El Dorado The City of Gold

Don your explorer gear as you are about to go on a quest to find the legendary lost city on the slot from Pragmatic. El Dorado The City of Gold is taking you deep into the South-American jungle where the indigenous Muisca people and their mythical tribal chief have been the subjects of countless tales and rumours surrounding a supposedly lost city full of silver and gold.

El Dorado remains to this day an undiscovered myth that for centuries has fascinated conquistadores, explorers and archaeologists alike. The tribal chief is playing a central role in this slot creation as a stacked wild symbol while a Money Collect feature and a free spins round can lead to wins of up to 10,500 times your bet.

Slot Details

El Dorado The City of Gold is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 25 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can go on a quest to find the lost city on desktop or mobile from 0.25 to 125 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility (3/5) with an RTP of 96.50%.

Firing up the game will bring up a typical scenery that always comes to our minds when we think of the ancient civilizations in South America. Lush vegetation that seems to be greener than green, typical temples, a sprawling waterfall and sunrays protruding through scattered clouds complete a picturesque scene that you would typically find on a postcard. A native flute soundtrack completes the slot design.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, beautifully ornamented with tribal markings and awarding across the board 4x your bet for a single five of a kind. The premiums are frogs, toucans, leopards and an Aztec princess. Hit five on a line to win 5x to 32x your stake.

The Aztec tribal chief is the wild symbol, appearing stacked at all times on reels two to five and substituting for all regular pay symbols. A typical Aztec temple acts as the scatter while a tribal emblem with a red gem is the money symbol. Lastly, five differently coloured masks are the collect icons, appearing on reel five only.

El Dorado The City of Gold Slot Features

Initially released in January 2020 exclusively at PokerStars and Full Tilt Casino, the game has more to offer than just stunning visuals. While the stacked wilds on the four back reels can lead to an all-lines pay resulting in a sizeable win, the main potential lurks in the two bonus features – Money Collect and Free Spins.

Landing one or more of the intricate Aztec emblems anywhere on the front four reels and one of five collect masks on reel five will trigger the Money Collect feature. Each Aztec emblem is marked with a coin value ranging from 1x to 25x your total stake. Based on which mask lands on the triggering spin, you’ll have the following outcomes:

• Red Mask – Collect: All values on the money symbols in view are added and paid in one amount, the least desired option.
• Blue Mask – Extra Credit Collect: The mask will unveil an extra coin win which will be added to each of the money symbols in view before they are again added and paid in one amount.
• Purple Mask – Multiplier Collect: The mask will unveil a random multiplier from x2 to x25 which will be applied to the total value from the collected money symbols.
• Turquoise Mask – Expanding Collect: All reels containing at least one money symbol will expand to cover the entire reel with money symbols, which will unveil a new random coin win. All are then added and paid in one amount.
• Green Mask – Respin Collect: All money symbols in view are locked in place for one free respin. Any further landing will be added to the existing values and paid in one amount.

It all gets even more suspenseful in the Free Spins feature. Hitting three temple scatters anywhere on the three middle reels will trigger 8 free spins, which can be indefinitely retriggered, plus, the Money Collect feature is available as well, performing in a similar fashion as in the base game.

There is though one kicker that will have a significant impact on your total winnings from the round. The values of all money symbols landing on the reels during the feature will be added to the bonus pot displayed in the top right corner. Once all free spins have been played, the game will award one more spin with the total value of the bonus pot placed on a giant 3×4 money symbol. Reel five will respin once and landing a collect icon will award the bonus pot winnings. The best collect symbol to hit on the respin is the Purple Multiplier Collect icon as it will multiply the win by up to x25.

Final Verdict

El Dorado The City of Gold is not a spectacular slot but it provides a solid gaming experience with two features that can deliver mega wins of up to 10,500 times your bet. We have some doubts on how the maximum is achieved but in our test runs we scored rather easily a few good payouts in the 100x to 250x range. Not huge, but surely sufficient to have us don our explorer gear more often to go on a search for El Dorado. We expect to see the slot being made available networkwide once the exclusive period with PokerStars expires.
