Reel Kingdom Goes Canine With New Golden Retriever Slot
Reel Kingdom, the studio behind a string of animal-themed slots released in partnership with Pragmatic Play, has turned its attention to dogs with its latest release, Golden Retriever. According to a detailed breakdown from Bigwinboard, the game shares clear mechanical DNA with the Big Bass series, though it also introduces a handful of new features that set it apart.
Familiar Framework, Fresh Coat of Fur
The slot is built on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines and sits firmly in high-volatility territory. The maximum RTP comes in at 96.52%, which is broadly in line with what players tend to expect from Reel Kingdom titles. Stakes run from $€0.05 to $€250 per spin, giving the game a wide range that suits both casual players and higher rollers. An ante bet option is available, doubling the stake in exchange for a greater chance of triggering the bonus round, and a feature buy is also on offer.
The pay table includes a mix of card rank symbols and thematic icons — a dog bowl (serving as the Money symbol), a rope toy, a football, a bag of Yum Yum treats, and a doggy bed. Five-of-a-kind combinations on picture symbols pay between 20x and 200x the bet.
Two Bonus Modes
Landing three or more scatter symbols triggers a wheel spin that awards either free spins or a Hold & Spin feature.
In the free spins mode, players receive 10, 15, or 20 spins depending on how many scatters triggered the round. Wild symbols collect the value of any Money symbols in view, with Money symbol values ranging from 2x to 500x the bet. Every fourth wild collected adds 10 extra spins and a multiplier — x2, x5, and x10 respectively across three possible retriggers. Each retrigger also brings a named modifier: Win Fetch changes all symbols on a random payline to matching pay symbols; Can’t Lick It converts random symbols into instances of a random pay symbol; and Can You Dig It turns random symbols into up to three Money values worth between 1x and 100x.
The Hold & Spin round works on a respin basis. Only blanks and sticky Coin symbols — worth 0.4x to 10x — can land. A reserved multiplier (x1, x3, or x10 depending on trigger) is applied if the grid fills entirely with Coins, after which the grid resets and the multiplier can climb as high as x25.
Worth a Look?
For fans of the Big Bass formula who fancy a change of scenery, Golden Retriever looks like a reasonable addition to the casino news agenda. If you’re new to Reel Kingdom’s style of play, our slots guides can help you get to grips with how these mechanics work before you spin.
