Gods of Gold: InfiniReels Slot Review
Most three-reel slots are small on purpose: a handful of ways, a quick result, a game that knows its place. Gods of Gold: InfiniReels disagrees with all of that. It hands you a 3×3 grid in a torch-lit vault of gold coins and buried bones, then lets one win tear the walls off it, reel by reel, until the paytable doubles and keeps doubling.
NetEnt‘s take on the expanding-reels format starts at 27 ways and grows with every win, running at 96.21% RTP with a 7,300x ceiling, and it sits alongside Gonzos Quest and Divine Fortune in the studio’s treasure-hunting corner. Whether a reel set that won’t sit still is a thrill or a tease is the question this one has to answer.
Inside the Vault: The Base Game
Each round opens on a 3×3 grid with 27 bet ways. There are no paylines at all: matching symbols in any position on three or more adjacent reels, running left to right, make a win. Only the longest combination per symbol pays, and wins on different ways stack into the total.
The game plays with 20 coins per bet, and it can be played with cash or coins, switchable in the game settings. When playing with coins, the bet value is set by choosing a coin value; when playing with cash, you simply choose the bet. Bets run from 0.20 to 200, and the paytable values scale with whatever you’ve chosen, so the numbers on screen always reflect your own stake.
Symbols include a King, Queen, Bull and Falcon alongside gem icons, rendered in the same lush, painterly style as the vault around them. Wild symbols can only appear on reel four and onwards, which means they show up only once the grid has grown. They substitute for everything except scatters, so they’re a reward for a win chain already in progress rather than a way to start one.
Paytable values double at each step beyond a five-symbol hit:
- Five matching King symbols on adjacent reels from the left award 100 coins
- A second King symbol on the fifth reel doubles that to 200 coins (2 x 100)
- Any hit longer than five symbols pays two times the previous amount
- Six of a kind therefore pays double the five-of-a-kind value
- Seven of a kind doubles it again, and eight doubles it once more
- Every further symbol continues the doubling, with no stated end to the progression
- When playing with cash, the payout follows the same logic, with the outcome depending on the current coin value
So the paytable isn’t a flat table at all. It’s a ladder, and the further right your win runs, the steeper each step becomes. On a base grid of three reels the doubling never comes into play at all; it exists entirely for the rounds where the reel set has grown wide enough to land six, seven or eight of the same symbol in one chain.
Infinite Reels
This is the mechanic the game is named for, and it works exactly as the title promises. Every new win adds a reel to the right side of the play area. The way count multiplies by three each time, for as long as the wins keep coming.
- Start: 3×3 grid, 27 ways
- First win adds a reel: 81 ways
- Second win: 243 ways
- Third win: 729 ways
- Fourth win: 2,187 ways
- Fifth win and beyond: 6,561 ways, then 19,683, with no fixed limit
Once a spin produces no new win, the chain stops. The bet way wins are then panned across the screen, evaluated and paid out, and the play area collapses back to 3×3 for the next round. If the panning runs long, clicking the spin button or anywhere on the reels skips it.
A minimap sits alongside the reels, showing a compressed view of the whole expanded play area and the winning ways running through it. When a chain stretches past the visible area, the minimap pans to follow it. That’s how you keep track of a reel set that has quietly grown past anything you could fit on screen.
The hit frequency sits at 20%, which tells you something important: four spins in five land nothing. Re-Spins and Multi-Slam also feature, though the game’s rules list them by name only.
Win Spins
The bonus round is called Win Spins, and it triggers on three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, in the main game and in Win Spins itself. A maximum of one scatter can land per reel, so bigger grids mean bigger trigger potential.
- 3 scatters: 10 Win Spins
- 4 scatters: 15 Win Spins
- 5 scatters: 20 Win Spins
- Each additional scatter beyond that adds five more spins
Scatters land during Win Spins too, and three or more of them activate a fresh batch of 10 spins, with the same five-per-extra-scatter top-up. The round can therefore retrigger repeatedly, and because the reels can be wide when it does, the scatter count in a single trigger can climb well past the minimum.
The combination is what makes the ceiling credible. Win Spins keeps the Infinite Reels engine running, the way count keeps multiplying, and a long chain during the bonus is where the game’s 7,300x potential actually lives. Every extra scatter in the trigger buys five more spins on a grid that’s already grown, which is why the trigger count matters more here than in a fixed-reel game.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
Playing this is mostly waiting in a very pretty room. Four spins in five give you nothing, the vault sits there looking ornate, and then a win catches and the whole game changes shape in front of you. That single moment, watching the grid tear rightwards while the ways triple, is the one reason anybody picks this over a fixed-reel game, and it’s a very good reason.
The doubling paytable is the smartest thing here: it pays for length in a way most expanding games don’t, so a wide chain is worth exponentially more than a narrow one. The weakness is everything between chains. There’s no second mechanic, no collect-and-count, nothing to do but spin and hope the walls come off again.
It suits players who like one big idea done properly and don’t need constant noise around it. Anyone who wants regular small wins or something to tinker with between bonuses will find the quiet stretches long. But the vault does open, and when it does, the gold is real.
