How To Play
Goblin’s Cave is a funny looking slot from the start. The focus of the game is goblins, who kind of look like orcs and who in this slot have taken on a really tired appearance. Even though the actual plot remains thin, it is still gratifying to see that the orc/goblin theme is strong right from the beginning.
Goblin’s Cave is a cartoon-like slot with a theme faithfully on the screen. On the left side of the game screen, we see a tired orc that rolls the reels to the delight of the player. The slot itself is quite small in size, but the atmosphere is fun and the slot is also supported by great music. In this game, there is a terribly small number of winning patterns and unfortunately they don’t really stand out. The player must rely only on the game to see their winnings, as different winning patterns do not really say anything about the player’s winning amount.
Special Features
What definitely boosted the game is the payout percentage of slots, which is as high as 95.7%. For this reason, Goblin’s Cave is one of the highest RTP games on the market and beats a market average RTP. The wagering range of the game starts with a minimum bet of 20 cents and the maximum bet can be increased up to 20 euros. The minimum bet may be too high for some of those playing with the very smallest stakes, while the maximum bet is too low for some of the biggest bets.
Goblin’s Cave is classified as a medium volatility game, meaning it pays relatively evenly, both for small and slightly bigger bets. However, the maximum win will be at a range expected from low volatility games, as you can win back 450 times from this game at most.
Gaming Experience
Goblin’s Cave is an extremely simple game, with a 3-3-sized grid with only three paylines. So the player must get his winning symbol on the scales of some of the game’s three horizontal lines, otherwise the win will not be snapped to the spot.
As a rule, one win requires three matches to the winning lines, but for example 1-2 wilds give the player a win, as well as three different rings and three different crowns, for example. In the basic game, special features are very scarce and the only help you’ll have to get some winnings is the wild, which substitutes for all patterns except bonus symbols from the winning lines.
Goblin’s Cave Bonus Game
There are no actual free spins on the game, but three gold coins trigger the game bonus feature. At the beginning of the bonus feature, you will notice that the reels are not running like in a normal game. First of all, the lowest reel starts and once the reel has stopped, the player can choose with the hold button the patterns he wants to keep.
The player can win substantially in this way, but for very long term the game does not offer enough entertainment. At the end of the bonus feature, the player gets to choose a prize, after which the player returns to the base game. The bonus mode is really difficult to launch in this game and the potential for winnings are quite small.
Conclusion
Goblin’s Cave is a Playtech slot with a shockingly high 95.7% RTP. With the positive out of the way, the slot is quite boring, and the maximum win for medium volatility is too low. It is certainly worth giving a shot, but it is unfortunately not possible to get long-lasting fun out of this game.
