About Golden Ticket
Golden Ticket is a 5-reel video slot game from Play’n GO, set on a 5×5 grid. Players can place bets ranging from £0.20 to £5.00. The aim is to create cluster wins by matching adjacent symbols either horizontally or vertically, according to the paytable and in-game rules.
How Cluster Wins Work
Cluster wins are formed when three or more matching symbols connect in a horizontal or vertical line without gaps. Wins can start from any position on the grid, and each symbol can participate in more than one winning combination during a single round. If multiple clusters are won in the same round, their values are combined at the end of the round. Only the highest win per winning symbol combination is paid out.
Features and Bonus Mechanics
- Wild Symbol: The golden ticket acts as a wild, substituting for any other symbol to help complete winning combinations. If a row of three matching symbols is cleared, the wild appears in the middle position where the win occurred.
- Cascade Mechanism: After a winning combination is collected, those symbols are removed from the grid. Remaining symbols then fall to potentially form new wins, and each new drop increases the win multiplier.
- Full Clear Bonus: Clearing every single symbol from the grid during a round awards a special full clear win.
- Bonus Game: The bonus game is triggered when a full column containing the word “BONUS” is cleared of symbols. The bonus consists of free rounds, and the number of cleared “BONUS” columns determines the win multiplier for the bonus feature.
- Bonus Game Winning: In the bonus game, a separate set of symbols is used and the wild symbol does not appear. Achieving a cluster of five or more identical symbols anywhere on the grid results in a win, multiplied by the bonus multiplier. Collecting five or more bonus star symbols during the bonus game awards additional bonus rounds, up to 20 consecutive bonus rounds. Each bonus star in a winning cluster grants one extra bonus round.
Step-by-Step: How to Play
- Select your desired bet using the plus and minus buttons or by clicking one of the five available bet buttons. Bets can range between £0.20 and £5.00.
- Press START to begin a game round. The symbols will drop onto the 5×5 grid.
- Watch as matching symbols line up horizontally or vertically to create cluster wins based on the current paytable.
- If a winning combination occurs, those symbols are removed and remaining symbols cascade down, allowing new clusters and multipliers to be formed within the same round.
- If all symbols are cleared, a special win is triggered. If a “BONUS” column is cleared, the bonus game will start.
- Bonus rounds and additional features are played with the same bet that activated the feature.
