We could start this review with a pun based on the slot’s name, but we’re not going to do that. Well, well, well, not yet anyway. We will start as we mean to go on by getting straight to it and mentioning that this game is a part of a collection from the development team CR Games. Titles that are a part of a series in the online slot world are always worth a look because it means what has gone before must have been well received, or there would be no point pressing on with further instalments. So, everything looks good so far.
Released in 2018, if you didn’t realise by now, thanks to the slot’s name, this is a casino game that takes inspiration from the popular idea of Irish luck being a thing. We naturally associate wells with retrieving treasure rather than water, and they’re often found in fields on the emerald isle. So, as this slot is called Buckets of Gold, it fits with what punters are trying to do, and that’s to potentially win buckets of gold. Of course, we have seen this theme and idea countless times before, but there is almost something enchanting around the whole Irish luck vibe where slot machines are concerned.
As with other CR Games releases, in Well, Well, Well, Buckets of Gold, we get the infamous High Roller feature, something which we will come onto later. You could suggest this is one of the main reasons punters will be drawn to the slot, but there is a lot more to like, such as the game's bonus rounds, of which there are three, to coincide with how many Wells there are. The developer also ensures that the slot is available to enjoy across all devices, including smartphones and tablets, which makes this as accessible as they come.
Well, Well, Well, Buckets Of Gold Feature Symbols
A quick stop by the paytable of Buckets of Gold shows four royal icons – J, Q, K and A, and they’re the lower-paying symbols. It’s somewhat unusual, but not where games from this supplier are concerned, to see that all four pay the same – x3 = 50p, x4 = £1 and x5 = £10. The royal icons are also well designed with a curly font making them stand out more than usual.
As well as the four royals, five icons relate to the theme, and they include a toadstool house, violin, harp, four-leaf clover, a pot of gold and a wishing well. The latter is the wild and will pay a whopping £50 for five appearing in the game area. You can also receive the same amount where the pot of gold icon is concerned.
Well, Well, Well, Buckets Of Gold Bonuses and Jackpots
If you count how many times the word Well appears in the game’s title, you will know how many bonus features you can expect to play in Buckets of Gold. Things begin with the Golden Well Bonus, with punters needing to see the Golden Well icon appear on reel three. The bucket will then lower into the well and retrieve a cash prize.
There is also another well in the game, but this time it’s a regular type of well that will perform like a wild. Any lower-paying icon can be replaced by the well wild, which is excellent, as it will naturally increase the chance of forming winning combinations. However, it’s also worth noting that three or more of these wells will trigger up to twenty free spins for players to enjoy.
The final bonus offering is what is known as High Roller, where CR Games releases are concerned. Punters can opt to play with wagers of £20, £30 or £50 and will get special spins as a result. Of course, activating the game in high roller mode will come with perks such as paying both ways, and the £50 wager will have all the benefits of £20 and £30, with a few extras.
Play Well, Well, Well Buckets of Gold at Foxy Bingo
In Foxy Bingo we have checked out several CR Games releases of late, and they all follow a similar format, with Magpie Mayhem a prime example. We like what we see in terms of this blueprint being successful with the High Roller feature and bonuses. The slots are somewhat basic, and this is a common theme, but adding it to what this developer brings to the table makes it a decent slot offering.
