look out for the umbrella scatter symbol, as three of these together will trigger the Prize Pick feature. Here, you’ll be awarded three picks, and each one can get you a prize of up to 111x your total wager. The three prizes will be added together, and so could give you an attractive-looking win!

Christmas comes early?

If you want to win free games, you’ll be in luck! Find three maple leaf scatter symbols anywhere on the play board to win eight free games - prizes for both line and scatter wins are tripled while you play them, so they give you a good opportunity to increase your winnings. Free games are played using the same paylines and wager as the game on which you trigger them, and you have the opportunity to retrigger them a maximum of 15 times.

Perhaps you’re feeling a little more risky this autumn, in which case the gamble bonus might be for you. It pays double or nothing on the last win, so you could either leave with nothing or be twice as thrilled with the result! You’ll be faced with two choices, and you have to select the right one to win. You can continue playing until either you decide to take the win, your next win would exceed £32,000, you make five correct selections, or you get one incorrect. Do you dare to risk it all?

Conclusion

Autumn Gold is a fun game that won’t take you long to get to grips with - it’s simple but still manages to be entertaining with a pleasant theme. The RTP of 95.409% is about average, so there’s no harm in giving it a go. It’s a medium-volatility slot too, so you can expect a good balance between the frequency and size of your wins. Meanwhile, the Prize Pick feature is a nice way to pick up some extra cash, and the free games are sure to excite too.

Provider

Australia’s Eyecon first arrived on the scene in 1997, but didn’t begin to make slots like Autumn Gold until late 2017, with Fluffy Favourites - one of the company’s most popular titles. Since then, they’ve wasted no time in firmly making a name for themselves, with slots and scratch cards including Beez Kneez, Secret Garden and Beat the Bobbies.
