The symbols depict the fun characters that live on the farm. Golden Rooster is a 5-reel, 243-pay line 'all ways pay' slot from NextGen Gaming.

Golden Rooster is a 5-reel, 243-pay line 'all ways pay' slot from NextGen Gaming. There seems to be a little bit of confusion about the actual name of this slot, as in the game the title consists of the word 'Golden' and a picture of a rooster. Lots of people seem to be calling it just 'Golden', but we're plumping for 'Golden Rooster' as that seems to make more sense to us. We are the eggs-perts when it comes to online slots, after all.
This is of course a rather timely release – if you know your Chinese Zodiac, that is. From January 28th 2017 until February 15th 2018 it's the Chinese 'Year of the Rooster'. Apparently this is the year of the 'Fire Rooster', the last such year being 1957 (such years only come around every sixty years). People born in the year of the Fire Rooster as said to been trustworthy, responsible and seldom tardy.
We've no idea if such people like to play online slots game, but if they choose to play this one they will find plenty of farmyard-based symbols, plus playing card symbols ten through to ace. This is an 'all ways pay' slot which means all possible 243 pay lines are in play with each spin. You pay twenty-five coins for the privilege of a spin, and you can select your coin size as being anything from 0.01 to 5.00. When you're ready to cock your doodle-do, hit the spin button.
Payout & bonus rounds
The lowest winning pay-out in this game is ten coins, which is achieved by landing three nines or tens on any possible pay line from the left-hand reel onwards. The jackpot prize of two thousand coins will come winging your way if you land five 'rooster silhouette' symbols.
The Golden Rooster is a wild symbol during normal play but then becomes a scatter symbol during free spins. This symbol only appears on reels two, three and four and substitutes for all other symbols.
A normal-looking rooster is another wild symbol. Again it only appears on reels two, three and four, but it does substitute for all symbols including the scatter symbol.
A golden coin is the scatter symbol in this game. It only (not changing the record here) appears on reels two, three and four and landing one on each of these reels will win you fifty coins.
If you land three scatters or wilds anywhere then you win ten free games. Any 'five of a kind' pay outs during free spins are multiplied by five. You can re-trigger free games during your free games feature.
That's about it for Golden Rooster, or Golden, or whatever you want to call it. While not the best in graphics this game has certainly got one thing going for it – a theoretical return to player of 97.222 percent! That's one of the highest RTPs we've ever seen, so you're going to receive a lots of wins (although not necessarily a lot of big wins) when playing this eggs-iting NextGen Gaming slot. If you're not that bothered about playing sophisticated slots, then Golden Rooster could be eggs-actly what you need!

Golden
The wombat says: Take a trip to the chicken coop Wombat Fans and try and hatch a big win! Yes, the Golden slot transports you to a farm where you’ll meet a plucky rooster and his offspring as you spin to win. Slot Wizards NextGen Gaming launched this game along with the Snowflakes slot in March 2017 to celebrate the Year of the Rooster, and the game comes complete with a rather nice and fairly unusual bit of game play. The Wild symbol in Golden Rooster can substitute for ALL symbols in this slot, including the Scatter! This wombat has never seen such a thing! So let’s take a look at what this Rooster is made of, shall we?
Game Play
The Golden slot is your standard 5 reel, 3 row, 243 ways to win game. Which means that you won’t need to worry about pay-lines like some of their earlier games (such as the Flash Velocity slot with its fifty, yes fifty pay-lines!) Simply line up matching symbols anywhere on the reels from left to right and you’ll win. It’s a big step up from older NextGen games like the Owl Eyes slot, we have to admit.
Set on a background of some rather fecund farmland, the reels spin on a red hen house with a bright blue background that really helps the symbols to pop out at you. The visuals have an fun animated feel and you get to play along to a jaunty whistle-heavy soundtrack.
Your symbols include the lower value 9, 10, J, Q, K & A playing cards, then there’s the eggs, the cute little chick, the lady chicken, plus the chicken coup. Landing 2x of these on adjacent reels will get you a payout of 10 coins, but land 3x, 4x or 5x of the coops and you’ll win 50, 100 or 1,000 coins respectively.
The proud-looking Rooster is the game’s Wild symbol and will appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. Unusually, it substitutes for ALL and we mean ALL other symbols including the Scatter – whoooppp! Which means more free spins for you.
Scatter and Spins
Golden Rooster Slot Wins
Just like the Rooster Wild, the Scatter symbol – a lucky Chinese trinket with a chicken’s feather- will only land on reels 3, 4 & 5. Get 3 of these beauties (or even just a combo of Wilds and Scatters) and it’s time for the Rooster Free Games Bonus. You’ll also scoop a cheeky cash win of 50 coins.
After you’ve triggered the bonus you’ll be given 10 free spins – but here’s the twist; during your spins, a new and rather special Golden Rooster is added to the reels. Keep your eyes peeled for this symbol because it acts as both a Wild and Scatter, and if you land 3x of them on the same go anywhere on the reels you’ll get another 10 Free Spins! You can retrigger as many times as you like…
Plus, you’ll really lay a golden egg in this round by landing 5 of a kind of any of the game’s symbols. Manage that you lucky roosters, and you’ll get a 5x multiplier on your bet as well as an already hefty payout.
Conclusion
The Golden slot is a basic slot to play, but with its unique way to launch the Free Spins Bonus (using both the Scatter and Wild symbols) and the nice animations, it’s worth a go. Good luck!
