Rainforest Gold Base Game
Rainforest Gold Gameplay & Design
Set in a picturesque Jungle, Rainforest Gold puts us at one with nature. Amidst the Jungle are many beautiful animals, some of which are best to be admired from a safe distance. The backdrop displays a glorious waterfall surrounded by scenery and the call of wildlife.
Rainforest Gold is a 5-reel Video Slot, playable from £.€-.10 per spin up to a maximum of £.€10 per spin. Betting options are limited here, however, there is still a decent selection for players to choose from.
Rainforest Gold – Slot Symbols and Their Values
Rainforest Gold has 5 High-paying animal symbols and 5 Low-paying symbols available during gameplay, with the highest-paying symbol producing wins of up to 50x your bet for a full 5-line win.
Low-paying symbols are standard A, K, Q, J, and 10. While a full line of 10s pays 5x your bet, Aces can deliver wins of up to 12.5x your bet for a full 5-line winning combination.
Rainforest Gold – Payline and How to Get Them
Winning combinations are created when 3-5 identical symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Win lines are created over 30 active pay lines, in a Horizontal and Diagonal line formation.
Rainforest Gold RTP & Volatility – Hot or Not?
Rainforest Gold has a theoretical RTP of 96.07% and a Volatility level set as High. This type of slot is perfectly suited to players in the market for a higher ‘return to player’, combined with more frequent wins over a longer time frame, although the risk is greater short term. In addition, Rainforest Gold also has a max win cap of 5,085x.
Rainforest Gold Special Features
In this section of the review, we will be looking into the special features available to us; Wilds, Coin symbols, Progress Bar, and the Wild Treasure Bonus. Firstly, Wilds appear on all reels in both the base game and free spins round, substituting for all High and Low-paying symbols.
Coin Symbols
Coins are non-paying symbols that randomly appear anywhere on the reel set during a game round. Coins have no value, yet they do contribute towards filling the Progress Bar.
Progress Bar
Above the main reel set is a special Progress Bar that holds a maximum of 20 notches. Each Coin symbol in view will fill the Progress Bar by +1 notch. Once filled, the Wild Treasure Bonus is triggered. After this, the Progress Bar will reset.
Wild Treasure Bonus
When the Wild Treasure Bonus is active, 5 Chests are revealed. Each Chest has a hidden Multiplier value inside it (5x, 10x, 15x, 30x, and 50x your bet). Pick one Chest to reveal your winning prize.

Rainforest Gold Bonus Rounds & Free Spins
Rainforest Gold has one Free Spins round available, triggered when 3 Scatters land on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game, awarding 15 Free Spins.
During this round, a Blazing Multiplier feature is active. The Blazing Multiplier feature will randomly select a value of x2, x3, or x5 during each spin. The blazing multiplier is applied to all wins created during that particular spin.

Pros and Cons of Rainforest Gold
Pros:
- Additional Wild Treasure Bonus.
- A generous number of Free Spins.
- Great use of Blazing Multipliers.
- RTP of 96.07%.
Cons:
- The Blazing Multiplier values are lower than hoped.
- The Wild Treasure Bonus can only be triggered by filling the Progress Bar, and not during regular gameplay.
- Blazing Multipliers are not available during the base game.
Conclusion
The rainforest theme is always a popular one, and notable golden oldies like Rainforest Magic by Play’n GO and NetEnts own Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild stand out as notable options if you’re looking for something thematically similar.
Rainforest Gold will be a popular choice for those craving something new, and the inclusion of features like the Wild Treasure Bonus does well to bolster its appeal until the Free Spins round arrives. Free Spins is capable, yet it doesn’t feel like it could pop off at any moment. It has a decent max win of 5,085x which is good enough for many, and overall we think it’s a nice offering, albeit not that revolutionary.
