Conclusion
Sails of Gold is a simple, yet relatively attractive slots game. The theme of new world exploration is one I haven’t seen before, which in itself shows a degree of imagination. However, I can’t help but feel that this is where any innovation ends. There was an opportunity to do something really inventive with this game but in the end, we are left with a pretty standard set of Wilds that don’t trigger anything and the usual Scatter triggered free spins. Play ‘n Go set a pretty high standard when it comes to how good a game can look and when compared to games from other software companies Sails of Gold is a beautiful looking game. However, if you compare it to other Play ‘n Go games, Sails of Gold is pretty forgettable. The House Edge is a little unfavourable; you’ll find better and you’ll find worse elsewhere, meaning, that you’d probably only want to play this game if you were drawn to its aesthetic and if you were after a relatively straight forward slots game.
