Golden Gods Review
Max Win Gaming has a decent and varied production under their belt by
now, and Golden Gods comes 8️⃣ with a bonus round that’s very obviously inspired by Money
Train 2. Relax Gaming clearly doesn’t mind though, since this 8️⃣ volatile release is
powered by them via their Silver Bullet program. The Aztec visuals are not anything we
haven’t seen 8️⃣ plenty of times before, and the 25 positions on the 5x5 grid all spin
individually even in the base game.
Without 8️⃣ any wilds in play, you’re at the mercy of
the 3,125 win ways for larger payouts, and premium wins combined 8️⃣ with 1-2 scatters
triggers the indefinite Respins feature. The big highlight is undoubtedly the
hold-and-win style MT2-inspired bonus round, where 8️⃣ 4 special modifier symbols can rock
your world to the tune of 60,000x your stake. The bonus buy RTP is 8️⃣ far from the 98 %
you get in MT2 though, but the Relax brand lends extra credibility to the announced 8️⃣ win
cap.

Golden Gods Slot Features
You win by landing 3+
matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels 8️⃣ from left to right, and the premium symbols
(or “majors”, if we are to use the in-game terminology) all pay 8️⃣ 3x your stake for 5 of
a kind wins. There are no wilds to be found in Golden Gods, and 8️⃣ the scatter symbol is
instrumental in triggering both of the game’s two bonus features.
You trigger the
Respins feature when a 8️⃣ premium/major symbols win land together with 1 or 2 scatters.
You’ll then get indefinite respins as long as you keep 8️⃣ winning, and the feature stops
when you land a dead spin.
The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3+ scatters at 8️⃣ the
same time, and the triggering scatters become sticky cash symbols on an otherwise
cleared grid. You are then granted 8️⃣ 6 free spins, and only more cash scatters, blanks or
4 unique feature symbols can land during the feature. All 8️⃣ non-blank symbols become
sticky when they land, and the feature symbols add +3 extra spins to your tally. Here’s
an 8️⃣ overview of what you can expect:
Regular cash scatters - land with a value between 2
and 8 x your stake.
- 8️⃣ land with a value between 2 and 8 x your stake. Gold cash
scatters - award between 10 and 200 8️⃣ x your stake, as well as +2 extra spins.
- award
between 10 and 200 x your stake, as well as 8️⃣ +2 extra spins. Itzamna - copies a random
cash symbol value, and adds it to all other symbols.
- copies a 8️⃣ random cash symbol
value, and adds it to all other symbols. Ix Chel - will either merge 2 to 4 8️⃣ cash
symbols into a single position by summing up their values, before applying its own
multiplier, or it turns a 8️⃣ feature symbol golden so the modifier triggers on every spin
that follows.
- will either merge 2 to 4 cash symbols 8️⃣ into a single position by summing
up their values, before applying its own multiplier, or it turns a feature symbol
8️⃣ golden so the modifier triggers on every spin that follows. Kinich Ahau - sums up and
collects the value of 8️⃣ all symbols.
- sums up and collects the value of all symbols.
Chaac - doubles the value of up to 3 8️⃣ cash symbols up to 3 times each, and it can also
convert a cash symbol into a feature symbol. In 8️⃣ addition, it can reactivate a spent
feature symbol.
The bonus round ends when you run out of free spins, or if 8️⃣ you manage
to crack the 60,000x potential. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the
bonus round for 150x the 8️⃣ total stake. This awards at least 3 guaranteed scatters on the
spin that follows, and the RTP increases slightly from 8️⃣ 96.07 to 96.12 %.
The 200 Spins
Golden Gods Slot Experience
We grinded along in the base game for a while, before 8️⃣ we
decided to purchase the bonus round at 0:55 into the 2:13-minute highlights video. We
landed a decent amount of 8️⃣ special feature symbols, which prolonged the feature with
plenty of extra spins. You can see it all play out for 8️⃣ yourself by hitting the play

Review Summary
While Golden Gods visual presentation is decent enough,
there is something flimsy about 8️⃣ the game feeling you get when you spin. It’s like the
grid is made of papier-mâché instead of heavy stone 8️⃣ blocks, and the special effects are
not nearly as impressive as in the obvious source of inspiration. A Money Train 8️⃣ 2
spin-off with an Aztec skin is still an okay idea though, and the execution isn’t all
that bad either.
The 8️⃣ streak Respins feature keeps you topped up in the base game,
although larger wins are certainly also possible with 3,125 8️⃣ ways. You’ll have to rely
on extra spins provided by gold or feature symbols, instead of the usual resetting of
8️⃣ the spin tally in the bonus round, and there are only 4 modifier symbols compared to 9
in MT2. The 8️⃣ 60,000x potential is somewhat higher though, which might compel certain
players to jump off the money cart and head for 8️⃣ the South-American jungle.
Pros
Indefinite Respins feature in base game
Sticky cash symbol FS w/ 4 modifier

150x bonus buy (not for 8️⃣ UK players)
Win up to 60,000x your stake Cons Obvious
Money Train 2 copycat
If you enjoy Golden Gods Slot you should 8️⃣ also try:
Money Train 2
- is Relax Gaming’s steampunk mega hit, and it comes with a progressive multiplier
respins feature 8️⃣ in the base game. The hold-and-win style bonus round features 9 unique
modifier symbols, and this can lead to payouts 8️⃣ up to 50,000x your stake. The bonus buy
RTP is 98 %, but not available for UK players.
Money Cart 2 8️⃣ - is a great alternative if
you want as many bonus round triggers as possible. You trigger the feature within 8️⃣ 5-10
spins on average, and it plays out just like in the original MT2. The max win is
reduced to 8️⃣ 5,000x your stake though, but you can play with regular stakes and avoid
bonus buy regulations.
Aztec Gold Megaways - is 8️⃣ iSoftBet’s popular debut release with
the licenced BTG engine, and it plays out on 6 reels with cascading wins and 8️⃣ up to
117,649 win ways. The big highlight is the hold-and-win style Cash Respins feature,
where filling reels with cash 8️⃣ symbols award multipliers up to x7. Jackpots up to 1,000x
can also be achieved, and the overall potential is 19,200x 8️⃣ your stake.
