Gold Medal Mania Slot Review 2024

Gold Medal Mania

Gold Medal Mania, an 888 game that has 5 reels and 25 paylines, will give its players prizes of up to $15,000, plus some advantages which come in the form of multipliers, wilds and scatter symbols.

Winning is the most important thing to someone that practices sports professionally, and getting that gold medal is something that everyone aspires to do. In this slot, winning and getting a spot on the podium is what the focus is on. Those that compete for the gold medals are not humans though, they're part of the animal kingdom instead, with various species serving as the characters. Among the images used as symbols, the slot includes running shoes, dumbbells, a stopwatch, goggles, the podium, the gold medal, silver medal and the participants (five of them, including the elephant, dog, hippopotamus, chicken and turtle). The stadium is the image from the background, with the track nearby set up for a race with obstacles.

Selecting the number of paylines determines how many coins will be used for the bet, and the most you can wager is $250, which is comprised of 25 coins at $10 each. Using a bet of that size can result in big prizes, the top jackpot being 1500 coins, worth up to $15,000. You can get the game's big prize with the help of five turtle symbols, all on the same payline, which has to be active.

The game's gold medal is used as the higher value wild (there are two of them). On it you can see the words “x3 Wild", which gives you an idea of what makes this symbol special. It comes with 3x multipliers when it manages to help form a new combination. Unfortunately, it is reserved for the 3rd reel only.

The other wild is the usual kind, which doesn't have any multipliers. It's still useful though, and it's not limited to a certain reel.

Scatter symbols tend to offer decent to great prizes, sometimes even bigger than the top jackpot. This is the case here as well, with the biggest possible prize being 500 times the total bet, given for five scatters. Four scatters will pay 50 times the bet, three scatters will pay 5 times and two scatters will pay back exactly how much you wagered.

Finally, we get a bonus game as well, called Wild Athletes, triggered with three symbols that have to appear on the three reels from the middle. During this game you choose one of the five characters, and you try to win the race.

The game is interesting enough, with a cute theme and design style. The top jackpot could be higher, but the game makes up for it with multiple interesting features.
