If the thematic material of Booming Games’ Golden Girls has anything to do with the classic television show featuring four older women living their retirement years joyfully, then the timeline between the two has some noticeable gaps in it. Here, three gorgeous beach beauties (at least four decades younger than Betty White) rule over the reels, with a strong beach theme. The fourth reel is entirely made up of wild symbols, with the exception of one scatter symbol – look out for many wild multiplier symbols to increase win size.
Theme
This game is all about that beach life, right down tot he palm trees. Gaming symbols include three glamorous ladies in beachwear, sunglasses, beach balls, sandals, and the playing card symbols valued ace through jack. This set is rounded out by surfboards half-buried in the sand, which act as wild, and a shark warning sign, which (rather cleverly) acts as scatter. Those buried surfboards may or may not include double, triple, or quadruple win multipliers. A beautiful vista appears behind the reels, where clear, cool ocean reaches into the rolling horizon.
Betting Options and Functions
There are two ways to adjust betting in Golden Girls: bet per line, which can be set from 0.01–10.00, and paylines, which are adjustable from 1–25. This combination yields a very broad overall bet range of 0.01–250.00 times the betting currency per spin, sure to attract high rollers in the mood for the beach. Autoplay can be engaged for up to 100 spins, with options to confirm/adjust bet size to be sure no mistakes are made. Additional information and player options are made available through icons at the top of the game screen.
Booming Games offers a seaside twist to its usual Gamble feature. Instead of playing a card game, players can choose to go double-or-nothing with every base play win by correctly guessing the color of a soon-to-be-revealed surfboard. Wins can be gambled again, with no limit (except hubris) up to 10,000 times the betting currency; any loss forfeits the entire win total.
Features
Free spins provide bonus fodder in this game. Ten free games are awarded by the appearance of three shark fin scatter symbols on the reels. The blue sky will turn to the burning red of sunset as the reels begin to spin, and players can watch as win totals add up.
Our Take
Golden Girls may offer plenty of the dreamiest elements real life has to offer, but as an online slot, it makes for a rather shabby game. Thanks to lackluster free spins and a total lack of original features, gameplay becomes monotonous quickly, with nothing to break up the rhythm as play continues. Perhaps Betty White and company will make better thematic material for the next Golden Girls slot.
