Voodoo Gold

Electric guitars blast in the background, playing what could very well be a Jimi Hendrix song. Though Voodoo(Vodou) is most often associated with Haiti, it also has a long history in the United States. Especially in the Southern swamps that fill the Mississipi river delta. The latter is where the game is set. This slot comes with all kinds of goodies that you need to check out.

Theme

There is a whole background story in play, though you do have to dig around a bit to find the details. An intro animation wouldn’t hurt the game here. In essence, your main character Kane has made it deep into Lousiana and is looking for a legendary Voodo treasure. He is about to find it, just needs a bit of help from you.

The music and sound effects are an absolute treasure here, and the artwork isn’t bad either. The symbols offer a nice combination of different icons, mixing religion and popular culture at will.  The style of the game might look familiar, and this is because it is. Check out the Ecuador Gold slot for reference.

Betting Options and Functions

There are 262 144 ways to win. Well, that many with the special features, a bit less for your first spin. The game uses the avalanche method, which here means that new symbols and new rows of symbols drop into place whenever you score a win.

The game has twelve basic symbols, and starts with a six times four reel grid. The basic wins are extremely low, but this is simply because there are so many ways that you can score winning combinations.

Features

The main feature, and the most important one, is the avalanche. Every time you score a win the participating symbols disappear by magic and new ones drop in their place. Not only this, but a whole new row of symbols appears as well. This also means that each of these avalanches will lead to more possible ways to win. You can have up to eight rows of symbols(thus doubling the original four).

The game comes with super, mega, and epic symbols. These take increasingly more space on the reels, with the epic symbols filling a 4 x 4 grid. If there is an empty space below a big symbol it will automatically be filled with wilds.

Bonus symbols will activate the avalanche free drops. You can have up to 15 of these, and they come with sticky wilds and a safety level. Each win increases the safety level, which means that you get to keep the extra rows of symbols for the next spin!

...and that’s not all! There’s also the bonus bomb symbol, which will blow a big hole on the reels, eliminating unnecessary symbols.

Our Take

If everything goes right, all the correct special features fire, your betting is on the right level, and the right symbols line up you can win up to half a million coins. This Elk Studios slot is as good as it gets. There’s big wins, plenty of special features, with graphics and sounds that perfect the atmosphere. You should give this one a spin!
