Are you a fan of futuristic stories and their mutant action heroes? And do you like to see them everywhere, even in your favorite casino? If you’re among those who simply cannot resist when they see a superhero styled video slot, then you may be interested in checking out Rival’s new release – “Goldenman,” which will turn the whole machine into a yellow river of gold, read your mind, and perhaps grant your wish to leave the casino rich… or at least richer.

“Goldenman” is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slot which is all about its main hero, who can be seen all over the slot, in different positions and angles. Graphically, the slot is based on simple, comics-style illustration. However, as simple as the graphics are, they wouldn’t be a problem, because they’re still appealing.

The only problem may emerge in too many different Goldenman symbols on the reels, because they all look alike and may create confusion in the first 10 minutes of play, until you manage to tell them apart. However, apart from the Goldenman, there are also special symbols and features, such as expanding wilds, 2 scatter symbols, 1 bonus round, and free spins with a multiplier.

However, to get any of those and be able to win some nice prizes, you need to set your bet amount values first. The coin denominations on offer are not too varied – they go from $0.01 to $0.25, but to expand the range, there’s the possibility of placing up to 10 coins per line.

With this selection, you will certainly have at your disposal a range wide enough to cover your playing preferences, whether you are a highroller or lowroller. And keep in mind, if you do opt for max coins and lines, you will receive an extra shot in the bonus round, with which you can make a difference and hit a bigger prize.

Special Features:

“Goldenman” has a number of special features that can help you boost your account balance. One of them is the wild symbol in shape of a rocket which expands to occupy the whole reel and replace other regular symbols in order to bring more prizes. It only appears on reel 1 during the normal games, but more of them are added during free spins to reels 2 and 3.

Then there’s the Goldfly Icon, which serves as a scatter that triggers the Goldenman bonus round when three or more of them appear on the reels. In the bonus round your goal is to shoot down enemy rockets each of which contains a prize. Also, you’ll receive an extra shot if you play on max coins and lines.

Another scatter is the GoldHand Icon, three or more of which will start a Free Spins round, where all prizes are multiplied by two. This feature is only occasionally generous, but it’s more likely that you’ll receive moderate to lower prizes in it.

In general, “Goldenman” is an interesting slot, mostly due to its special features. If it were only for its graphics and sounds, it would deserve a lower mark, but the features, which can be rewarding once in a while, deserve this recommendation.
