Golden Mane Slot
Overall Thoughts
Golden Mane is a fairly decent slot release from Nextgen, if you enjoy uncomplicated slots with frequent bonus rounds then this definitely has something new to offer.
The 2 scatter bonus rounds are a novel touch but are nowhere near as rewarding as the main 3 scatter ones, with 4 symbols turned into wilds this becomes a quite volatile 10 payline slot capable of some decent wins.
The variance might not be as high as other 10 payline slots such as the Novomatics but the flip side is a very high RTP and much more frequent free spins bonus rounds.
