• Five symbols get you 2,000 times your bet
• Four symbols – 500 times
• Three – 100 times
• Two – 25 times

Other symbols multipliers change similarly. Below you can find the values corresponding to the number of symbols on the payline, starting with the maximum value for five symbols and ending with the minimum for two.

• Blue golf balls award 1,000, 200, 50 and 5
• Pink balls – 500, 100, 25 and 5
• Golf cart – 250, 100, 25 and 3
• Bag for golf clubs – 200, 80, 20 and 2
• Red flag – 150, 80, 20 and 2
• Glass of beer – 100, 25, 5 and 2
• Shoes – 50, 10, 5 and 2

Special symbols

The Golden Tour slot machine also features special symbols that do not have multipliers but perform other functions.

The first type is Scatter symbols that activate free spins. The second type is a symbol with two Golden Balls. In addition to having a large factor, it can also play the role of other symbols to complete a successful combination. Also, the combinations with the Wild symbol are counted both from the left to the right and from the right to the left. This increases your odds of winning.

How to Play the Golden Tour Slot

Your purpose in playing the Golden Tour online slot by Playtech is to win as much as possible, making bets and spinning the reels. The symbols on the reels land and line up in a combination on the payline. If you get several identical pictures, your bet is multiplied by the corresponding factor and is later added to your balance.

Bet settings

All control buttons are at the bottom of the screen. First, configure two options:

• The bet size for 1 payline
• The number of active paylines

You can select the bet size by clicking the button in the bottom left corner of the screen. This is a small field with a number and there are “+” and “-” arrows on both sides. Click them to change the bet size from 0.01 to 5 gaming units. The second value, the number of active lines, is set by one of the two buttons:

• The Bet One button activates lines one-by-one. Click on it to switch on from 1 to 5 sequences. For example, you need to click three times to opt for three lines
• The Bet Max button immediately activates all five lines and starts the spin of the reels

So, if you activate 1 line and make a bet of 0.01 unit on it, your minimum bet will be equal to a 0.01 gaming unit. The maximum bet is 25 units. To select it, you have to activate all five lines and set the bet at 5 units per line.

In addition, if you play with real bets, you can activate an additional Dollar Ball stake. Then you will have a better chance of hitting the jackpot. The Enable button is in the top right corner of the screen.

Starting the reels

To start the reels in the Golden Tour slot themed to sports, click the Spin button. You can also use an Autoplay option where you do not need to click the button every time. To do this, find the button with the image of a Wrench in the top right corner of the online slot. Click it to see the word Autoplay at the end of the list. If you click it, a blue window appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. It will include a field displaying the number of spins. Adjust it using the “+” and “-” arrows. 

Then click the blue Play button in the shape of an arrow. When the Autoplay mode is over, a window with a warning appears in the middle of the screen: Autoplay stopped. Do you want to repeat Autoplay? Click OK if you want to go on, or Close if you want to cancel the Autoplay mode. Then click the button with a red X in the blue box in the lower right corner to completely exit this mode.

The Golden Tour online slot machine has no bonus games, but it can offer free spins and fairly large winnings. It has a simple interface with the minimum necessary settings, which will appeal to beginners.

• Clicking the AUTOPLAY button starts the Autoplay session. You can end the Autoplay session by clicking the STOP button showing the number of remaining spins.
• The number of auto spins left is displayed above the smaller STOP button, unless you’ve chosen the UNTIL FEATURE option.
• To enter the triggered feature, click the CLICK TO START button. After the end of the feature, click CONTINUE on the winnings summary screen to return to the main game or resume the Autoplay mode (if there are any auto spins left to play).
• The paytable can be accessed via the INFO button or via the Menu.

ABOUT PAYOUTS

• Wins are calculated according to the Paytable which can be accessed via the Menu. Line win = line bet × corresponding multiplier according to the paytable.
• In this game, paylines pay both left to right and right to left. Winning combinations must start from the leftmost or the rightmost reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up. In case one payline contains two winning combinations (one starting from the leftmost and the other from the rightmost reel), you are paid for both combinations. 5 of a kind wins are paid once per line.
• The SCATTER symbols and the WILD symbol are exceptions to these rules. More information about these symbols can be found below.
• In the case of a winning spin, the Win popup displays the accumulating winnings and each payline win.

WILD SYMBOL

The WILD symbol is the two balls symbol. It can stand in for both the orange and the white ball, whichever makes for a better winning combination. For example, if you get a combination of orange ball – orange ball – two balls – white ball – white ball, the two balls symbol acts in both combinations and you get two payouts: one for three orange balls, and one for three white balls.

SCATTER SYMBOLS

The gopher, duck and catfish symbols are the SCATTER symbols – when you get 3 or more of these symbols (of the same kind) on the screen during one round, lying consecutively, you enter the bonus round. The symbols do not have to follow any payline, meaning they can be in any position on the reels.

GOLDEN TOUR BONUS

In the bonus game, you choose a driver, an iron and then a putter. You will win a prize based on these three clubs you choose. If you entered the bonus game with 4 SCATTER symbols and not just 3, your prize is tripled. If you entered with 5 SCATTER symbols, your prize is multiplied by 10. At the end of the Bonus game, a win screen displays your winnings.
