We put the free Sails of Gold slot to the test to uncover the secrets of her paytable, features and real cash potential.

Adjusting number of coins (1-5), number of paylines (up to 10) and coin values (0. The max bet you can place is 50. RTP is 96.
Nautical Reels
The 5×3 reels sit against the backdrop of a Caribbean shore. Illustrations are intricately rendered with a sense of Renaissance romance. Both design and soundtrack are pleasing to the eye and ear.
A compass, a jewel-encrusted pendant and a coat of arms all represent the high-paying symbols, which pay well. Starting with a small reward for just 2OAK at 5x your line bet they rise to 5OAK between 250x-1000x your line bet.
Low-paying paying cards 10 through A make up the reels with Play’n GO’s stock payout offerings of 5x-150x your line bet.
The portrait of a grandiose looking Colombus is the Wild symbol who pays handsomely with 1000x your line bet for 4OAK and 5000x your line bet for 5OAK.
Free Spins Bonus
There are 10 Free Spins awarded for landing three Santa Maria Ship Scatter symbols. During Free Spins the Golden Ship Wild symbol comes into play offering more win line possibilities. You can also retrigger a further 10 spins with three mores Scatters.
As the only bonus feature of the game a lot rests on the Free Spins to produce a good haul. We’ve found volatility to be on the high side in this game with Free Spins challenging to trigger. On a few golden occasions it has been a fruitful round, but, it’s not a given that you’ll amass treasure on every round.
The Free Spins round offers a jackpot win of 250,000 coins, so, patience may well ultimately be richly rewarded.

Microgaming’s delightfully stylised Chinese sea adventure is the free Emperor of the Sea slot.
If you enjoy the style, pace and design of the free Sails of Gold slot, then you should also try the Nostradamus video slot with software by Ash Gaming.
Alternatively, for a ship of a very different nature it’s all aboard Playtech’s The Love Boat video slot. This fun, stylised dating boat is based on the popular American TV series of the same name.
Lacklustre Adventure
The Sails Of Gold bonus is beautifully illustrated, has slick action and an atmospheric soundtrack. It’s appealing to gamblers at the more sedate, cautious end of the market with a relatively low betting range and a deliberate lack of bling.
It’s certainly refreshing to have a well-designed game that isn’t fast and furious, but, with just one bonus option that can be quite challenging, we can’t help feeling Columbus’s’ adventure feels a little lacklustre.
There’s no doubt, this is a very playable game that many gamblers will really enjoy. We recommend you climb aboard and sail into the sunset in search of the New World’s treasures.
