Golden wins are possible if you’re lucky

This IGT Megajackpots Golden Goddess slot machine takes the original game that’s loved by many players around the world and adds a progressive jackpot that climbs into the millions.

If you’re not familiar with the original Golden Goddess slot game, then you’re obviously not an IGT slots fan.

Set in the age of the ancient Greek gods, this bright and sunny slot features the Golden beauty herself alongside Pegasus, doves, and a ‘charming’… man slave?

But, much like some of their more famous video slots Cleopatra and Siberian Storm, what International Gaming Technologies have done here is turned a great casino game into an ok one.

Lower RTP, but with a progressive jackpot

Why? Because even though you get the same great features, like stacked symbols, super-stacked symbols in the free spins and two wilds, your chances of winning big are greatly declined.

The original has a decent 96% return to player rate, providing you with some frequent wins across the 5 reels and 40 paylines.

However, here, the RTP changes depending on how big the progressive jackpot total has reached. Starting at 500,000 your RTP would be a measly 91.01%, rising to 92.01% at 700K and 93.02% for over 1 million.

Which, if this was any other normal game, we would quickly suggest that you go play on something different.

Preferably a higher RTP and better odds of winning, like Quickspin’s Mayana slot for example; or even (shockingly) go play on the original IGT game.

But you won’t. Because you don’t play on IGT MegaJackpot slots for every day wins. You’re here to win that potentially life-changing jackpot prize.

How to win the MegaJackpots Golden Goddess slot jackpot

It’s actually quite simple.

You might get base game wins where the MegaJackpots symbol acts as a wild and comes stacked, but cover the whole screen with these symbols and you’ve just won the top jackpot prize.

That’s 15 MeagJackpots symbols covering the 5×3 reels. Simple enough right?

Well, if you take the time to read the game’s paytable, it clearly states that the odds of winning the jackpot are directly related to how much you bet.

So much like the Microgaming Mega Moolah jackpot, it’s not saying you can’t win at the minimum bet of 0.40 per spin, but you’re less likely to win the jackpot than those betting 40 per spin.

To play or not to play with this goddess?

There’s no doubt that you’ll have some entertaining spins in this MegaJackpots Golden Goddess slot online or mobile.

But if you’re only after some low variance action with frequent wins then we suggest you play on the original.

However, those with a little disposable cash and feeling lucky could do worse than place a couple of larger bets here for the chance of winning the jackpot.

After all, this all about trying to catch that elusive cool million win.

For us though we’d probably still prefer to play on the NetEnt Mega Fortune Dreams slot which hits often, with a bigger jackpot and better RTP.
