Today we debut the review on a one-of-a-kind slot available exclusively at Golden Nugget’s online casino. This is the first video slot that has been designed for and hosted by New Jersey’s largest online casino. NextGen—the developer behind such games as A Dragon’s Story, Jackpot Jester, Merlin’s Magic Respins and MonsterWins—had the honor of designing the game and they’ve done a good job. Let’s take a look at what this unique game has to offer.

Overview: Golden Nugget Slot Machine

This new slot takes advantage of Golden Nugget’s long and storied history in the gambling world. Symbols include everything you’d find in an old-school brick-and-mortar casino, which is where Golden Nugget got its start back in 1946 in Las Vegas. The soundtrack has a similar 1940’s vibe, reminiscent of the Big Band era and movie musicals of the time.

Who will Golden Nugget Online Slot appeal to?

This game will be popular among those who enjoy retro-styled games. It’s a nice departure from some of the more complicated or graphic-heavy games that have come on the scene lately, making it a good choice for the player who wants a break from that.

This is a medium-high volatility game and is aimed at the mid-stakes player, given the additional funds needed to play bonus features. Those bonus features are also a draw for players who want something a bit extra for their money.

Gameplay: Golden Nugget Video Slot

This video slot features traditional casino symbols—a roulette wheel, old-time 3×3 slot, a pair of dice, Blackjack cards—as well as the 9 through Ace. There’s also a Golden Nugget Wild that appears on reel 3 only, and a stack of poker chips that act as the Scatter symbol.

You’ll start by setting your bet, which can range from 25 cents to $125. Use the + coins and – coins located above and below the Spin button to set the amount. Then it’s time to play. You can use the standard Spin button, located to the right of the reels, or use the Autoplay feature.

Several of the symbols pay out for two of a kind, but it’s more typical that three or more of a kind will produce a win, with the Golden Nugget Wild substituting for all symbols except the Scatter.

Additional features

GoldenBet

In addition to your standard bet, you can utilize the GoldenBet feature. This is an additional wager that provides bonus enhancements during both standard play and the Free Games Bonus. These enhancements, along with their cost, are as follows:

• Level 2: The cost is 25 coins and spins can turn the Blackjack cards, dice, roulette wheel and slot machine symbols into Gold.
• Level 1: The cost is 10 coins and spins can turn the dice, roulette wheel and slot machine symbols into Gold.

Note: If you choose not to use the GoldenBet feature, only the roulette wheel and slot machine symbols are eligible to turn to Gold.

To engage the GoldenBet feature, click on the red GoldenBet button to the left of the reels. One click will cost you 10 coins, while two clicks will cost you 25 coins. Your chosen GoldenBet level stays on until you change it.

Autoplay

Like pretty much all NextGen games, the Golden Nugget slot machine has an Autoplay button. It is located to the right of the Spin button. Just click on the dual arrows and a pop-up will appear with your choice of Autoplay spins (10, 25, 50 or 100). Once you choose, the number of Autoplay spins will appear in place of the Spin button.

Special features: Golden Nugget Slots Online

VIP Golden Touch

The VIP Golden Touch feature randomly turns some or all of the symbols surrounding a Golden Nugget Wild into GOLD (aka Wild). The number of symbols that change is dependent up on your GoldenBet level. As you might imagine, at the highest GoldenBet Level, you can turn up to 8 symbols into Wild, making for some really fantastic wins. But even 2 or 3 extra Gold Wilds can improve your prize amount.

VIP Free Games

Three or more Scatter symbols will trigger the Free Games Bonus. You will get 15 free spins for 3 symbols, 20 free spins for 4, and 25 free spins for 5. The VIP Golden Touch is in play during your free games. The Free Games bonus can be retriggered, with no apparent limit.

What works?

Simplicity

The game is visually easy to play, nothing too complicated, but fun at the same time.

GoldenBet

The fact that you can choose to use this or not and even choose which of the two levels to use is a great touch. It provides a variety of options based on a player’s bankroll and can add an immense value.

VIP Golden Touch

Bonus games are always a welcome addition and have become an industry standard. The free spins on this game are higher than most, with even the lowest level giving you 15 free spins, rather than the standard 8 or 10. Add to that the facts that it can be retriggered and the GoldenBet can be in play really enhance this feature.

What doesn’t?

Return-to-Player Percentage

The RTP on this game ranges from 95.3% to 95.62%, with the range based on a player’s GoldenBet setting. Nowadays, players expect nothing short of 96%, and given that you’re shelling out for the GoldenBet, I’d like to see this game at least match that 96%. With the lower RTP, I’m not seeing as many wins as I would like on a regular basis.

Smaller Wins

Given that you can double your bet using Level 2 of the Golden Bet, some of the lower symbols pay out pathetically. With a base bet of $5 and a Level 2 bet equaling $5, I was a bit dismayed at three 9 symbols only paying out 40 cents. (But for the lucky among you, the bigger wins with extra Gold Wilds can offset this disappointment.)

The Scores

Graphics & soundtrack 4/5

Graphics are clean and recognizable and perfectly in tune with the game. Also in tune is the soundtrack. While the Big Band music can get annoying if left on a medium or high volume, it’s very pleasant at a lower level for long periods of time and adds to the atmosphere of the game. Almost like being in a brick-and-mortar casino back in the day.

Originality & creativity 3/5

The game plays off the history of the Golden Nugget brand, and while very few of the elements are original, they are true to that and used in creative ways. The GoldenBet and Golden Touch features are also creative takes on standard bonus features and work well with the theme of the game.

Play value 3.5/5

Utilizing the GoldenBet feature can really make play more enjoyable, with an increase in both the number of wins and prize amounts. The increased number of free spins also makes the play value higher.

Jackpot potential 4/5

A moderate to high initial bet combined with the GoldenBet can make for some really large wins.

Repeat play 3.5/5

While there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles, the game is nice diversion from some of the graphic-heavy slots you see today. The music can be played pleasantly in the background, which really rounds out the experience. Add to that the bonus features and you have a solid game from a well-known developer at one of New Jersey’s best online casinos.

Total score: 18/25

Overall, Golden Nugget slot game is a winner. Yes, the RTP could be higher, but all the wonderful features can really make up for that and provide an enjoyable experience.

Playing slots in Atlantic City is a thrill. There’s nothing like hitting a big winner, hearing the buzzer go off and driving home with a fatter wallet in your pocket.

However, it’s not always feasible to drive to America’s Playground. Life can get in the way.

Fortunately, that doesn’t mean you have to stop playing your favorite slot machine games. NewJersey is home to nearly two dozen online casinos, and all of them have several great slot titles available.

In fact, you can find versions of some of your favorite slot machines online.

So, here’s a handy guide that will both help you find your preferred games and, when you want to explore, pick new ones to try.

As it turns out, playing on a slot machine is not just about pulling a lever or pressing a button. Well — it’s mostly that, but not entirely so.

Online casinos with Atlantic City slots

Home to 22 online casinos, New Jersey is one of the most well-established online casino markets in the US.

Players in the Garden State have been able to access games with their mobile devices since 2013.

Naturally, every single one of the online casinos in NJ offers slot titles.

While some of these games are unique to online play, and sometimes the online casino itself, many of the games are either versions of or similar to actual slot machines found in Atlantic City’s nine casino properties.

Top 5 AC slots available online

So, here are some of the best-known Atlantic City slot games that you can also find online.

Many of these games are available on multiple sites, so you don’t have to restrict yourself to any particular online casino to find your favorite game.

By no means is this list meant to be exhaustive. The range of online slot titles is staggering and far too great to list.

For instance, the Golden Nugget online casino has 644slottitles under its banner.

Most of the other online casinos in New Jersey have at least 100 games.

The list of games below, therefore, are just a few of the choices you have for Atlantic City slot titles that appear online.

1. Quick Hits – A classic from Bally

Quick Hits is a series of slot games designed by Bally and Scientific Games. The game is quite popular because of its simple action and old-school sensibilities.

In fact, Quick Hits’ games are some of the few remaining slot titles to make extensive use of reel symbols like cherries, bells, bars and 7s. Other symbols that appear on the reels are wilds and the Quick Hit, the latter of which portends bigger slot payouts.

So, players who favor Quick Hits have a decidedly retro sensibility. The game itself is a five-reel machine with 30 paylines and an RTP just over 94%.

Quick Hits also has a bonus symbol that may appear from time to time on the middle three reels. Securing this symbol on all three reels in a single spin will trigger the free spin slot bonus.

2. Siberian Storm – The original Multiway Xtra slot machine

Siberian Storm is a winter-themed game that features jewels, tundra and most prominently, tigers.

The IGT slot game is a staple in both Atlantic City and online casinos throughout New Jersey.

However, Siberian Storm’s allure is not simply its theme. Players can also win big on the game, both through its free game system and its “Multiway Xtra” feature.

The bonus system and its free games are triggered by players who manage to land five bonus symbols on their reels. The free spins begin at eight, and can potentially add up to a player receiving a whopping 240 free turns at winning.

The “Multiway Xtra” feature explodes the number of paylines up to 720. That, combined with a 94.22% RTP, makes Siberian Storm worth a look.

3. China Shores – A Konami favorite for slot players

China Shores is, as its name implies, an Asian-themed slot title that is nearly ubiquitous in both online and land-based casinos.

The panda mascot is recognizable from across the room, and the game’s higher-than-average RTP keeps players loyal.

One of the signature features of China Shores is its free spins bonus. Like many slot games, players who manage to scatter three or more bonus symbols — in this case, yin-yangs — across the reels will result in the player winning at least eight free turns.

The difference is that players will have a choice between taking the free spins and selecting an option known as the credit prize.

The creditprize is a range of guaranteed wins that players can choose if they don’t want to take the free spins. The prize can end up being either a better or worse deal than if the player had simply spun, but the idea of locking up a secure win is quite attractive.

The Konami game features 30 paylines, five reels and an RTP of 96.1%. So, in general, your slot dollars will go longer at China Shores than most other machines.

4. Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania – Follow Larry in versions 1, 2 and 3

Atlantic City is a coastal town, so it makes sense to play a slot game that evokes the feeling of being out on the water. Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania (and its variants) does exactly that.

Lucky Larry’s is a popular creation from game developer IGT. It features the game’s namesake attempting to collect treasure as he explores lighthouses and fishes for lobsters in locales around the world.

One of the most notable features of Lucky Larry’s is its animation, which is brightly colored and reminds players of SpongeBob SquarePants. However, what keeps players coming back is the potential for big wins.

Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania is a five-reel game with 40 paylines. Players can win opportunities for multiple bonuses, free spins, and multipliers while they play this 94.14% RTP title.

5. Wheel of Fortune – A staple in any online casino

Wheel of Fortune is a marquee title, no matter where you’re playing.

The slot machine version of the long-running game show, a product of powerhouse developer IGT, continues to draw crowds wherever it is.

Part of the game’s lasting appeal is its signature bonus, which features the eponymous wheel itself. Players spend multiple games in an attempt to trigger this famous bonus, which pays out every time and can potentially result in a jackpot for the player.

There are so many iterations of Wheel of Fortune, both online and live, that it would be impossible to detail how each one works. However, no matter which version you play, it is always a good thing when the game chants “Wheel of Fortune” at you.

The different versions of Wheel of Fortune bear a wide range of RTPs and paylines. However, they are usually five-reeled games and will always return 94% or better for every person who plays.

What does RTP mean?

By now, if you’ve read this far, you’ve seen the acronym RTP.

If you’re unfamiliar with slot machines or have never given them much thought beyond pulling the lever (a reasonable position to take), you may be wondering what RTP is, and why it matters.

RTP is short for return to player. Simply put, it’s the percentage of money that a player can expect to get back from a slot machine in the long run.

Believe it or not, despite their reputation as “one-armed bandits,” slot machines are designed to not keep most of the money that they receive as wagers.

You can usually find the RTP information of any slot machine you play by either looking around the machine or asking a customer service representative. In fact, some machines even use their high RTPs as a selling point.

Of course, the RTP figure that you receive is the theoretical RTP. In other words, it’s the return that you would receive if you had an infinite amount of money and time to play.

In the short run, your actual return can and does vary wildly. Many times, you receive nothing in return. However, we all play for those times that the return goes over 100%.

Atlantic City slot machine payouts

As it turns out, New Jersey regulates the minimum RTP that a slot machine can produce. By regulation, no slot device in the Garden State can return less than 83% of its wagers.

Furthermore, operators are limited in how much they can reward players for betting higher. In other words, low-limit players cannot be penalized for their play by more than 100th of a percentage point unless the game itself has a low drop in RTP.

Atlantic City slots vs. online slots

Of course, both Atlantic City and online slot games in New Jersey must abide by this same regulation. However, the difference between the two is the ease of gaining information.

Most online slot games have their RTPs front and center in the information they provide. A simple click can reveal not only the player’s expected return but also the maximum bet level and the maximumwin possible.

This transparency means that online slots cannot afford to have many games approaching the legal limit for RTP. The power of competition yields a situation where it’s a challenge to find an online slot with an RTP below 94%.

Atlantic City slots have a bit more leeway in terms of competitive pressures. It’s just not as easy to change one’s game or casino so that you might see lower RTPs here and there. In general, AC casinos have average RTPs that hover between 91.5%-92.5%.

Regardless of whether you’re playing live or online, you should generally gravitate toward games with a higher RTP. Otherwise, you’re giving up extra percentage points to the house. Trust us; they have plenty of those already.

Can I earn comps at AC casinos for playing online?

Yes, but it varies from casino to casino. Some online casinos in New Jersey have loyalty programs that allow you a direct or indirect route to perks at Atlantic City properties.

For instance, Golden Nugget players are automatically enrolled in the site’s Ultimate Rewards program when they register. Players receive perks and benefits based upon their level of play.

Should a player earn 5,000 Golden Points, he or she becomes a member of Golden Nugget’s VIP Rewards Club. One of the benefits of the club is complimentary perks at Golden Nugget Atlantic City, so playing online can certainly turn into real-life amenities.

Similarly, Tropicana online has its online VIP loyalty program.

Though the program is reserved for high-wagering, high-volume players, it is possible to receive comped getaways to the hotel in Atlantic City, tickets to major events, and luxury dining experiences as a result of your play.

However, the path to comps is not always as clear at every online casino. For example, players at Borgata online can earn iRewards Points from their play. Still, unless they convert these to Express Comps, there’s no direct connection to any of Borgata or MGM’s amenities through its online casino loyalty program.

Some casinos are even more segregated.

Instead of involving real-world components, they simply award cash back to players for achieving certain levels of play.

There are even some online casinos in New Jersey who eschew loyalty programs and comps altogether. They choose to serve their customers in other ways.

If receiving comps for your play is a big deal to you, you will need to shop around New Jersey’s various online casinos.
