Golden Ticket

Golden Ticket Slot

Golden Ticket is a truly impressive grid slot by Play’n Go with a 5×5 layout and cascading symbols. When it was released in 2018, it was a true standout with its innovative mechanics and creative approach to gameplay.

Years later, it still feels fresh, not least for its theme. Staying away from cute cats, sultry temptresses, and leprechauns, this slot takes you to a circus performance in the 1920s. With an RTP of 96%, Golden Ticket is a medium-variance slot. It features an increasing multiplier thanks to which the max win can reach 2,578x bet size and a bonus game for extra winning possibilities. So step right in, ladies and gentlemen!

How to Play

The minimum stake value is $0.2 and the maximum is $40. If you don’t want to hit the button to initiate every round, open the Autoplay menu and select a number of spins (10 – 100) or choose when the feature stops.

The symbols here include the circus ringmaster, a strongman, a clown, a magician’s hat, weights, and juggling clubs. The Golden Ticket is the wild that replaces all other symbols and brings the highest fixed jackpot of 500x bet size.

There are no paylines in Golden Ticket, so just press the Spin button and enjoy the show. Three or more matching symbols on the reels – horizontally, vertically, or diagonally – form a winning combination. One symbol may complete more than one winning combination.

After you’ve collected your winnings, the symbols from the winning combinations are removed and new ones are dropped in their place. In addition, after every win, the multiplier in the base game, located on the left side of the reels, increases by 1. When you clear the whole grid, you can win 1,000x your stake.

Golden Ticket Bonus Game

On every spin, you will see the letters B – O – N – U – S appear on the reels behind the symbols. If you clear an entire reel with the cascading symbols, they will spell out the word “bonus” and unlock the bonus game. It takes place on a shooting gallery with 10 new symbols, different from the ones in the base game. Any cluster of at least five identical symbols are shot to bring an award. The feature can be re-triggered for up to 20 shots / free spins.

Verdict

Golden Ticket has a lot going for it. Its design and graphics are original and beautifully rendered, perfectly recreating the atmosphere of the circus shows along with the sound effects and music. Its grid layout and cascading symbols add to its unique charm and, along with the increasing multiplier and bonus game, make this vintage-looking release well worth a shot.

The game garnered a lot of interest upon its release and prompted the developers to launch its sequel Golden Ticket 2. It was released in 2020 and came with two new features.
