The Wild is the “The Race” symbol which acts as a substitute for any other symbol, except the Scatter and The Bonus Racer. If you land 5 Wild symbols on any active payline, you will win 12 000 coins.
The Scatter is the Checkered Flag Girl which appears on the reels 1 and 5. If you land 2 Scatter symbols you will activate 10 Free Turbo Spins.
The Speedway Bonus Round is activated when 3 Bonus Racer symbols appear on the reels 2, 3 and 4. Once the Bonus Round is activated, choose an engine, tire, paintjob and fill your car up with gas to become the next champion racer.

Daytona Gold is a game I played only a few times. I never had much luck with race car slots so I can't say that I am a big fan of them. The game has a simple design and reminds me of some old Playstation race game. The graphic isn’t very good and the background music reminds me of car engines before some big car race. Off course Daytona is one of the biggest races in the States so I guess this game is very popular to US players.
This is a 15 payline 5 reel slot but it does offer a few bonus features which can produce some nice wins. There are 3 main symbols in the game, wild, scatter and bonus symbol. The wild is standard like in all slots and substitutes all other symbols except the scatter and bonus symbol. You can get a few of them on a winning payline which can produce a nice win. My biggest win during base play was around 230 euros when I had 3 wilds on a winning payline and a nice 5 of a kind win on my 1.50 euros bet. I think that was beginners luck to be honest and I haven't won anything even close to that since then. The scatters if they land on the first and last reel award free spins but there isn't a multiplier involved so the wins aren't very big. The second bonus which is called speedway bonus is triggered when you get 3 or more bonus racers an active payline. They appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and can be a little hard to get. This is a standard Top Game multi stage cash bonus. You have to pick your engine, tires, paint and fuel to build your race car and hope that you will win the race.
Overall this is a fun slot to play which can produce some nice wins.
