Gold Oasis Slot Bonuses and Features
Symbol Duel. At random, this feature can trigger whereby one of the paying symbols is selected to replace all instances of 2-10 other paying symbols on the final screen.
Free Spins Bonus. If you land 3 scatter symbols, you’ll win a small amount of 2x your stake, as well as trigger the free spins bonus. 5 free spins are given, and during these, all symbols pay as 5 of a kind for a win. Additionally, every scatter symbol that you land during the bonus is collected at the top, and for every 2 that you get, a duel between 2 random paying symbols is initiated. The winning symbol of the duel will replace all instances of the losing symbol on the reel for the whole bonus. You can only trigger a maximum of 10 duels during the bonus. Duels also give you more free spins, with the first 5 giving you 2 additional free spins, and the remaining 5 giving just 1 per duel.
Bonus Buy. You can buy the bonus in this game for 100x your stake, or pay 200x your stake for the super free spins bonus where the highest value symbols are guaranteed to win any duels.
Conclusion
Gold Oasis slot from Pragmatic Play is quite an interesting game with the main focus being on duels. This can trigger on any win, even in the base game, and help to turn instances of some symbols into others. It doesn’t do too much in the base game usually, but during the free spins bonus it’s far more effective as symbols that win the duels have the winning effect last for the whole bonus. It can be hard to get many duels sometimes, but when you do it’s quite effective and it helps that these give you more free spins as well. The cap at 10 duels is fine and will rarely be achieved anyway. It’s a shame the super bonus isn’t available in the U.K. as this could be an enticing option. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good slot with a maximum win of 7,260x your stake and could be worth a shot.
