Voodoo Gold

This game is no longer available at Monkey Casino.  Sorry about that chaps! Why not have a spin on ELK Studios’ Zulu Gold slot instead?

This Voodoo themed  game from ELK Studios is set in rather scary (and somewhat swampy) territory. If you want grassy plains and a safari then we suggest you head to Mega Moolah as this game is a touch humid!  It’s time to venture down to Louisiana and into the Voodoo Gold slot.

The Basics

This game is ELK Studios third adventure for treasure hunter Kane Gold. Set in the Deep South, Voodoo Gols slot is packed full of features like,  avalanche drops on the reels, massive icons, and bombs which create icon-changing shock waves and exploding symbols. And it’s Ways to Win game like the Frozen Queen slot, and when we mean Ways, we mean up to 262144 of them!

The Graphics

As a rule, ELK Studios like to bring their creative genius to games and Voodoo Gold slot is graphically impressive with plenty of intricate, creepy details. Here, in Louisiana’s remote and stiflingly hot swamps, evil is afoot.

The reels consist of a wall of icons made up of small tiles – arranged between two tree trucks carved with human skulls.

At times a deserted watchtower also comes into view. Is this the spot where the voodoo takes place? Who knows? But it certainly looks the part.

Voodoo Gold Slot Game Play

The game play in Voodoo Gold slot takes place over 6 reels and a heart-racing 4,096 ways to win. This is a non traditional game along the lines of the Sidewinder slot and others, so pay attention!

Kane is the highest value icon with his red bandana and stubbly jawline. The other high-value symbols include a candy sugar skull, a female voodoo priestess with white face paint, and chap with jewelry for teeth and his eyes shut.

The tools for holding a voodoo ceremony are the mid-value icons, including a top hat with skull decoration, a pair of dice with odd markings, a chicken’s foot and a bottle of poison! The lower value icons include 4 different symbols, including a sheep’s head, a cross, a star and a crossed heart.

A voodoo doll makes the game’s edgy Wild which substitutes for all other icons – except the Bonus which is a green skull.

The Bonuses

Let’s get to the big guns in the Monkey Money stakes:

Avalanche Drops

When you land a win, the tiles explode to allow an avalanche of new icons to tumble into place – few things beat making multiple wins from a single spin!

With each consecutive win on Voodoo Gold, the reels will increase by a single row until they grow up to 8 reels high (by making 8 wins). Playing on said 8 reels will provide you with a champagne-popping 262,144 Ways to Win!

Mega Icons

Randomly during the base game you can land mega 4 x 4 icons – and as you’d imagine this can increase your chances of landing  winning combos.

Better still, these gigantic icons can also leave empty spaces on the reels and when this occurs these gaps become filled with Wilds.

Bomb Bonuses

After any avalanche where a single Bonus icon lands, a Bomb will be lobbed at the reels, exploding icons away to be replaced by new symbols.

If you land 2x bonus symbols in the the Dual Bomb bonus it triggers two explosionson the reels, taking out any icon touching either bomb and calling for a totally refreshed set.

Free Drops

Land 3x or more of the Bonus icons and you’ll launch the rewarding Free Spins Drops feature. Any Wilds landing during this round will become sticky to give your winning combinations a helping hand. And, as each of your wins also increases the number of rows to the reels – 8 rows can give you an insanely large 262,144 ways to win.

The Monkey Verdict

The Voodoo Gold slot is a high variance game that can serve up some big wins if you are lucky (as long as you’re not faint of heart!) and remember to play carefully and within your means.

With massive voodoo icons, bombs, avalanche drops, Free Spins and a potential 262,144 ways to win, you’ll be queuing up to fight it out in the darkness of Louisiana’s swamps!

Monkey Score: 4.5 out of 5 Bananas

A thrilling and highly rewarding dose of Kane-style danger. A creepy cracker.
