Slot Review: Liquid Gold

Looking for some liquid gold? How about some liquid disappointment? We were initially as excited as ever when we heard news that Microgaming was releasing four new online slot games, and looked forward to reviewing them. Liquid Gold, one of the four, was not at all what we had expected. No slot designer is exempt from the occasional lapse in creativity and/or execution, but this title is a real dud. Liquid Gold is bland and generic, two criticisms that are nearly inexcusable, even with the fat jackpot that also comes along with this title in its higher levels. We weren’t really willing to spend the time and money to play through this game for that long!

Liquid Gold is a five-reel, twenty-payline slot. On the reels you will see gold bars, melting gold, and letter/number icons that look like they are made of – you guessed it – liquid gold. The background is also a golden shade. All this gets more than a bit repetitive and tiresome after a while.

This online slot game contains scatters, but the payout is nothing to write home about. If you end up with two, you will win a scatter prize of twice your bet amount. The much-rarer incidence of landing four or five scatters will net you five times and then fifty times your bet amount. The free spins bonus is good for just ten free spins, which also seems miserly. The pay tables just did not offer much in the way of enticement to keep playing such a dull game. We don’t think we’ll be mining for this Liquid Gold!
