Golden Pheasant Introduction
The game’s theme is likely based on the Aesop Fable called The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg. If you’re unfamiliar with the tale, here is an overview:
A couple owned a goose that laid one golden egg every day. Although they could become rich by collecting the eggs over time, they grew impatient. They decided to cut the goose open to capture the source of the gold, but they discovered that the animal was no different from any other goose. As such, the couple lost the source of the golden eggs because they were overcome with greed.
It is quite an interesting story to base a poker machine on, but plenty of games are based on folklore and fairy tales. Some other tales that have served as the basis for pokie themes are Jack and the Beanstalk, and The Princess and the Frog.
Bonus Features
What players most enjoy about the Golden Pheasant poker machine is its Free Spins round. In this bonus feature, the player can trigger a number of huge wins. Multiplier symbols are triggered during the free spins round, so players can earn generous cash prizes without spending any money on wagers. When several multiplier symbols appear on the reels at once, their values are added together. They also act as wild symbols, increasing the player’s chances of winning big.
Golden Pheasant is available in multiple denominations, and many players choose to wager on the mid-denomination version. Low denominations, like 1c and 2x, are popular, but they do not produce hugely generous prizes. High denominations, like 50c and $1, can be very generous, but the average player cannot normally afford to play these games. Mid-denominations offer the best of both worlds, as they are affordable to play and they provide very generous prizes.
In Land-Based Clubs
