How to play Emperor’s Gold mobile slot
This Asian inspired Emperor’s Gold slot game provides you with the option to bet bigger for bigger rewards.
In fact the 5 reels and 10 paylines are full of the familiar A – J symbols mingled in with the more graphical tigers, pandas, temples, dragon wilds, lanterns and characters fulfilling the Asian theme.
But it’s the way that you can change your return to player rate, along with which bonus features you trigger the more you bet, that will appeal to the more experienced slots players out there.
This is all thanks to their Big Bet option that can be found in a few of Barcrest’s other mobile slots like Ooh Aah Dracula and Rainbow Riches Pick n Mix.
Emperor’s Gold betting options
Bet below 2.00 real money per spin, and your RTP is only 94%. Bet above 2.00 per spin and that increases to 96%.
But choose one of the three Big Bet options and you’re now up to a theoretical return of 98%.
However, that higher RTP comes at a price, but with more features.
- Option 1: 20.00 for 5 spins where the dragon wild symbol expands and stays sticky throughout
- Option 2: 30.00 for 5 spins where the dragon wild expands, is sticky and you can activate the Super Bonus Trail
- Option 3: 50.00 for 5 spins with the dragon wild expanding and is sticky along with the Mega Bonus Trail
Those bonus trails reward you with more big bet spins or free spins. The Mega Bonus Trail, starts you off with a high paying symbol when triggering the free spins, hopefully increasing your chance at some big wins.
And the Free spins are the key to big wins
It has to be said that you’ll be lucky to win big during the base game, or even the big bet games, unless you manage to hit the free spins.
Why? Because it’s the free spins that provide you with the biggest thrills thanks to the expanding wilds. You start the free spins with the lowest paying character symbol being the only character symbol on the reels.
Then every time an expanding wild shows up it will increase the high paying symbol to help create bigger wins. This is even more prominent in the bonus trail free spins where the wild symbol is sticky on every spin.
A game that is more suited for the experienced slots player who are happy to bet around 6 coins a spin, but one that is truly unique.
For something a little easier on the wallet, Black Magic Fruit slot also has the big bet, but isn’t required to have fun or win big.

Emperor’s Gold Review Conclusion
If you're a fan of betting big, then then this Emperor's Gold slot on mobile definitely gives you the chance to do that with three options for more features.
Though if you want to bet more than 10 a spin, we'd probably still play on some other Williams slots, as even though there's a 500 a spin max bet, only the big bet options give you the features.
That said, the free spins, with advancing high paying symbols, provide more chance for stacked symbol wins giving you the opportunity for some exciting thrills.
However, if it's Asian themed slots you like then it's also worth taking a look at Bally Interactive's Lucky Tree machine.
