In May 2016, Playtech launched a brand new online slot machine called Land of Gold and this should gradually continue to arrive at all of our top-rated Playtech powered casinos over the coming weeks. This new Playtech slot is a progressive jackpot slot and it has 5 reels and 576 ways to win per spin. The great news about this game is that it is available in the real money mode and in the free play mode and you can launch it either instantly in your web browser or from within Playtech’s award-winning download client.

There are three different special symbols to keep an eye out for on this new slot and these include the Mushroom Bonus Symbols, the Leprechaun Scatter Symbols and the Land of Gold Logo Wild Symbols. The Scatter Symbols can only ever show up on reels 2, 3 and 4 (the three middle reels), the Wild Symbols can show up on any of the reels and the Bonus Symbols will only ever show up on reels 1 and 5 (the two outer reels).

The progressive jackpot bonus round will instantly trigger when the two Bonus Symbols land in any position on reels 1 and 5 and during this fun little side game you get to watch as the leprechaun jumps to win either a guaranteed coin prize or the progressive jackpot, which at the time of writing is worth more than R650,000.00. The Clover Jackpot will instantly be awarded if you happen to collect three green clovers.

There’s also a Free Spins Bonus which will trigger when a Scatter Symbol lands in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4. When this triggers you will get to take a spin of the wheel to win Free Spins and a Free Spins Multiplier. The other notable feature is the Stacks of Luck Feature which can trigger when all three of the middle reels are filled with matching stacked symbols. This can award anywhere from 5X to 25X times your total bet.

This is a fantastic new jackpot slot from Playtech and we can definitely recommend giving it a try. It has a really wide betting range and its fun game theme should instantly appeal to a wide audience.
