Slot Review: Gobblers Gold

On the fourth Thursday in November, us Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Supposedly, this is in commemoration of the friendship between the English pilgrims and the Native Americans who helped them farm and shared in their harvest so that the white men could survive the long winter in a strange land. Of course, the diseases, famine, and war that our forefathers brought along with them have been swept aside in the annals of history! Those who prefer a more sanitized origin myth for their day of plenty will enjoy Gobblers Gold, an online slot game that brings to life the holiday in a syphilis-free manner.

Gobblers Gold is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot from the Rival software company. Coin values range from one cent to a quarter, with max coins set at ten. The jackpot is fixed at seventy-five hundred coins. The slot game is set on an appropriately autumnal brown background festooned with colorful maple leaves. The reels feature cartoonish images of harvest symbols (the cornucopia, sheaves of wheat), food (pumpkin pie, apples, and pumpkins), and quaint little pilgrim homes. The turkey is wild, the Mayflower ship in sail is the scatter symbol, and the bearded pilgrim man awards you free spins.

If you get three or more pilgrims per spin, you will be taken to the Gobblers Gourd Pumpkin Patch bonus round. Choose pumpkins from a patch in hopes of finding the escaped turkeys hiding behind the gourds! If you catch some of the pesky fowl, you’ll win a reward for your hard work.
