X Marks The Spot Inside Golden Casino

Normally on a Friday evening, I am caught up inside one of Golden Casinos online free tournaments. Tonight instead, without a treasure map, I chose to find and make my own treasure. A 5 reel video bonus slot, X Marks The Spot, was not hidden very well inside the Golden Casino.

While enjoying my own version of Pirate Of the Caribbean, there was so much action the only thing it was missing was Johnny Depp. Treasure chests, palm trees, and bottles of rum are just a few of the symbols spinning in the reels. A little Yo! Ho!, Yo! Ho!, Pirates Life for me, would have been a nice touch playing in the background. The wagers are modest. The minimum only $0.01 and the maximum $200.00. If a player chooses to play max bet, their winning potential is much more.

Players should strive to receive only three symbols, the wild Pirate, the scatter and the bonus symbol. The wild Pirate symbol substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and the bonus symbols. The scatter symbol will trigger 15 free spins, when a player receives 3 or more scatters during a spin. The free spins are tripled and can be re-triggered.

The bonus symbol is a treasure map. When the treasure map appears on reels 1, 3, and 5 a bonus round will trigger. Also, this round can be triggered in the free spin bonus. Players go digging for their own treasure. Be careful not to be too greedy, because there is an option to trade your winning for what is in the treasure chest.

This slot was a constant hit. Every time I would get down a little the bonus rounds would come and save me. I eventually found my own treasure and ended up about $52.00 for the night. Sometimes you take what you can get!
