Oracle of Gold Slot Review (Pragmatic Play)

Oracle of Gold Slot - Demo Play

Pragmatic Play has just dropped its new magical-themed slot, Oracle of Gold, and it’s already making noise. As a brand new 6x6 "Cluster Pays" game, this slot isn't just another pretty face, it's a high-volatility storm packed with multipliers that can lead to a 10,000x max win.

Is this game the new gold standard? Our team did a "first look" review to find out. Here’s our guide to how it works and whether it’s worth your time.

Game Features at a Glance

This is a high-risk, high-reward game. It looks calm, but it's built for players chasing big wins.

How to Play: The "Golden Symbol" Feature

The base game has two key parts you need to understand:

1. Cluster Pays & Tumbles: You win by landing a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols. When you win, the cluster explodes (a "Tumble"), and new symbols fall down to fill the gaps, letting you win again on the same spin.
2. The "Golden Symbol" Feature: This is the most important part. On any spin, some symbols might land with a golden background. If one of these golden symbols is part of a winning cluster...
   • It explodes and transforms into a **Wild symbol** for the next tumble.
   • This new Wild symbol will carry a **2x or 3x multiplier**.
   • If two multiplier Wilds are in the *same* winning cluster, their values multiply! (e.g., a 2x Wild and a 3x Wild combine to make a 6x win).

The base game is all about chaining tumbles to hit these golden symbols, which create multipliers for a shot at a big win.

How to Win: The Free Spins & Global Multiplier

This is where the 10,000x potential comes from. The bonus game is triggered by landing 4 or more Scatter symbols:

• 4 Scatters: 10 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters: 15 Free Spins
• 6 Scatters: 20 Free Spins

During the Free Spins round, a **Global Multiplier** is active. This multiplier starts at 1x and **increases by +1 after every single tumble.**

Here’s why that’s so powerful:

1. The Global Multiplier **does not reset** between spins. It only goes up.
2. The "Golden Symbol" 2x and 3x Wilds still appear.
3. The game **multiplies your Wild Multiplier by the Global Multiplier.**

Example: If your Global Multiplier is 20x and you create a 3x Golden Wild... your win is now multiplied by 60x (20 x 3). This is how the "eruptions of value" happen.

Our Verdict: Is "Oracle of Gold" Worth It?

Yes, if you are a player who likes high-volatility slots.

This is not a casual game for a low, steady session. Our team found that "Oracle of Gold" plays just like Pragmatic Play’s other "storm" slots: you will have long quiet streaks. You will hit many "dead spins" while you wait.

The trade-off? The bonus round is one of the most exciting we’ve seen. Watching the global multiplier climb while you hunt for Golden Wilds is a massive adrenaline rush. The 96.55% RTP is also very generous.

Our advice: This is a great game to try, but you must be patient and play it with a budget you can afford. It’s all about surviving the base game to hit that incredible free spins feature.

A Note on High Volatility & Responsible Play

"High Volatility" means the game pays out less often, but has the chance to pay out very large wins. It can be tempting to keep spinning to trigger the bonus.

Please be sure to play responsibly. This is a game where it's essential to set a budget and stick to it. Never chase your losses. For more information, please visit our Responsible Gambling page.
