Jason and the Golden Fleece Slot Review

What would slot game designers do without ancient legends such as ‘Jason and the Golden Fleece’? It beats having to sit down and work out something new and there are some good wins available here.

All designers really need to do is look through the Ancient Greek legends and working your way through them. It’s a great idea because there are some cracking stories out there and they make for some excellent slot games and this is one of them.

The game has an attractive look to it with the backdrop being the deep blue sea as Jason and his crew continue their search for the Golden Fleece. The game itself is one of the five-reel variety with three rows of symbols and 25 pay-lines to try and get some good wins on and hopefully you will. Playing the game doesn’t cost you too much. That’s a fixed amount so the minimum cost of playing this game is €0.25 and the maximum cost of playing this slot game is €250. Just play at a level you feel totally comfortable with.

Around the World

The symbols are all related to the theme of the game which is always good to see.  We see Jason (five of whom pays 20,000x your line bet), the beautiful Medea (15,000x for five on a line), the huge Chiron, another symbol with three Argonauts and his ship the Argo. Then we see the destinations he goes to trying to find that elusive Golden Fleece.

The wild symbol in this game is the Jason and the Golden Fleece logo. It can substitute for other symbols to get you some winning combinations. It’s a bit busy in this game as it’s on a double shift also operating as a scatter symbol.  Five of the Jason symbols will earn you 10,000x your line bet. There’s another scatter too and that’s the Fleece.

The game has an autoplay feature and this can be set in a number of ways. Either go for a total of between 10 and 100 or set a more complex one of your own. There’s a fair amount going on in this slot so make sure you have some free plays and a look at the paytable. That way you’ll find out lots more about it.

Free Spins at Sea

If you can get at least three of the Jason and Golden Fleece logo symbol anywhere on the reels, this awards you ten free spins. You’ll be keen to get into this bonus round as any wins you get are tripled and it’s possible to re-trigger them too. Another advantage is that while in this bonus round you can trigger Jason’ Journey Bonus.

Take A Journey

Time to tell you about the main bonus game in this slot. It’s a bit like ‘Thunderstruck II’ where you get different bonuses depending on how many times you trigger the bonus game. You need at least three of the Golden Fleece symbols to get into this. The first time you trigger it you play

The Iolcus Shield Bonus sees you having to choose six shields from the twelve on show in order to reveal cash prizes. The Mysia Harpy Bonus gives you the task of matching four of the same elements to reveal a multiplier. Then there’s the Symplegades Shipwreck Bonus which is another pick ‘em game. You choose an item and reveal a prize but do you keep it? You can return it and try to get a larger one but only twice.

You can guess what’s in store with the Crete Wheel Bonus. It’s Spin the Wheel of Talos time to get some cash prizes. Then there’s the Strenum Card Bonus which is a higher or lower card game. There’s an extra bonus waiting for you if you successfully reach the fourth card. Finally, you can play the Colchis Potion Bonus. There’s a great big dragon and your task is to mix a powerful potion to put it to sleep. The longer he snoozes, the more you’ll win.

Final Words

Another great slot from Microgaming. Jason has a busy time with that ship of his and searching for the Golden Fleece and you’ll have few quiet moments playing this slot. The bonus games are varied and lucrative, the game looks and sounds great and this is well worth playing.
