Simply Gold 2 Slots
Kajot Gaming introduces a game that will make you see gold everywhere you go, with an abundance of shiny artefacts on the reels.
Simply Gold 2 has everything in its name: simplicity and shining golden items ready for the taking. This video slot game does not let itself burden by unnecessary thrills and complicated backstories. We are here to stick to the very basics and make you players get a fair chance at winning big.
And without further ado, let’s take a closer look at what makes Simply Gold 2 so special and intriguing…
Facing the machine
As it is often the case with classic slot machines, players will feel like they are sitting in front of an actual arcade game while playing Simply Gold 2.
With its simple light blue background and dark reels filled with classic fruit symbols, the game is bound to evoke some nostalgia in veteran players. Newcomers might be initially put off by the oversimplified game universe, or lack thereof, on the other hand.
The sound effects keep up with the trend and seem to be coming from an old arcade slot machine as well. In short, Simply Gold 2 is one more vintage slot game with a retro-arcade theme much like Kajot's Multi Diamonds slot. Let’s take a look at the gameplay to see whether or not there is something new going on in that department.
How to play
Simply Gold 2 sticks to Kajot Gaming’s standard gameplay, which means that if you have played one or more of their creations, then you are probably well-aware of all the gameplay features offered by the game. Let’s take another look at them for first-timers.
The game is set on five reels with three symbols on each at the end of every spin. Five paylines are drawn across the reels, and combinations appearing on them correspond to various cash rewards depending on the nature of the symbols and the size of your initial bet, of course. To modify your settings, simply use the command buttons located at the bottom of the game screen. The (+) and (-) buttons are there to let you modify your bet size at will. The paylines are fixed so you cannot modify their number.
Hit the start button once you are ready, or try out the Autostart feature to set the game on autopilot for as long as you like. After each successful spin in normal mode, a mini game will begin. You have to guess the colour of a hidden card to double your reward. Repeat the procedure as many times as you dare, but remember that your first mistake will take you back to the base game, without your winnings. A simple yet risky way to boost your earnings in a very short time.
Classic paytable
Simply Gold 2 really sticks to the classic elements by introducing a very basic array of reel symbols. Arcade gaming aficionados will appreciate.
The first symbols are the Lemon, Cherries, Plum and Orange. Their payouts are low but their high frequency of appearance on the reels somehow compensate for that fact.
For bigger wins, stay on the lookout for the Watermelon, Grapes and Red Seven. Classic symbols all around, but with much higher stakes.
A little extra on top
To make the fun last longer, the developers at Kajot Gaming added some fun extra features to Simply Gold 2 – enough to make the game a little more rewarding.
If you manage to fill the entire reels with the same symbol, that is to say landing 15 identical symbols at once, the rewards triggered by this giant multiple combination will be doubled.
The Blue Star that you have probably noticed from the beginning is the Scatter symbol of the game. It triggers some of the highest rewards of Simply Gold 2, and it does so regardless of alignment. In other words, landing three or more Blue Stars anywhere on the screen can pay really fast.
Everything’s in the name
Simply Gold 2 ends up being exactly what players would expect it to be: a simple no download game that focuses on big wins and not much else. On one hand, this is the essence of slot games and therefore you cannot really blame Kajot Gaming for creating a game that does what it is supposed to, in a very straightforward way.
But on the other hand, Simply Gold 2 could have been so much more given the possibilities offered by modern computers. The low-key graphics and overall simplicity are both its strengths and weaknesses, depending on who you ask – and ultimately, the choice is all yours to make, it may not rank as one of the best slots out there but it still could be a game you enjoy.
