Graphics & Sound
The quality of the graphics and sound that Microgaming provides is absolutely incredible and top notch. They have a reputation of making the most stunning graphics and true-to-life sound effects that will truly transport you to “that specific theme” they used in any of their slot games. Most people love to play games incorporated with Microgaming software because they have smooth animation and engaging yet non-interfering sounds. In Golden Goose - Totem Treasure, players are taken to the land of the Native Americans, where they shall learn the ways of the people and nature. The Squaw symbol is rather a special one, as it can double your wins whenever it is involved in a winning combination. Oddly enough, you are given a task by the Squaw wherein you must go to the land of the giants, where a generous golden goose is determined to give riches to anyone who rescues her. The symbols are drawn in a cartoon-like fashion, and even if they are vibrantly colored, you will play here for a long time because it will not hurt or strain your eyes. Simple animated programming is used on the symbols when you successfully hit winning combinations. The overall graphic design of Golden Goose - Totem Treasure shows the surrounding of the reels to be colored purple, with the Golden Goose heads on top of the reels, to signify that this slot game is also home to the generous Golden Goose. The background of the symbols either resembles wood, or rawhide which is a common item for Native Americans.
The constant background sound effects you will hear in this game resemble other slot machine games that you will find in land-based casinos. Whenever you spin the reels and get winning combinations, a simple tinkling sound accompanied with distinct drumming will be heard. Music that you normally hear on TV game shows will be played when you are on the Golden Goose Bonus Feature games, complete with an audience clapping when you get your bonus prizes!
Game Symbols
The card deck symbols available in the Golden Goose - Totem Treasure online video slot game are 10, J, Q, K, and Ace. The regular symbols that you will find in Golden Goose - Totem Treasure are the Peace Pipe, Dreamcatcher, Camp Fire, Teepee, and the Bald Eagle.
The Wild Symbol is the Squaw (or Native American Indian woman). It is a wild multiplier symbol. Thus, the Squaw wild symbol not only acts as a substitute for all other symbols (except for the Scatter symbol) in order to you help you form winning combinations, but it also can multiply the payout! The Squaw wild symbol doubles (multiplier x2) the payout of any winning combination it completes, as long as it acts as a substitute symbol. You are paid varying prize amounts (refer to the Payout table) when you manage to form a winning combination with multiple Squaw wild symbols on an enabled pay line. Take note that the Squaw wild symbol winning combination payouts are not doubled.
The Scatter Symbol is the Drum. The scatter symbol is not required to appear in a line (on an enabled pay line) for you to win. The Drum scatter symbol can be found scattered anywhere on the 5 reels, and you are able to form winning combinations as long as there are 3 or more Drum scatter symbols that appear. Your winnings are calculated by multiplying the Drum scatter symbol combination payout (refer to the Payout table) by the total number of coins you’ve bet.
Please take note that if you get a scatter win and a regular win, then you are paid out for both of these wins, because the Drum scatter symbol is not required to come out on an enabled pay line for you to win. Scatter awards are independent from pay line awards, and thus they are added to the pay line win.
