Pragmatic Play Adds Golden Beauty, an Oriental-Themed Slot, to Its Lineup
Released on 27th February, Pragmatic Play’s Golden Beauty is an oriental-themed 3D video slot for mobile and desktop. It features a 5x4 reel layout with 75 pay lines and up to 45 free spins, along with a feature that may help offset losses from the high-variance base game.
The original article identifies two features it believes could make Golden Beauty a popular Pragmatic Play title, and links them to its stated 96.44% expected RTP.
Golden Beauty has a progressive feature that may recover losses accumulated in the base game. In its free-spins bonus round, players can choose the volatility by balancing the number of free spins against the number of wild symbols on the reels.
The progressive feature spans 10 regular-game spins and may appeal to players who enjoy high-variance slots. When a single or stacked ‘golden lotus’ lands, gold rings mark its reel positions. A counter tracks each spin until it reaches 10.
After the tenth spin, symbols marked by the ‘golden lotus’ become wild. The feature can create up to three wild reels, or wild symbols across multiple positions, allowing several symbol combinations to pay on one spin.
Pragmatic Play also lets players choose the free-spins bonus format. They can take more spins with fewer wilds or fewer spins with more wild symbols.
With 5 scatter symbols, players can choose 45, 30 or 15 free spins; 4 scatters provide 30, 20 or 10; and 3 scatters unlock 15, 10 or 5. At each scatter level, players choose 5, 7 or 10 wild symbols, respectively, keeping the number of available wilds consistent across the three trigger levels.
The slot’s setting evokes an imagined Asian town, with Chinese lanterns, traditional Asian-style rooftops and a palette of oriental colours. These elements establish the game’s themed backdrop.
Golden Beauty was the fifth mobile and desktop slot Pragmatic Play released that February, following Mysterious, Master Joker, Super 7s and El Dorado The City of Gold. The studio had also announced Aztec Bonanza, The Wild Machine and Dance Party for March 2020, giving fans three more releases to look forward to that month.
