Secrets of the Golden Temple by Reflex Gaming takes us into the jungle, where collecting coins matters as much as matching symbols. Explorer Collectors stand on the outer reels, ready to gather prizes from the middle.
The choice between two free spins modes gives it a distinctive place among our slot games. One develops the collecting features; the other brings extra Wilds and multipliers.
Waterfalls pour down moss-covered cliffs into a turquoise pool, with sunlight breaking through the trees above. Golden temple carvings, a feathered headdress, a mask and a jewelled sword fill the premium symbol positions.
We get a recognisable treasure-hunting setting, with bright gold details against the greenery. The stepped reel layout leaves room for the Coin Stacks and Collector multipliers above it.
A Collector landing alongside Coins awards their combined value, multiplied by the active multiplier above its reel. Collectors on both outer reels can each collect the prizes. Their multipliers reset after a collection in the base game.
Coins landing without a Collector join stacks above their reels. When a Collector later appears without Coins, the temple can shake and drop one or more stacks onto the grid, filling the corresponding reels with Coins.
A Collector landing without Coins can also increase its own multiplier. Each outer reel has a separate multiplier that can reach 16x.
Two Bonus symbols landing on reels two, three or four without triggering free spins advance the Bonus Bar. Filling it awards the feature. Three or more Bonus symbols across the four middle reels can also trigger free spins directly.
Three Bonus symbols award five spins; four award seven. Only Coins, Collectors and Bonus symbols appear, with at least one Collector guaranteed per spin.
Collector multipliers start at 1x and remain after collections. Coin Stacks stay at maximum size. Two Bonus symbols add two spins, while three or more award the original starting allowance again.
The alternative awards ten spins for three Bonus symbols or fifteen for four. Coins and Collectors are removed, and extra Wilds appear on the middle reels.
Wilds involved in wins reveal 2x, 3x or 4x multipliers. Two Bonus symbols add five spins; three or more repeat the original starting allowance.
This alternative base-game mode uses the same stake but removes regular paying symbols and adds more Coins and Collectors. It focuses play on collecting prizes.
The six reels have three, four, five, five, four and three positions respectively, creating 3,600 ways to win. Premium symbols pay from two matches, while card ranks need at least three.
Within our online casino, the outer-reel Collectors give this layout its particular rhythm. Coins can build stacks between collections, while the two free spins choices change which symbols remain in play.
We think Reflex Gaming makes good use of the two bonus choices. Gold Collector Free Spins develop the mechanics introduced in the base game, while Wild Multiplier Free Spins offer a simpler change of pace.
The stacks take a little longer to understand than the familiar temple theme suggests. Once their roles are clear, though, each Collector has an obvious purpose.
