Dwarven Gold is an interesting game, with a theme that hasn’t been approached quite in this way before, and I’m surprised since the love of gold that dwarves have is well known since the Lord of the Rings movies came out. The game takes advantage of the fondness that people have for dwarves, showing them off in many of the game’s symbols, along with a treasure chest, an obvious choice perhaps, but which I wish it was replaced by a gold mine. The developer which offers this game is called Top Game.
5 reels are used in Dwarven Gold, with a maximum of 25 active lines. There are plenty of features inside as well, including free spins with 6x multipliers, bonus rounds, scatters and wilds. Prizes of up to $2,500 are advertised.
Features of Dwarven Gold
The features that one can expect in Dwarven Gold are all typical for the industry and for modern slot machines. You get the wild symbol inside, you have scatters and you can trigger free spins with multipliers of 6x.
Without a very clear connection to the dwarves, the wild symbol uses the image of a Black Cat to represent it. Acting as a wild, this symbol will substitute for any other regular symbol, the scattered Butterfly not being on that list. Combinations can form with both matching regular symbols and Black Cat wilds in them, the former being the one that determines what the payout will be. Wilds can’t form their own combinations in this game.
Scatter symbols use the image of the Butterfly in Dwarven Gold, and once again I don’t see the connection with the theme, since dwarves are not known for their love of cute insects. To get paid through the scatter symbol, all you need is for a certain number of Butterfly icons to be present on the reels at the same time. Payouts of 2x to 100x the wager are offered, in exchange for two to five symbols.
Free Games Feature
A free spins feature is also offered by the game, involving a minimum of three Butterfly scatters when it’s triggered. The result will be a bonus round with a maximum of 33 free spins awarded and with multipliers at 6x, making the prizes of the slot much more valuable.
Betting options and jackpots
For each payline that the game uses, the wager can vary between $0.01 and $5, allowing you to make total bets of up to $125 each round when all the lines are selected.
The best rewards come from the Chest symbol, which pays 500 coins back to you, or up to $2,500. There is also a prize from the scatter symbol, of 100x the bet, so up to $12,500. Finally, the free spins apply multipliers of 6x, so the prizes can be improved further under the right conditions.
Design and symbols
The setting in which the story takes place does look like it’s inspired by the fantasy genre. You have huge toadstools in the background image, which appear to be used as houses. On the reels, things get a lot more interesting. The four dwarves are in a pub, drinking ale and having fun. Various other symbols are used, including some nature themed playing cards which are surrounded by vines.
Symbols: Cat (wild), Butterfly (scatter, 100x wager), Treasure Chest (500 coins), Pink Dwarf (250 coins), Red Dwarf (200 coins), Blue Dwarf (125 coins), Yellow Dwarf (125 coins), Ace (100 coins), King (100 coins), Queen (75 coins), Jack (75 coins) and 10 (75 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The game should definitely be worth your time, though this is mostly because those free spins have such big multipliers to offer. It’s also a good looking game, with all the features you would expect from a modern title.
Dwarven Gold can be found at any Topgame casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
