Fans of golf rejoice because this Playtech slot immerses you in the sport of gentlemen from the very moment the reels load. Golden Tour is a five reel video slot which contains scatters, wilds and the chance to scoop impressive prizes during the themed bonus round. It also includes Playtech's Dollar Ball lotto game which boasts a huge progressive jackpot - fore!

Golden Tour Slot Theme

The graphics aren't reminiscent of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012, but similar to Arnold Palmers tournament golf on the MegaDrive. They aren't boring though and do a great job of setting the scene and brightening up the screen.

Every conceivable piece of golfing equipment has been included as a reel icon. You'll find golf shoes, karts, clubs, flags, balls, pints of ale and a Golden Tour logo on the reels. There's also a gopher, duck and carp symbol which presumably relates to wildlife found at the golf course. Each flashes to signal a winning combination which largely occurs when three or more identical icons combine from left to right (see features for the exception to this rule).

Betting Options and More Functions

Coin values are fixed at £/€/$1 per coin. Players must decide how many lines to wager, as each line requires a single coin. This means bets range from £/€/$1 to £/€/$5 based on the 1 through 5 line options.

Dollar Ball, a lotto style game, has also been included and is the only route to winning the progressive jackpot. It costs one credit and allows players to choose five balls of 49, with two or matches from the mini lotto draw will award a cash prize. The progressive jackpot is given when all five balls are matched.

Golden Tour Slot Features

The double golden golf ball icon will substitute for the silver or bronze balls to create even more winning combinations.

The bonus round is won when three or more gopher, duck or carp icons appear on an active pay line. You are asked to choose the putter, iron or driver and receive an instant win regardless of your choice - it's luck of the draw, just like when I play actual golf!

Our Take on Golden Tour

We enjoy playing golf but appreciate that this slot bases it's outcome on luck and not skill. In our opinion this makes it a safer bet than playing, purely because we are awful at golf. You can play it for free or wager real money at the Playtech casinos below, many of which extend special offers to LCB readers.
