If you’ve ever harboured dreams of finding a stash of gold coins while digging in your garden then why not live out that fantasy vicariously by checking out Backyard Gold, an online slot machine with a faintly oriental theme developed by Aspect Gaming; it comes with a generous free spins round and you can find out how it all works below.

Backyard gold is a five reel slot with four rows and fifty fixed paylines; those reels spin within a functional wooden frame which sits against a hazy backdrop in which small, chocolate box houses are just about visible.

Five of the symbols are theme-related and they include the old Chinese man, a pile of gold coins, a red box, a spade and a lantern; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The wild symbol is a big, green ‘Wild’ on top of gold ingots, it appears on reels two, three, four and five and it will substitute for all others to form winning combos except for the Backyard Gold scatter icon.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three, four or five of the Backyard Gold scatter symbols anywhere in view for which you will receive the following:

• Three Scatters – 15 free spins
• Four Scatters – 25 free spins
• Five Scatters – 75 free spins

During this round all wins are subject to a 2x multiplier and it’s possible to trigger more spins by landing more scatters.

Verdict

Backyard Gold is graphically fairly basic but that’s offset by it’s smooth gameplay and playability; there are loads of free spins on offer for the luckiest players and this slot comes with an RTP of 94.13%.
