Introduction to Gold of Persia

Gold of Persia is a casino slot from Edict that takes us to a classic Middle Eastern setting. Released in 2011, Gold of Persia is an old-school classic that’s still being played today, and is one of those games that you’ve probably seen in a corner of your local pub for years. While we wouldn’t exactly say that’s because this is a timeless game, just that it was great for its time and has remained a nostalgic favorite for many players. This comes down to the fact that the gameplay loop is very linear, based around Wild Symbols and a Free Spins feature, both of which come with their own Win Multipliers, which, coupled with the already solid paytable, can lead to some really solid wins. So, tag along as we take a trip through time and revisit a decade-old classic with a max win of 5,000X the bet.

Take to Persia, where a true and tested formula for decades has shown that it still has it in it, with a gameplay loop of Wilds and Win Multipliers that are all that’s needed for big payouts. If you want to try the game for yourself, be sure to check out the Gold of Persia demo.

Theme, Gameplay, & Payouts

Gold of Persia is a video slot from Edict with 5 Reels, 3 Rows, and 5 Paylines. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 20. Gold of Persia comes with an average RTP of 96.1%, low volatility, and a surprisingly high, for its time, max win of 5,000X the bet.

As the title would suggest, we’re in Persia, presumably the old capital Persepolis, as we find ourselves on the rooftops. As was usual for these old games, there isn’t really any soundtrack or the like here, instead, we have the usual arcadey sound effects that feel a bit ill-fitting. You can play the game on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads.

The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 15X to 20X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a gong, shoes, a wristband, a lamp, and a diamond. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 30X to 150X the bet. Then there are the two Special Symbols, which are the two-character Wild and Scatter Pay Symbols.

Special Features & Mechanics

What features are available in the slot Gold of Persia?

The features are Wild Symbols, Scatter Pay Symbols, Free Spins, and Gamble.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatter Pay Symbols. Whenever a win has a Wild part of it, it's also multiplied by 2X.

Scatter Pay Symbols

Scatter Pay Symbols don’t need paylines to form a win, needing 2 or more symbols on the grid for a payout. Landing the max of 5 of the same symbols will pay out 500X the bet.

Free Spins

By landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols on top of the payout, you will also be awarded 15, 20, or 25 spins in the Free Spins feature. During the bonus game, all wins will be multiplied by 3X.

Gamble

After landing a win, you are given the option to utilize either the Card Gamble or Ladder Gamble feature to increase your payout, but at the risk of decreasing or even losing your win.

Final Thoughts on Gold of Persia

Gold of Persia may just hit its 2-decade anniversary in a few years, and still be regularly played by old-school fans and nostalgia lovers alike. While we see the appeal of old classics, we also think there are a lot of great modern releases that can kinda do the same thing, but better. Looking at Gold of Persia in today’s standards, it’s quite an ugly-looking game with a lacking theme and the typical classic sound effects that we’ve heard a million times before, but there’s also a weird charm to those aspects that’s hard to really describe.

Well, no matter how strange certain aspects may be, one thing that we’re clear about is that Gold of Persia, even for being quite old in iGaming standards, to this day delivers on a solid gameplay loop, that is, if you like Wilds and Paylines. If you’re looking for Jackpots, unique bonus games, or even something as simple as Cash Prizes, then you won’t find that here, which has its ups and downs. While you’ll always know what you’re getting with each spin, there’s also no real difference between them, even from base game to bonus game, just an additional Multiplier, which is welcomed, of course. Gold of Persia can feel a bit dragged out in longer game sessions, but can occasionally pop off with great payouts thanks to its Multipliers, either from the bonus game or Wilds, but can struggle to keep players engaged long enough.

Gold of Persia is an old-school slot game that’s still active today, thanks to its Multiplier Wilds, Multiplier Free Spins, and solid paytable.
