alchemy gold slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

This isn’t the first game I’ve reviewed with an alchemy-focused theme – you might remember the Sweet Alchemy games from Play’N’Go, for example, even if they were a little bit rubbish! Gold pops up even more frequently – Pragmatic Play’s Old Gold Miner Megaways wasn’t too bad, scoring 7.8 in our review just a few months ago. By the time you read this, we’ll likely have published our review of Midas Fortune as well – that game was also published by PGSoft and shares much in common with Alchemy Gold, but it’s a little less demanding with respect to the number of symbols required in a maximum prize cluster. It’s swings and roundabouts, as they say, though – a full screen in this game will pay you 300x your total stake, whilst the most valuable symbols offered in Midas Fortune are worth just 25x the total bet.

The witches hat is an especially valuable symbol in this game, with a payout of 300x the current stake should you manage to land 25 or more of them in adjacent positions. Just in case it didn’t already occur to you though, that’s a full screen – so good luck with that! The same applies to hitting a full screen of any other symbols, even though they all appear in large stacks on all five reels. Should you manage it though, the spell book, potion, and silver ring are each worth 100x the total bet, whilst playing card suits are used for the low-paying symbols. The hearts and spades are slightly more valuable at 90x each, whilst the clubs and diamonds will get you 75x the total bet for a set of 25 symbols. 

High rollers are sure to appreciate the huge maximum betting limit of €200.00 per spin, whilst those with smaller bankrolls will likewise be pleased to find that they can select any multiple of the game's minimum €0.20 bet as well. It’s always nice not to be limited by arbitrary restrictions!

base game & modifiers

Alchemy Gold utilises a 5x5 reel set for a total of 25 symbol positions, and with just eight regular symbols included on the paytable – four high and for low-paying – it’s a game which should offer up a win relatively often. Unfortunately, the smallest winning clusters of five symbols are always worth much less than the cost of a spin – the low-paying symbols can require as many as 10 symbols just to break even! Fortunately, the high-paying symbols are much better in this regard, and just six will usually be enough to return your stake. 

The situation with the low-paying symbols can be improved somewhat if you are fortunate enough to accumulate a  reasonable multiplier during play. Multipliers are obtained by hitting clusters of winning symbols, increasing by 1x each time a symbol removal phase is completed. The multiplier is reset before each game round during the base game, however, so it’s tough to reach a significant value outside of the bonus round.
