Mark Twain described golf as “a good walk spoiled”. Does this slot buck that description? Visually, it's a pretty simple affair. Set against a fairway backdrop, the reels include a selection of golfing related imagery including a golf ball, driver, golf buggy, gold winner's jacket and a green with flag. The latter two are the biggest payers - find 5 in a payline and a 750 coin payout awaits. Joining them are playing card symbols from A to 10, complete with golf flourishes.
The trophy is the wild, substituting for all other symbols apart from the scatter. Two wilds will get you 10 coins. Three earns 100 and four 1,000 coins. Find five wilds in a payline and the cashier will be boosted by 5,000 coins. Any winning combinations that include a wild will be boosted by 2x and doubled.
The winner's cheque is the scatter - find 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels and you'll trigger the Free Spins feature as well as winning a scatter bonus of between 5 and 200 times your total bet. Once triggered, you'll be awarded 15 free spins with all wins trebled. Find the cheques during the feature and you'll trigger more free games with up to 60 available in total.
The variance is in the medium range with the biggest winning opportunities coming via the free spins round, complete with the 3x multiplier. Combine that with a wild win and that multiplier can reach 6x and give your winnings a real boost.
Gold Trophy 2 isn't the flashiest offering we've come across from Play 'N Go. It's a solid overall performer though, more of a methodical Nick Faldo type rather than a volatile John Daly. Get lucky with the free spins though and this slot can still deliver some major results.
I have to be honest – sports-themed slot games are not my thing at all. They just don’t work in my opinion and are a poor excuse for a theme. Anyway, if you like free spins with big multipliers, the classic Cleopatra II gives you up to 50 free spins with a 50x multiplier (multiplier increases by 1 after every free spin). The other game I’d recommend is Piggy Riches by NetEnt which is a cult favourite and can give you up to a 6x multiplier in the feature – be careful though, it’s a very volatile slot.
