If you sat through countless TV episodes of Black Beauty as a child, the Golden Mane slot by NextGen Gaming will take you back to the days when you wished you had your own horse to ride through endless fields as the wind blows through your hair. Three handsome steeds star in this exciting mobile slot, although only the one with the golden mane has the power to perform wild substitutions, as well as replace other high-value symbols for the duration of the Free Spins Bonus. The slot games makers, NextGen Gaming, have included an impressive countryside backdrop of fields and mountains under wonderfully sunny autumn skies, and if you look to the top-right to the reels, the rays of the rising sun are so intense that they almost make you want to reach for your sunglasses.
On the reels, there are three beautiful horses – one golden, one white, and one black - the last two of whom are shown leaping through the air. There’s also a horseshoe (N.B., a sign of good luck in many Western countries), a mountain range, a tree in autumnal colours, and six playing card symbols (9, 10, J, Q, K, and A). If you’re playing the Golden Mane slot on your mobile phone or tablet, you’ll find the Spin and Auto-Play button combined on the right-hand side of the screen.
The Settings menu can be accessed via the cog icon at the top-right, and within the menu, there are options to change your stake size, mute the music and sound effects, and view the paytable and game rules. The Golden Mane slot has an uplifting instrumental soundtrack with soaring violins, bells, and gentle brass music that instantly makes you want to reach for the saddle and hoist yourself onto a horse before galloping off into the sunset.
The golden horse with the Golden Mane represents the wild symbol and is the most valuable symbol in the entire game, but as well as helping you hook big prizes on its own, it can also replace any other symbol except the scatter to help you make winning combinations. The scatter is the Horse Shoe marked “Bonus,” and it only ever appears on Reels 2, 3, and 4.
Rather handily, the game includes a randomly activated Scatter Run Feature which adds scatters to these three reels to improve your chances of triggering the Free Spins Bonus. You only need two Horseshoes to enter the Free Spins Bonus which gives you two free games, but if you land three Horseshoes anywhere in view, you get six free games. Ideally, you’ll want as many free spins as possible due to the clever way in which the feature works.
On your first spin, second, third, and fourth spin, the Golden Horse wild replaces the White Horse, the Black Horse, the Mountain, and the Tree symbol respectively for the duration of the feature. The Golden Mane slot game is an artistic masterpiece from NextGen Gaming that lifts your spirits (and potentially your account balance) with its impressive graphics and special features. Try it on your mobile now, and you could be racing off to the bank with a win as big as £150,000! If you enjoy horse themed slots, you may enjoy spinning of the mythical Divine Fortune slot.
