Emerald Gold (JustForTheWin) Review

Just For The Win is not taking any chances with the theme, moving from the ever-popular wild west genre in Western Gold, to the equally evergreen Irish Fortune motif in Emerald Gold. The 2 games are very similar in all ways, but this sequel comes with a significantly beefed up math model. Not that the first game was all that tame to begin with, and we’re now looking forward to what could be a scatter win Gold series from JFTW.

The Microgaming partner seems to have gone on a mission lately, proving themselves with one volatile beast after another. Perhaps they’re trying to escape the image created by their earlier releases, as they started out with far more casual-friendly stats. Whatever it is, we say keep 'em coming, as Emerald Gold offers explosively potent scatter wins to the tune of 25,000x, and the Hold & Respins-inspired bonus round holds the same eye-watering potential.

Emerald Gold Slot Features

The wild symbol is a golden ‘W’, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols like wilds usually do. The wild pays the same as the highest value 7 symbol, and 5 on a payline is worth 30x your stake.

The lucky 4-leaf clover is the scatter symbol, and you need at least 4 anywhere to land an instant cash prize. Massive payouts can be landed from the 4-leaf clover, as 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 scatters equals a 1x, 5x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x or 2,500x payout, respectively. Should you be so lucky as to land 12 scatters, you crack the game’s max win of 25,000x your stake.

You trigger the Bonus Round when you land 3 golden hat bonus symbols anywhere on the 3 middle reels (that is reels 2, 3 and 4). The free spins round is similar to a Hold & Respins feature, where you start out with 3 spins.

Scatters that land during the bonus round are collected, and the free spins tally is reset to 3 again each time you land a scatter. The number of scatters you’ve collected are summed up when the feature ends, and you win the corresponding scatter prize as described above.

Non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 52x your stake, and this guarantees you 3 golden hat bonus symbols on the following spin. The bonus round plays out as if triggered organically.

The 200 Spins Emerald Gold Slot Experience

We certainly enjoyed the predecessor game from Just For The Win, and we were therefore more than eager to try this beefed up, Irish Luck follow-up title. We’ve put together a brief and edited video showing all the highlights from our 200 spins test session, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

From one popular theme to the next, Just For The Win has basically beefed up their already potent Western Gold with this Irish Luck release. It’s fair to say that Emerald Gold is a reskin with a different math model, as the 2 games definitely look like they’re cut from the same cloth. The features are the same also, but here the top scatter prize awards 25,000x your stake instead of 10,000x.

The regular single spin max win is “only” 1,200x your stake however, so scatters are truly the key to glory. The possibility of larger scatter payouts in the base game helps keep up the tension, and collecting scatters during the bonus round can be quite a thrill-ride when things go your way. It’s safe to say that fans of the first game are also gonna like this sequel, provided that you don’t mind the change of scenery.

If you love Emerald Gold Slot you should also try:

Western Gold - seems like an obvious choice if you like the game at hand. It’s the first in what looks to be a JFTW scatter win series, and here the top prize amounts to 10,000x your stake. The features are all the same, but the game stats are different.

9 Masks Of Fire - is a Gameburger title that’s clearly been the source of inspiration for JFTW. The base game comes with scatter wins up to 2,000x your stake, and the bonus round comes with 2x or 3x multipliers and unlimited retriggers.

9 Pots of Gold - is a reskin of 9 Masks Of Fire, and it should be perfect for players who love the Irish Luck theme. The volatility is medium in both these games, which makes them more suitable for casual punters.
