Golden 8 - Eight Liner at Slotland
the golden 8 machine is one of the first 8 liners i ever found online. playing this game today brings back some memories actually.
when i first started playing slots, the game i played was a 9 reel, 8 payline cherry master. the reels were set up like a tic tac toe board, and the 8 paylines followed suit. you can win up and down, across, or diagonal. simple enough.
but when i first started playing online, i couldn’t find any of these games. in fact, i think most casino software companies still don’t have 8-liners. on the cherry master there was a hold feature, some bonus spins, and a couple of different ways to unlock the bonuses. the golden 8 doesn’t have any of that. but, it is a game i can play from home, and it does have the same layout.
one of the unique things about this machine is that you can wager different amounts on different paylines. so, if you want to bet say, $1.50 on all of the rows, $1 on all of the columns, and nothing on the diagonals, you can!
the coins sizes are stuck in $.50 increments, and go up to $1.50 a spin.
there’s a little “play on your mobile” image that isn’t in the screenshot. i’m guessing there’s a mobile phone version of the game, but i’m clueless when it comes to these things. but, if you’re curious about these things, you might want to look into it.
there are two types of bonuses on this machine. one is the progressive jackpot bonus, and requires the player be playing max coins.
the second bonus is the blue diamonds bonus. every time you land 3 blue diamonds on the screen (doesn’t need to be on a pyaline, or even a winner), it increases the “blue diamond” counter by one. when the counter gets up to six, you get a free spin.
the free spin may be a big winner, or it may be nothing. but, that’s the blue diamond bonus.
this session, i played max bets, you know, hoping for the big winner. and i kept it up until i hit the blue diamond bonus. in the end, i was down a little, but i certainly got to play for while!
anyway, that’s the info on the Golden 8 Slot machine from Slotland.
