Golden Goddess Slot Review

Overall Opinion about Golden Goddess Slot

When I load up the Golden Goddess slot, it always feels like stepping into a calm little Ancient Greek casino in the clouds. This is a 5 reel, 3 row, 40 payline video slot from IGT with Super Stacks on every spin. The pace is steady, wins drop in quite often, and the game is built for long, relaxing sessions rather than wild swings.

From long play, my view is that Golden Goddess is a low to medium volatility game with small but frequent line hits and the odd burst when the stacks line up. The main drawback for me is how rare the free spins can be and the fact you only ever get seven of them, but the potential when full stacks land keeps me coming back.

Golden Goddess Theme and Unique Features

When you look at Golden Goddess, the theme is a mix of Greek mythology and soft fantasy. Reels spin in front of a mountain temple, with the Goddess, her handsome companion, a horse and a white dove as the main picture symbols. The soundtrack has that spa like quality IGT do well, and even though the graphics are older, the whole package still feels quite crisp.

The standout feature for me in Golden Goddess is Super Stacks. Before every spin, each reel chooses a symbol to appear in large stacks, which can be anything from low cards up to the logo Wild or Goddess herself. When two or more reels pick the same symbol, the screen can fill with matching tiles, turning a quiet session into a very decent win in a single spin.

Golden Goddess Bonus Features

In Golden Goddess, the bonus features are built around stacked symbols and a simple free spins round. The Wild is the game logo, which substitutes for everything except the red rose Bonus symbol. Roses only land on reels two, three and four, and when all nine positions on those reels show roses, you trigger the Free Spins Bonus with seven spins at the same stake as the triggering spin.

Once the roses land, you pick one rose from a grid to reveal which high symbol becomes stacked for the whole free spins feature. It can be the Goddess, the man, the horse or the dove. I have had rounds where the chosen icon barely showed, and others where the reels were packed with it. You cannot retrigger the feature, so when it does drop you want that one shot to count.

Golden Goddess Payouts

In terms of payouts, Golden Goddess uses ten main symbols plus the Wild. The logo Wild is by far the highest payer, giving 1000 times the line bet for five of a kind, 250 times for four, and 50 times for three. The Goddess pays up to 50, the man 40, the pink horse 30 and the white dove 20, with A to 10 as the lower symbols.

One thing I like about Golden Goddess is that some symbols pay from just two on a line. The Wild, the Goddess and the male character all award small wins for a pair, which helps keep the balance ticking over during long sets of spins. With Super Stacks, it is quite common to land full screens of matching icons, which is how you hit the jackpot style 1000 coin awards.

As for RTP, Golden Goddess usually sits in a range from about 93.5 percent up to around 96 percent, with many casinos setting it close to 94.75 percent. On paper that is lower than a lot of modern video slots, but the variance is low to medium and the hit rate feels decent. In my sessions I rarely went more than a few spins without some kind of line win appearing.

Mobile Experience with Golden Goddess

Golden Goddess works very well on mobile for me. The game is built in HTML5, so I have played it on Android phones, iPads and laptops with the same interface, five by three layout and 40 fixed paylines. The auto spin options and graphics quality settings carry across nicely, so you can let it run for ten to fifty spins on the sofa, on the bus or wherever you fancy playing.

How to Play Golden Goddess Online Slot

Learning how to play Golden Goddess online is very straightforward. There are 40 fixed paylines, so your total stake is the line bet multiplied by forty. Most versions I have seen start at a minimum of 0.40 per spin, rising up into three figure territory on some sites. Set your stake, press spin, and the game pays for three or more matching symbols on a line from left to right.

Because Golden Goddess is a low to medium volatility slot, I like to play it with moderate stakes and longer sessions. I keep an eye on the Wild logos and the red roses, as these are the keys to the bigger hits through stacked Wilds and the free spins feature. If I am grinding towards the bonus, I often use auto spin in blocks of twenty or thirty spins at a time.

Final Thoughts on Golden Goddess Slot

For me, Golden Goddess is a slot that shines when you want an easy going, almost meditative spin with the chance of a few very nice stacked symbol wins. The RTP is on the low side, so I treat it as a fun, steady game rather than a hardcore grinder. If you like fantasy themes, soft soundtracks and the thrill of seeing whole reels of the same icon, it is well worth a try.
