Pragmatic Play Adds Golden Beauty, an Oriental-Themed Slot, to Its Collection
Released on 27th February, Pragmatic Play’s Golden Beauty is an oriental-themed 3D video slot for mobile and desktop. It has a 5x4 reel layout with 75 pay lines and offers up to 45 free spins, along with a feature that may help offset losses from the high-variance base game.
The historical article identified two features that could help Golden Beauty become a popular Pragmatic Play title, and linked them to its stated 96.44% expected RTP.
Golden Beauty has a progressive feature that may recoup losses incurred in the base game. In the free-spins bonus round, players can choose the volatility, balancing the number of free spins against the number of wild symbols on the reels.
The progressive feature runs over 10 regular-game spins and may appeal to fans of high-variance slots. When a single or stacked ‘golden lotus’ lands, gold rings mark its reel positions. A counter records each spin until it reaches 10.
After the tenth spin, symbols marked by the ‘golden lotus’ become wild. The feature can create up to three wild reels, or wild symbols across multiple positions, giving several symbol combinations a chance to pay on one spin.
Pragmatic Play also lets players choose the format of the free-spins bonus. They can opt for more spins with fewer wilds or fewer spins with more wild symbols.
With 5 scatter symbols, players can choose 45, 30 or 15 free spins. 4 scatters offer 30, 20 or 10, while 3 scatters unlock 15, 10 or 5. At each trigger level, the choices are 5, 7 or 10 wild symbols, so the number of available wilds stays consistent across all three levels.
The slot’s setting evokes an imagined Asian town, complete with Chinese lanterns, traditional Asian-style rooftops and an oriental colour palette. These elements establish the game’s themed backdrop.
Golden Beauty was the fifth slot Pragmatic Play released for mobile and desktop that February, following Mysterious, Master Joker, Super 7s and El Dorado The City of Gold. The studio had also announced Aztec Bonanza, The Wild Machine and Dance Party for March 2020, giving players three more releases to anticipate that month.
