City of Gold
City of Gold by Microgaming is a classic video slot machine with 3 spinning reels and a single pay line. The theme of the game is El Dorado, the fabled “Lost City of Gold.” The symbol set, from highest value to lowest, is a treasure bowl, red seven, triple bar, double bar, watermelon, single bar and any bar. This game is a genuine recreation of a one-armed bandit, and the play is authentic, which means off-center reels. The game also plays extremely fast and smooth, and there is even an expert mode for those who want to optimize their time.

Microgaming’s City of Gold offers a free arcade mode and bets that range from 0.25 to 10. There are only 2 pay lines, but the game allows bets of 1 or 2 coins, which dictates the pay table tier. The payouts on the second tier are simply doubled, so the low roller can play the low tier without sacrificing odds. Unlike most classic slot machines, City of Gold actually has a couple of special features. The bowl/basket of treasures is the jackpot symbol, but it dual serves as a wildcard. The wildcard includes a 2x or 4x multiplier, depending how many wildcards are used to form the winning combo. Additionally, the watermelon has a scatter feature, and it pays out 2-10 coins whenever 1 or 2 watermelons are anywhere on the reels. It may not seem like much, but that feature fires often, and it goes a long way toward making this game as lucrative as it is.
