Gold canyon Info & Features
Gold canyon online slot
The slot machine “Gold Canyon” from Betsoft takes place in the days of the Wild West, when you could still discover gold nuggets relatively easily in various places. Although no gold can be won in this slot, but with a little luck a lot of money. Since Betsoft slots are known for their high quality, I was really looking forward to testing this game for you.
Design
Betsoft has obviously put a lot of effort into giving its “Gold Canyon” slot an attractive design. Embedded in a rustic wooden frame, the playing field is placed in front of a typical Wild West landscape, more precisely in front of a gold mine. In the background, an idyllic pinwheel spins (albeit a bit too fast at times) and a wagon full of gold coins can be seen on a track bed that leads directly into a mine. Various symbols related to the Wild West are placed on the playing field itself. Such as a sheriff’s star, a wanted poster, a gold nugget, a scoundrel and a cowboy, all beautifully staged. Even the obligatory card symbols fit the game perfectly here. Because in the Wild West, of course, card games were regularly held in the saloon.
In addition to the design, the background music also convinced me. Fortunately, they didn’t rely on random bagpipe music here, but instead added an atmospheric melody. Which is also perfectly enhanced by numerous acoustic highlights (including explosions). This is pure Wild West feeling.
Game principle
Gold Canyon is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with a total of 20 paylines. The aim of the game is very simple. All you have to do is place three identical symbols from left to right on one of the said lines. Of course, five symbols in a row would be optimal, as they trigger a particularly high win. Especially when the typical Wild West symbols and not the classic card symbols appear.
The playing field becomes explosive in the truest sense of the word when dynamite symbols land here. These not only serve as scatter symbols and give you one free spin for each symbol that appears, but also trigger a real explosion. The free gap created by the powerful detonation is then filled with new symbols. Dynamite symbols appear at least three times on the playing field, so you are guaranteed 3 Free Spins. You can also secure a maximum of 15 free spins in this way. Incidentally, the dynamite sticks also pay you a win, so their appearance on the reels is worthwhile in several ways.
Another exciting symbol is the cowboy, who coolly looks down. It is the wild symbol of the game, which also allows for further winning combinations. To be more precise, it is even a so-called expanding wild symbol. When it lands on the field, it stretches across the entire reel, increasing your chances of winning big.
Other special features
It would be nice if “Gold Canyon” had one or the other special feature to offer. Unfortunately, with the exception of the changing background, the base game and the free spins round are identical, which I honestly think is a bit of a shame. Here Betsoft has delivered significantly more innovative slots in the recent past.
Therefore, only the risk game in “Gold Canyon” provides additional variety. Here you can choose one side of a coin and ideally double your winnings. If this is the case, you can continue the risk game indefinitely. But watch out: As soon as you get the guess wrong, the whole prize is gone.
Stakes and Winnings
You can play “Gold Canyon” from Betsoft for as little as 20 cents per spin. You can bet a maximum of 20 euros. If luck is on your side, you can, in the best-case scenario, secure a handsome win of 4,774 times your previous bet. The payout rate of the slot is an exemplary 96.13% and thus just above the magic limit of 96%.
Conclusion
“Gold Canyon” is an optically successful slot, but in terms of versatility it cannot quite keep up with other games from Betsoft. A clear distinction between the actual base game and the free spins round would have been nice here. For example, through multipliers or a built-in jackpot, which would certainly have offered itself with the Wild West theme.
