Golden Ticket 2 Slot Play'n GO

Golden Ticket 2 is a game release from Play'n Go that went live about a year ago. I remember this game was quite hyped up due to the reason that it's a sequel slot to the Golden Ticket slot, which is still popular these days. And of course, having played the Golden Ticket slot, I was very curious to try it out and see what this game has to offer. 

Following the footsteps of the first Golden Ticket slot, Golden Ticket 2 takes you to the adventure park, where circus characters play an important role. However, I think that as always, Play'n Go has made sure that the design is very tasteful, and even though I am not a fan of the circus theme, I really enjoyed the game design. And when it comes to the technical aspects, this is yet another cluster pays slot, that offers a wild feature and a bonus round.

In the base game, the goal is to get as many wins as to uncover the Bonus symbol, just like in the first game. The Bonus symbol placement changes on every spin and sometimes it's easier to trigger it than others. Regardless, I find it quite fun to chase the feature, even though it can be a little frustrating when the bonus is just one symbol away from being triggered. Also, similar to other cluster slots, whenever you get a winning combination, one of the symbols turns into a wild symbol, And if you get wins with the circus characters, they contribute to a wild meter. And if you fill it in a single spin, it will add wilds to the screen. Again, this feature can help to get bigger wins in the base game and help to trigger the bonus round.

Once you get to the bonus round, you actually get free spins, which I really like. And you get to choose from 3 different features, which have different volatility, in my opinion. You can either get more spins with regular wilds or fewer spins with up to 3x wild multipliers. but the way the multipliers work is quite interesting. Again, on every spin, you get a wild meter you need to fill, and if you do it in a single spin, you get a free spin with the wild feature. I usually go with the 3x multiplier as it has great winning potential, even though it is the most volatile feature. Also, with every winning cascade, the multiplier in the bonus increases, so if you get a good 5 oak combination, you're looking at possibly great wins. 

With that all being said, I also have to say that this is a very volatile game. I've had multiple sessions where I've been spinning the game at minimum stakes and not having a single win over 50x bet. And also I think that while the bonus round has great winning potential, it's pretty much all or nothing- I've had dozens of bonus rounds with 20x-40x bet wins. Overall, it's definitely a fun game, the bonus chase, and wild features make the gameplay more exciting. But make sure to pay attention to your balance, as this game can take your money very quickly even with minimum stakes.

Golden Ticket 2 is the renewed version based on the popular Golden Ticket slot from Play'n Go which was part of the cluster series on a grid setup from Play'n Go. If you are familiar with Energoonz then you should know this setup.

On the reels, you will find the backdrop is set like in a circus-style with all symbols related to circus items magicians and performers use to make tricks. Wild symbols get generated on every win to create more wins and I think x wilds will give x500 or x1000 your total bet and the same applies when the entire grid has been cleared.

On the left, there is a wild multiplier meter and you need to try and fill it for a special feature. Similar to Moon Princess. You should note that only high-value symbols winning combinations will fill the reel up and if you fill the reel, multiplier wilds are added to the reels for bigger wins

For free spins, you need to try and clear the reels below the highlighted bonus reel that runs horizontally and if you manage to do that, you will trigger the free spins feature. Now before the bonus feature was bad and paid very low 99% of the time, this time a new concept was embedded into this slot.

During free spins, you get to choose 5, 7, or 9 free spins, and depending on the spins you will be rewarded with a 2x2 wild and multiplier value up to x3 wild colossal symbol. During free spins, any winning combination involving high-value symbols will fill the wild meter.

You will be awarded a special free spin where a wild colossal symbol will be placed anywhere on the reels for bigger wins. During this feature, there is an increasing multiplier, and adding those together can generate big wins. During this special spin, you can trigger the feature again and the multiplier is sticky for the next spin. You can win up to x5000 your total bet.

I had a good session but not big wins, however triggering the bonus feature is easy at times, but you need to be lucky to hit x200 – x500 wins.

Great graphics and animation, entertaining, easy to understand if you are new to this type of gameplay. A good concept and hopefully the next one will perfect this style
