About Alchemy Gold
Released on 19 October 2022, Alchemy Gold holds a special place in the PG Soft catalogue: it is one of the few titles from the studio running on cluster pays rather than lines or ways to win. On a 5x5 grid, a win forms as soon as 5 or more identical symbols group into a cluster, up to 25 symbols for the largest cluster. Payouts range from 2x to 600x the stake depending on cluster size. The engine runs on cascades: non-winning symbols are removed, winning ones stay in place, and new symbols drop in to fill the gaps. Every cascade raises the multiplier by +1. On top of that come the golden symbols: when a golden symbol is part of a winning cluster, it turns wild on the next cascade. Free spins trigger on 3 scatters — landing together or within the same cascade sequence — and award 10 rounds. The key difference from the base game: during the bonus, the cascade multiplier never resets and keeps stacking from spin to spin. Extra scatters extend the bonus. On the numbers, the RTP is 96.78% with a remarkable 25.77% hit frequency, roughly one spin in four. On the cap, let us stay factual: PG Soft advertises 5,000x, but the maximum exposure measured across one billion simulated spins is 2,661x — nearly half as much. Bets from €0.20 to €200, no bonus buy.
