Aristocrats' Where's the Gold originally made its debut in the 'real' world casinos and arcades of Australia. Since then it's gone from strength to strength and in 2012 went global via a selection of online casinos.
Where's the Gold Slot Theme
Aristocrat seems to favor silhouetted backgrounds and this one depicts cactus plants, tall grasses and mountains. This presents a wild west theme, where gold mining was huge. This flows effortlessly onto the reels with a variety of clever graphics.
Our favorite character is the Prospector who has a huge grin on his face and wears a stereotypical outfit which includes a plaid shirt and spotted handkerchief. Other graphics include shovels, picks, wagons, lamps, dynamite and mine shafts as well as a selection of traditional icons (9, 10, J, Q, K and A).
Betting Options and More Functions
The slot offers a maximum of 25 lines which can be configured using a single button. You can also changed coin values between a 0.01 and £4 range which creates a 0.01 to £100 betting range. Once you've chosen your total bet you can spin the reels in the usual way or use fully automated spins which are preset using the button on the left.
Where's the Gold Slot Features
The features are similar to the Pokie version, with a twist that makes them more exciting. You'll win ten free spins and three gold wild icons when three or more scatter symbols show anywhere on the reels. You are then asked to choose one of five characters (Peter Panner, professor gold, Mary Money, Happy Lucky or Winnie Fortune). These characters mine their hearts out during the feature which can gain you extra wilds or free spins which play concurrently.
Keep an eye out for mining tools on the reels during free spins too. These can randomly transform into golden wilds which opens up more winning opportunities.
Our Take on Where's the Gold
The game possesses the same charm as its land based cousin with a fresh look built for high resolution screens. They've included a great collection of features whilst offering sensible, mid and large wagers to attract all types of players. If you're in the mood for a spot of virtual gold mining you could do far worse, to be honest you'll struggle to find many faults. Give it a play yourself using any of our exclusive deposit bonuses, some of which are listed below.

The game is a little lackluster for my taste. Not much to excite me by way of bonus round features.

All in all a good game. There are things that could be better and things that could be worse about it but I did enjoy spinning the reels for awhile.

I know I have played this game before a long time ago but I can't even remember where it was and I cannot recall seeing it at all anytime in the last couple years so I'm guessing they must have gotten rid of it most places like they do with all the good old games unfortunately.

I play this in my favorite land based casinos. It pays better when you bet higher in the places I play. Not sure if that holds true online. But, where can I find it online?

Everyone in this world wants wealth so when he hears about gold then why not he will try to get it. Where's the Gold slot is same to express the man's mentality. When he read the gold he will try to play. Theme is good. Graphics are too good but winning rate is not so good.Bonus features are too good but above of all Luck.

I dont know how this is rated so high, this game is about as dated as games on a floppy disk and the graphics are about as enjoyable as season 1 of the simpsons. There are a few games similar to this and all of them including Gold slot seem to be real stingy in terms of RTP, in any case I have had bad luck with this family...

Maybe im just bitter but its going down as below average for now.

One of the best games made by Aristocrat. I don't play it as often as I used to, but sometimes I get back into the habit. I didn't have much success with this game, so my impressions are limited. The design of the slot machine is correct, and it does not take up much memory when playing on the phone.
