Gold runs on 20 fixed paylines with wins read left to right. The paytable is split into low-value card ranks (9 to A), mid-tier gold-themed objects, one top premium symbol, plus a wild that substitutes for regular symbols and a scatter that triggers free spins. No source publishes exact cash values per symbol, so this page describes structure and hierarchy rather than specific payout figures.
- Card ranks 9-A form the low-pay tier
- Gold-themed objects sit in the mid tier, one top symbol above them
- Wild substitutes for regulars only; scatter triggers free spins independently
How the symbol tiers are structured
Gold's reels are built entirely around gold and luxury imagery tied to the licensed Spandau Ballet track. Reviews consistently split the symbol set into two groups: gold-styled card ranks (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) at the bottom, and gold objects or ornaments above them, with a single top symbol paying the most of the regular set.
No source transcribes a full symbol-by-symbol payout table with cash values for every match count. Coverage instead summarizes the tier order and points to the top-end potential without listing intermediate figures, so exact per-symbol payouts cannot be quoted here.
The wild is described as a standard substitute: it replaces regular symbols to complete lines but does not stand in for the scatter. At least one review notes that wilds landing during free spins can carry a fixed multiplier on the win they help form, which raises their weight in that round specifically.
The scatter is treated as the feature trigger. It is not tied to the 20 paylines and can be evaluated as it lands anywhere on the grid; enough scatters unlock the free spins round. Sources treat it purely as a trigger mechanism rather than a paying line symbol in the base game context.
Because reel-row counts differ between sources — some describe 5x3, others 5x5 — the exact number of visible symbol positions per spin is not settled in the available material. What is consistent across every source is the 20 fixed lines and left-to-right win evaluation.

Paytable questions about Gold
Does the wild in Gold substitute for the scatter symbol?
No. Reviews consistently describe the wild as substituting for regular symbols only, while the scatter functions independently as the free spins trigger.
Do wilds pay extra during the free spins round?
At least one review notes wilds carrying a fixed multiplier on wins they help form during free spins, distinct from their base-game substitution role.
Is the scatter symbol tied to the 20 paylines?
No. The scatter is described as landing anywhere on the reels rather than needing to appear on one of the fixed lines to count toward triggering free spins.
Are the exact cash values for each symbol published anywhere?
No source transcribes a full per-symbol paytable with cash amounts for every match count; only the tier order and top-end potential are described in text.
Does the number of visible rows affect how the paytable reads?
Sources disagree on whether the grid is 5x3 or 5x5, but the 20 fixed paylines and left-to-right win direction stay constant regardless of that difference.
