Golden Ox Slot Review

My ex once bought me this very average old silver pocket watch; it was just something weird I had always wanted. So time goes by, and my ex cheats on me. We call it quits, but he's mad that I broke up with him, so he demands everything he gave me back. I brought up the pocket watch; he told me it's a cheapy he got at a pawn shop. That's the end of that, and the years go by. I find the watch and see no point in keeping it, so I decide to take it to a pawn shop. When they weighed it, it was super heavy. Upon further inspection, they find gold sealed inside. Maybe today is your lucky day to find big wins with the Golden Ox slot.

Gameplay

Golden Ox is a 5 reel and 4-row video slot game.

This game is Chinese-inspired and developed by Endorphina. The game uses transitional filler symbols, the lowest paying too; they can be seen as the 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. The next, higher-paying set of symbols are the red tickets, the lotus, the coy fish, and the lantern. The highest paying symbol in Golden Ox is the hexagon decoration symbol. Although technically, the scatter symbol pays more.

The informational panel can be found marked as the "i" in the top right corner, while all bet and game controls can be found spread out on the bottom of the screen.

Features

Scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 2, and 3; if you get 3 or more scatters among your reels, you will trigger 10 free spins features, and if you get 3 more scatters in the feature round, you are awarded an additional 5 spins. The wild symbols substitute for all other symbols in the reels, except the scatter symbol. The wild symbol becomes sticky during the free spins feature, allowing for more winning potential.

Unique Features

The gamble game in Golden Ox is not only a great added feature, but it's far more unique than the general coin flip one. In the gamble game, you can stake your winnings on a four-card pickup game. The objective is to pick a card that is better than the dealers. If you don't, you lose all your money, but if you choose correctly, you double your money. Golden Ox also provides a rough success rate % per dealer's card.

Performance

The scrolling within the information panel is stunted and does not move with ease, but other than that, the game performs with great ease and does not stutter anywhere else.

Max Coin

The max coin win in this game is 24,000.

Conclusion

This Chinese-inspired game is another excellent development brought to you by Endorphina, a fan-favorite among the gambling industry, and we see why. The design and concept go hand in hand to produce a beautifully executed game. The golden coins and coy fish boast lots of details on a simple background. But the greatest does not stop at the design; the game features are excellent too. This game offers endless fun and rewards with unique wild symbols that turn sticky and a fun double-up game. The only slight issue we had was with scrolling, but nothing that took away from the game. Overall a great game with even better winning potential, be sure to try it out for yourself.
