Cerberus Gold (PearFiction) – Review & Demo Play

Cerberus Gold - Slot Theme And Storyline

I’m dropped straight into the Underworld, with Cerberus looming above the grid and each head tied to a different LockNWin coin. PearFiction’s neon palette pops against the murky green backdrop, while spine chilling audio adds bite. The dog isn’t just window dressing: those orange, yellow, and pink markings match Multiply, Jackpot, and Supreme modes. Five fixed jackpot displays sit beside the reels, teasing what’s up for grabs. It’s a mythology styled event, yet the studio’s off beat attitude still peeks through the character art.

Cerberus Gold Rules And Gameplay

Gameplay runs on 5 reels and 3 rows, with a horizontal top reel spinning to drop Split Symbols. When they land, a reel can extend to 4, 5, or 6 symbols high, and the ways expand from 243 up to 7,776. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. Any splitting that occurs in the base game is carried into LockNWin. It feels lively without being messy, and the expanding ways help the Fireball setups feel more meaningful.

You get Autospin, Quickspin, and Turbo Spin, plus neat toggles for audio and graphics. Stakes run from €0.20 to €50 per spin, suiting casual tests and full sessions. The hit frequency is 27.42%, so you see steady connectors in between the feature chases. Wilds land to substitute regular symbols, except Fireballs, Collect, and Splits. I found the rhythm smooth once the top reel starts feeding splits, and it sets up those respin sequences well when the coins finally bite.

Symbols And Paytable in Cerberus Gold

The lower paying set is Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Payouts for 3, 4, or 5 of a kind run like this: Ace or King pay 0.20x, 0.60x, or 1x the bet; Queen, Jack, or Ten pay 0.10x, 0.40x, or 0.60x. You can also frame it as 5 of a kind awarding between 0.6x and 1x across the card ranks. These act as steady fillers while you stalk Fireballs and coins.

The higher paying symbols are a skull minion, a knight, a mage, a female warrior, and a crowned king. For 3, 4, or 5, they pay 1x, 1.50x, and 2x; 1x, 1.50x, and 2.50x; 1x, 2x, and 3x; 1.20x, 2.50x, and 4x; and 1.50x, 3x, and 5x respectively. Wilds substitute for all regulars, but not Fireballs, Collect, or Split symbols. That substitution helps complete ways when the grid has been extended by Splits or is stacked with money symbols.

Cerberus Gold Bonuses & Special Features

Cerberus Gold runs a Spinning Reels system with an extra horizontal row above the main set. It spins on every turn, dropping 4x, 5x, or 6x Split Symbols that add 1, 2, or 3 rows to whichever reel they hit. The upgrade is sticky into LockNWin, so starting a respin bonus with tall reels can be huge. Splits can also trigger during respins, creating bigger windows for Fireballs, jackpots, and multipliers to land and lock.

Fireballs act as money symbols and can land anywhere with values from 0.10x up to 100x the stake. A Collect symbol appears on reel 5 and instantly pays all Fireball values in view. Souls can appear as overlays and raise the Orb Multiplier by one step, up to 10x. When a Collect lands, that multiplier is applied to the Fireballs and then resets to 1x. It’s a sharp base game spike and a tidy set-up before coins trigger.

Orange, yellow, and pink Cerberus coins can trigger Multiply, Jackpot, or Supreme LockNWin. You start with 3 respins; landing a Fireball, Jackpot coin, or Multiplier resets the counter to 3, and all money symbols lock. Multiply begins at 2x, with Multiplier symbols adding their shown values from 2x to 100x to the total. Jackpot mode fills token meters for Micro 10x, Mini 20x, Minor 100x, Major 500x, and Mega 5,000x, which are not multiplied. Supreme has yellow Fireballs collecting red, and purple collecting red and yellow.

Buy Feature in Cerberus Gold

You can buy straight into the action, either a single mode or a combo of two or all three. Prices are set at 30.10x for Multiply, 36.40x for Jackpot, and 23.90x for Supreme. The pairings cost 56.85x for Multiply plus Jackpot, 55.40x for Multiply plus Supreme, and 53.10x for Jackpot plus Supreme. The full trio costs 71.70x. I liked being able to test lines with splits active and then decide whether to push for jackpots or multipliers.

Cerberus Gold RTP, Volatility, And Max Win

The default RTP sits at 96.02%, with two other configurations reported at 94.03% and 92.03%. Volatility leans very high in my experience, so sessions can swing, yet the hit rate of 27.42% keeps enough small connectors rolling through. That combination suits the LockNWin format, where board position matters. If your market offers the lower RTP settings, adjust expectations, as the grind will feel heavier. I stuck to mid stakes until I’d sampled each bonus buy and coin mix.

Top potential is 5,000x the bet, delivered either by the Mega Jackpot in Jackpot LockNWin or through stacked Fireballs and multipliers in Multiply LockNWin. With reels stretching to 6 symbols tall and 7,776 ways in play, the board can pay in several frames, even outside respins. Fireballs go up to 100x each, and the Orb Multiplier in the base game can hit 10x before reset. At €50 a spin, the ceiling translates to €250,000, though most sessions will orbit far below.

Cerberus Gold - Slot Verdict

I came for the three headed dog and stayed for the split grid and coin play. The trio of LockNWin modes feels smartly linked to the heads, and being able to pick single features or combos via Bonus Buy adds welcome control. It does sit in that hold and win lane, but the Spinning Reels and Collect plus Orb Multiplier give the base real purpose. The costs are fair, the look is slick, and the 5,000x cap is reasonable.
