Golden Retriever

About Golden Retriever

Golden Retriever is a 5x3 slot released under the Pragmatic Play banner and built by Reel Kingdom, the partner studio behind the Big Bass series. Anyone who has played those fishing titles will recognise the shape of it. A wild character sweeps up cash values during the bonus, ten fixed paylines carry the base game, and a Hold & Spin round sits alongside the Free Spins. The collector here is a dog rather than a fisherman, with the retriever fetching money symbols across a countryside setting.

At Midnite the game runs at 94% RTP with a high volatility rating, and the maximum win is 5,000x your stake. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.05 per spin. The title went live on 21 August 2026.

How to Play Golden Retriever

Set your stake, then spin the five reels. Wins pay left to right across ten fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Card ranks from 10 to A make up the low payers and return around 10x to 20x the bet for a five of a kind, while the picture symbols pay between 20x and 200x. The golden retriever acts as the wild and substitutes for standard symbols.

Three, four or five scatters open the bonus, and the number that lands decides both the size of the round and which mode you enter. Free Spins award 10, 15 or 20 spins. Hold & Spin locks coin symbols in place and respins the rest of the grid. Both rounds are built around money symbols, which carry values between 2x and 500x the bet. The in-game paytable holds the exact scatter and multiplier tables for the Midnite build.

Golden Retriever Features

• Money Symbols: Bowl and coin symbols land with cash values between 2x and 500x the bet. They are the main source of larger payouts in both bonus rounds.
• Free Spins: 3, 4 or 5 scatters award 10, 15 or 20 spins. Wild retrievers collect the value of any money symbols on screen, which is the Big Bass style collect mechanic the operator input points to.
• Collect Multipliers: Every fourth wild collected during Free Spins adds 10 more spins and steps the collection multiplier up, moving through x2, x5 and x10.
• Hold & Spin: A respin round where only blanks and sticky coin symbols land. The reserved multiplier starts at x1, x3 or x10 depending on the scatter count, and filling the grid raises it as far as x25.

Golden Retriever Theme and Symbols

Reel Kingdom has gone for a bright countryside setting, with green fields behind the grid and a red lead framing the reels. Reviews place the backdrop in the Scottish countryside. Presentation and audio stay light rather than cinematic, which is in keeping with the rest of the studio's catalogue.

Low payers are the usual card ranks from 10 to A. Above them sit dog toys and accessories, including a rope toy, a football, a bag of treats and a dog bed. The retriever itself is the wild, a kennel acts as the scatter, and the food bowl carries the money values. Symbol design is clean and readable, so cash values stay legible during Hold & Spin when the grid fills up.

• Bigger Bass Bonanza: A wider grid version of the same format with more ways to land the collector wild.
• Big Bass Splash: Adds selectable Free Spins modes on top of the standard money symbol maths.
• Big Bass Reel Repeat: Built around repeat triggers, so bonus rounds tend to run longer.
