Gold of Persia

If there ever were an online slot game for beginners, this might just be the one! Seasoned players might find the Gold of Persia from Merkur Gaming a bit too simplified, but it really could be just the right game to learn all the ropes when online slot games are concerned.

As the ancient lands of Arabia are quite popular among software providers, you probably won’t feel out of place while playing this one…

…especially as it’s really very easy to navigate and get the most out of it when massive wins are in question.

Theme

As we’ve mentioned earlier, this game is easy to understand and follow, as it has only five paylines across five reels. They are placed against a dark orange background which resembles an ancient Persian city. The overall design might be of poorer quality, but it still delivers the Arabian atmosphere…

…which unfortunately couldn’t be said about the music and the sound effects, which would be much more appropriate in a game with some modern setting.

There’s the usual batch of lower value symbols represented by the letters A, K, Q, and J, and also numbers 9 and 10. These are accompanied by a few higher value ones and they come in the form of an Aladdin’s lamp, a shiny diamond, a blue bracelet, slippers with curved tops, and a gong.

A beautiful princess represents the scatter, while the wild comes in the form of a young, handsome man with a blue hood.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you get a grip on the Spin button and check whether Lady Luck is on your side, you should first get to know the basic controls and functions.

If you want to choose your bets, they can range from 0.05 all the way up to 10.00, and there is also the “Max Bet” button, just in case you are a little too itchy about scoring some massive wins..

…or perhaps if you plan on spend quite a while playing the Gold of Persia, you can use the auto play function, too.

Last but not least, it’s good to know that the RTP is pretty high at 95.97%, so you’ve got great chances of scoring some huge wins!

Features

If the gorgeous princess lands in three or more instances anywhere on the reels, you will be given some free spins, namely:

Three princesses - 15 spins
Four princesses - 20 spins
Five princesses - 25 spins

Anything you win during the free spins will be tripled at the end, so how cool is that?

Wait, that’s not all:
When you score any win while playing the game, you will be prompted to choose between the two available bonus games!

The first option involves playing a game of card guessing and eventually doubling your win with card you guess, but there is also a skill-based game of ladder climbing. Either way, you can win a maximum 140 coins.

Our Take on Gold of Persia

Although fairly simplified, Gold of Persia is the perfect starting spot for all those interested in the magical world of online slot games. Come on in, and make yourself comfortable!
