Alternatively, you can always use “Autoplay” to spin for a predetermined number of rounds with no interruptions.
You can reach superstardom in the Golden Era bonus round, that you can trigger by getting 3 scattered Clapperboards anywhere on the reels. Once activated, you’ll need to choose which star-studded bonus you think will lead you to an award-winning payout.
Your first choice is the free spins feature. If you choose this option, you’ll get 12 free spins where both of the movie stars will expand across two reels and act as wilds! Throughout the round, the stars will move back and forth, unlocking new wild combinations on every single spin.

In this round, you’ll get to pick from 10 movie posters, most of which hide various cash amounts. One particularly valuable symbol is the Trophy, which will double your winnings. The round will end only once you uncover the dreaded blank poster.

The era that we are living now has nothing to do with the Golden Era of this game. The only inspiration that I could think of is the movies, which is pretty much popular, and I believe Microgaming thought it would be a good business decision to attract players via something already famous, don't you agree? But each time you come across such a video slot, you must pay close attention to the game's pay table and its capabilities.
My thought is, why not invest your money while you enjoy spinning a game. It's worth anyway, because you better put your money into a slot that can make your day within seconds, no matter whether your total bets are small or bigger. This Golden Era looks like a true oldie game, with its theme going back to the past, making it look and feel like it was at least a century ago.
The Wild symbol, which is the logo 'Golden Era', pays 333x your total bet if you manage to collect 'five of a kind'. Sounds pretty nice to me, but never easy to get. The Wild symbol becomes an Expanding Wild Reel during the Free Spins game and you get nice chances to make more wins. The Scatters pays 100x the total bet. 3 or more of these scatters activate a Bonus feature game. You can choose the 'Double Feature Bonus Game' or the 'Free Spins with Embracing Wild game'.In the Embracing Wild free spins game, all wins are doubled when the two moving Expanding Wild Reels embraced on reel 3, making for some pretty decent payouts, but usually not big enough in my opinion.
For an oldie game, the pay table is pretty decent, but I would rather prefer something new to play if I really have to choose. The only time I played this game was with some free spins and I couldn't resist to try it out later in the real mode with my own money. But I don't think I like it that much to come back and play it again.
