ABOUT THE BARBARIAN GOLD SLOT 

In this classic slot game inspired by ancient tales of treasure-hunting barbarians, Iron Dog Studios invites you on a quest for gold and fortunes. But be careful, there are brutal foes and evil monsters standing in your way to untold riches. 

The game’s quite colourful, with a cartoonish design that's almost too soft for the medieval theme of this slot. There are castles in the background for theme-accurate effects and the reels look like a giant contraption put together by a skilled medieval engineer. The background music is consistent with the theme and complements the game really well.

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

The slot grid has a simple five-reel, three-row layout with 20 paylines. Before you spin the reels, you get to set your stake amount, and the minimum you can bet per spin is €0.20. The game has 20 paylines. On each spin, you can earn a payout by matching three or more symbols on a pay line from left to right. 

SYMBOLS

Barbarian Gold has both low and high-value symbols on the reels. The low-value icons are colorful clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. There’s also a flail in this mix, but this is also a low-paying symbol even though it is one of the themed icons. 

The high-value symbols include the axe and the sword, both paying 25x for five symbols on a payline. Next is a green barbarian that looks more like a medieval version of the Hulk. This symbol pays 50x your wager as the maximum payout while the three-eyed-green snake pays 75x your bet amount. The highest-paying symbol in this slot is the barbarian. This symbol can unlock the slot’s top win of 10,000x the wager amount depending on the multiplier. This game also has a Wild symbol and a Scatter. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

The Wild symbol, which is a giant shield with the letter “W” on it, is the most important symbol in this game. It is linked to special features both in the base game and in the bonus round. In the base game, the Wild acts are regular Wild, replacing any of the game icons to form a winning combination. This shield is also an expanding Wild symbol. Whenever it lands on the reels, it expands to cover the entire reel, helping players win bigger payouts. 

BARBARIAN GOLD FREE SPINS FEATURES

The skull Scatter symbol is the key to unlocking the free spins bonus feature. It can appear anywhere on the reels, with three, four, or five Scatters trigger eight, ten, or twelve free spins respectively. 

The free spins bonus feature is in two levels. In the first level, the reel's backdrop transforms into a Lava game, and multipliers are applied to every winning spin. The bonus round starts with a 1x multiplier and increases by a factor of one each time a Wild symbol lands on the reels. 

If you get three, four, or five Scatters on the reels again, you’ll be granted 4, 5, or 6 extra spins and the game scene transforms again, this time into a gold cave. In the Gold Cave bonus level, landing Wilds will increase the multiplier count and also add extra spins. 

In addition to the generous free spins features within the game, you can also get free spins through casino bonuses. For instance, as a new player on EnergyCasino, you’ll get no deposit-free spins courtesy of the casino which allows you to spin the reels and potentially win real money even before you deposit cash into your account. Existing players can also get a free spins casino bonus through Energyspins rewards, deposit bonuses, or by participating in tournaments. 

BARBARIAN GOLD FREE PLAY (DEMO)

Before playing Barbarian Gold for real money, you can try it out first by playing in demo mode. This is a risk-free way to learn how this slot works before committing fully to it. In the Barbarian Gold demo, the casino gives you virtual coins which work just like real money. 

You can set your stake with your virtual balance and spin the reels just like you’re playing with real cash. You’ll even see your virtual balance increase as you play. However, this money cannot be withdrawn from the casino as real cash since it is only meant for practice.  

Accessing the Barbarian Gold demo on EnergyCasino is relatively straightforward. When you select the demo play option, the casino will either go straight into demo mode or prompt you to register and verify your account first. This depends on your location since players in certain jurisdictions are not allowed to play as visitors. 

OUR THOUGHTS ON BARBARIAN GOLD SLOT

Barbarian Gold by Iron Dog Studio is not a feature-heavy slot. The main bonuses to look forward to as the expanding wilds and free spins bonus. However, the fact that this bonus round has two levels adds an exciting twist to the game. The top win is also quite generous, although the slot’s high variance means big prizes might show up less frequently than you’ll probably want them to. Still, you're likely to find this game worth your time.
