The round will end only once you uncover the dreaded blank poster.

We are in an era in which the television that has replaced the cinema some 10-15 years ago was in turn replaced by the internet. Today, many of us forgot how is like to step into a true casino to be invited to have a glass of champagne on the house, or how it was when we lost hours in line for tickets to a true cinema. Even we no longer read the newspapers (because of course we do not have a chance to read all the news on the Internet every day) and the paparazzi of old newspapers are again long forgotten now that everyone has a webcam on his desk that is better than many cameras from 50 years ago and every person can post a personal video on YouTube. Yet the Golden Era from 50-80 years ago was not forgotten by Microgaming.
This slot "Golden Era" resend us back in time to taste from the long forgotten pleasures and also sip a bit from the beautifulness of the social events of the past. Although it has only 15 paylines apparently Microgaming did not forgot how to make a good slot (despite its recent failures). You choose a beautiful theme, you add a music that wear you on its waves, you renew one or both of the slot features (Free Spins and Bonus Game) with new elements and you give sufficient wins to make you keep playing waiting for that Mega Win to come.
Golden Era slot contains all these elements of success and besides the Free Spins with Embracing Wilds it has also a nice Bonus. The best part here are the payouts. For only 15 cents, all the major symbols (“3 of a kind”) pay very well, about 3x bet. The maximum payout for a combination is about 65x (which means 10 Euro for a bet of 15 cents) and wins of 1-3 Euros are enough. A second part that is very good is that while playing this slot the major symbols are more common than the minor ones (you have on the average more big wins).
Many of us have not forgotten yet what it is like playing a good MG slot, and this is really a pretty good game.
The negative part (it happened only to me and I would not like to generalize yet) is that it is very difficult to play the Free Spins and the Bonus Game. In the first 300 spins I had not entered in any of these features.
