Diggin’ for Black Gold

I think Mr. Green Casino has cast some sort of spell over me. I can’t stay away and there’s always something new to play. I frequently get offers for free spins by email anytime there is a new game. Free spin offers a clever online casino trick to draw us in. I heard that Black Gold had hit the market. It’s the latest from BetSoft and it’s hilarious.

First off, the music is really funny and adds so much to the experience of playing Black Gold. The graphics are great and the creators clearly have an amazing sense of humor. A cowboy sits atop his horse as you spin away. When you have a mighty fine spin he’ll tell you so. I just love the concept and design.

Now, the problem is that it doesn’t pay very well. I’ve read quite a bit on the casino forums about this site and we’ve debated. I’ll share some of the comments with you.

“Sadly pays are quite average, and what I don’t like as much is that as full of features as slot is, every feature requires you to have 3 of appropriate symbols. They pay nothing but raise the variance from medium to very high, thus greatly lowering your hit chance. I can definitely sense the lack of wild.”

“Well it seems you can’t have it all. If it is full of features, than you have ton of symbols thus exponentially higher variance, or you have medium variance but a dull slot. It seems that NetEnt is closer to ideal than anyone else lately.”

“Pays are small, but it wouldn’t be such a big deal if there was a wild (than hit chance would be much higher). I’m sure that 100% of gamblers will always put their money on something that pays good, rather than something graphically teasing but low on pays. I hope people at Betsoft will realize that in the end.”

“So, to sum it up, this slot is mostly like a cost-effective sort of entertainment? I mean, it’s fun, and it won’t cost you much, but don’t expect to win big?”

That last comment certainly sums it up for me. Black Gold is fun to play and you’re bankroll is steady for the most part but I can’t see any big wins in our future. Check out Black Gold and let me know what you think. Would you agree that the payout is fairly low on many of the BetSoft slot games?
