Something that a lot of slots have in common is the fact that they lack insight and a story. They feel a bit generic – and this reduces the immersion you can expect from them. However, there are those that focus on keeping you engaged during your play session, like Golden Ark, a game that did so well, Novomatic decided to release a second one as well. This review takes a look at what Golden Ark offers, the bonuses, and its many features. We’ll also consider what you’re able to win when you play this slot.

About Golden Ark Slot

Golden Ark is a five-reel slot that comes with three rows, and up to 10 paylines. The game has an adventure theme, but, instead of the classic male character, there’s a female protagonist. This slot was developed by Novomatic, and features the company’s private NovoLine technology.

 

A 95.1% RTP isn’t the best, but at least it comes close to a high rating. The game has an average or medium volatility and a max win of 5,000x.

Game Features and Bonuses

Golden Ark has a couple of noteworthy features and bonuses. First of all, you’ll notice that the game comes with a Buy Bonus feature. You can find this function in the control panel – if you click on it, you’ll pay a certain amount of money (take a look at the amount above the button). Then, the game will immediately activate certain bonuses. It can help to get you to a big win faster, but also comes with risks, so make sure you’re cautious when using this feature.

 

As with many other slots, free spins is a thing in Golden Ark. You simply need to match some of the scatters on the board to trigger this bonus.

Game Symbols

Mystery and adventure are some elements that you’ll notice as you take a closer look at the symbols that can fall onto the board in Golden Ark. Apart from the game’s unique icons, you’ll be able to match your classic letters and numbers, too. These include K, Q, J, A, and the number 10. There is a button that gives you a popup with the paytable in the game.

How to Play

It’s always useful to find an official page that represents a slot game – it gives you some greater insight into the slot and lets you learn more before you play. Fortunately, Novomatic does have a page that represents Golden Ark. However, apart from a few screenshots, there are no demos or detailed information available.

 

When you play, you have to set both the number of lines you want to play (one to 10) and how many coins you wish to allocate to each of these paylines. The “Start” button will spin the reels.

Conclusion

Golden Ark is like Indiana Jones, but with a female adventurer as the main character. The game has a decent RTP, and there’s a max win that goes up to 5,000x. You can bet as little as 0.01, making this a good penny slot. However, to maximize your chances, you will need to consider staking money on all the winlines.
