Golden Ticket
About Golden Ticket slot machine
Ready for a real old-fashioned circus? Golden Ticket from developer Play'n go is not going to look like anything else you've seen in slot machine road. The game's theme $ etches as you've probably already understood$ing a classic-type circus. So far no oddities. Graphics and sound are in the usual high class, just as we are used to when it comes to Play'n go. However, the game stands out in many other ways. Read on and we'll explain why.
Stakes, set-ups and winnings
You can immediately forget about the usual layout with wheels and rows. There are simply no traditional wheels here. Instead, each game round consists of a field of 25 symbols, 5 in width and 5 in height. The symbols fall down like blocks - a bit like tetris, but without the variation in The Shape of the blocks.
The next unusualness is that there are no paylines to speak of. Instead, it is simply a matter of getting three matching symbols next to each other on a horizontal or vertical line. The symbol combinations do not have to start on the far left – three matching symbols in the middle of the field of blocks give a win.
Simply select your bet by clicking on the value you want to bet at the bottom of the screen. You can choose between bets on €0,10, €1, €2, €10 and €40. Although most people will find a level that feels right, it is a bit far between the steps. That's quite a difference of €2 and €10 – not to mention €10 and €40!
Fortune Teller has a really good theoretical return on investment (RTP) of 96.73%.
Symbols and functions
Wild
The only real special symbol is the wild symbol. These can appear in two ways: completely randomly, just like the other symbols, and when you land a win. When you win, the middle symbol in the winning combination turns into a wild symbol. Wilds substitute for all other symbols.
Falling blocks
Each time you win, the symbols included in the combination disappear. All blocks above the missing blocks then fall down a notch. This way you can win repeatedly on a ”spin”. In addition, a multiplier increases each time the blocks fall.
Bonus games
Finally, there is a bonus game to take a closer look at. This is activated if you manage to uncover the letters ”BONUS” located behind some of the blocks. The bonus round is completely random, but can bring you hefty winnings and is thus always a welcome sight.
Summary
It is difficult to compare Golden Ticket with other slot machines – mostly because it hardly feels like a slot machine! Sure, it's all about getting winning symbol combinations just like usual, but the game's layout makes it a bit of a unique experience. Feel free to test it yourself to see if it is something for you, as it is difficult for us to fully explain the gaming experience in words. Definitely worth a try!
