Developer
NetEnt is one of those software developers that need no introduction. The company has been operational since 1996 and is nowadays one of the leaders of the online gaming industry.
It boasts numerous industry awards and a diverse portfolio consisting of slots, table games, video pokers, scratch cards and live dealer games. NetEnt is also one of the strongest innovators which continuously wows us with original themes and unique features.
How to Play it
Gold Money Frog slot pays over 25 fixed bet lines, offering 1-4 bet levels and coin value ranging from €0.01 to €0.5. Players can consequently wager between €0.25 and €50 per spin. May Bet plays at the highest bet level and the chosen coin value. Identical symbols will pay if they land in succession from the leftmost reel.
The assortment of game icons includes beautifully designed and appropriately themed ones such as the gold money frog and kites but unfortunately also generic playing card icons. To enhance the Asian feel of the game, the surrounding area was populated with lotus flowers and images of Asian architecture.
Reels can spin automatically up to 1,000 times. Autoplay advanced settings allow players to stop Autoplay on any win, a single win which exceeds the specified amount, if Free Spins or Bonus game is won, if Jackpot is won, or when cash increases/decreases by the chosen amount.
Special Features
Paying combos may be created with the help of Wild symbols which substitute for all others except for Scatter and Bonus. Scattered Lanterns pay regardless of their positions but also trigger free games. The player wins 10 Free Spins for 3 Scatters, 20 spins for 4 Scatters and 30 spins for 5 triggering symbols. All wins, with the exception of jackpots, are tripled.
The game also features Bonus symbols tasked with launching the bonus game. You’ll need to land at least 3 in adjacent positions from left to right in order to access the Bonus Wheel with 12 sections. The Wheel starts spinning automatically and continues to do so until stopped by the player or the 10 seconds countdown. If it stops on a coin value, you’ll win the respective amount. If it lands on a Jackpot, you’ll collect the big prize. The chance to celebrate a Jackpot corresponds to the Jackpot size as well as the bet size.
Super, Major and Minor Jackpots are progressive which means their value increases every time the game is played for real money. They have no upper limit. Once won, their value drops to €50 plus 10% contribution (Minor), €500 plus 10% (Major) and €5,000 plus 10% (Super).
Maximum Payouts
Gold Money Frog is a low volatility slot. The hit frequency 1 in 2 for any win and 1 in 38 during the Bonus game. RTP is surprisingly low – only 92.31% with 9.8% allocated to Jackpot prizes. Wild is the most generous icon able to pay up to 7,500x your bet line. More could potentially be won via progressive jackpots that have no upper value limit.
Summary
Gold Money Frog looks great and incorporates the right amount and kind of special features to make the game interesting. While opting for a popular and frequently used Asian theme, the developer has managed to make this title unique enough. However, despite a decent hit frequency, RTP is incredibly low and may discourage many NetEnt fans from giving it a try.
