The Gothic slots game can be found at Microgaming casinos. Microgaming as a standard do not publish the slots house edge information of their games. However they lease their slots games out to casinos using other software, some of which do publish this information. So far we’ve only found one casino – JetBull – that has published this information for Gothic and they list the house edge as 4.5%. When playing at any other venue, this information should be used as a guideline only as the game may be configurable.
Night has descended and the blackness is impenetrable.
The Gothic game has 5 reels and does not use standard paylines. Instead any 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left side of the reels constitutes a win. This is equivalent to 243 standard paylines.
The ‘Crystal Ball’ symbol is wild.
There is only one bonus feature when playing Gothic and it is activated when you receive 3 or more of the ‘Pendent’ scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. When this happens you’ll be taken to a new screen showing 15 gems. Select the gems one at a time to reveal prizes. When you reveal ‘Collect’ the bonus feature ends.
Conclusion
For a house edge only just under average, the only surprising thing to be found in the dark is a lack of bonus features.
