Secret City Gold (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Secret City Gold Slot Overview

I found Secret City Gold to be a high volatility 5x4 slot with 25 paylines, set in a humid Mesoamerican jungle. Stakes run from 0.25 to 125, with RTP models, the top being 96.06% on regular spins or 96.22% via the 85x bonus buy. The soundtrack kicks harder in free spins, and the visuals are crisp. The core mechanic is Shape Wins, which drops random patterns that can flip marked symbols and apply multipliers. It plays on mobile, tablet, and desktop without fuss.

Secret City Gold Slot Information

The low pays are 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying 0.4x to 1x for five of a kind. Premiums fit the theme: a blue frog, a purple monkey, a green lizard, and a red feline, with a gold coin showing a tongue as the top symbol. Five premiums pay 1.2x to 4x, while the wild, a green totem face, substitutes and also pays 8x for five. Wilds land on all reels and carry plenty of line value.

Scatters come as a grinning golden monkey on any reel. Land three, four, or five anywhere and you get eight free spins plus 2x, 10x, or 50x the bet up front. During the feature, every extra scatter adds one more spin to the tally. The paytable sticks to left-to-right wins, but Shape Wins can rate combos formed inside its marked area even when they do not start on reel one, which gives the screen some nice tactical wrinkles.

Secret City Gold Slot Features

Shape Wins fires at random after any regular win check. A pattern highlights positions and, when it shows, all marked symbols convert into one symbol that was already inside the shape. Those symbols then pay from left to right within the shape, and a random multiplier between x1 and x10 applies to the outcome. Because these wins use the pattern, lines can count even if they begin from the second or third reel, which keeps base game spins lively.

Free spins come from 3, 4, or 5 scatters and always start on eight spins, with the trigger paying 2x, 10x, or 50x respectively. In the bonus, the multiplier from the first Shape Win is collected into a general multiplier that then applies to all Shape Wins. It does not reset between spins, and in practice I’ve seen it climb by plus one for each subsequent Shape Win. Every scatter that lands adds one extra free spin.

There is a bonus buy for players outside restricted markets. It costs 85x the bet and jumps straight to a guaranteed trigger with at least three scatters in view. Buying the round shifts the RTP model to 96.22% on supported sites, which is the best available setting. If you prefer to spin it in, the standard configuration runs at 96.06% RTP, with other lower models offered in some places. Either route still carries the same 10,000x win cap.

Secret City Gold Slot Conclusion

Secret City Gold lands as a tidy effort with sharp visuals, a stirring soundtrack, and a familiar studio feel. Shape Wins adds a small twist, and the non-resetting multiplier in free spins can turn a round when patterns keep landing. The headline figures are right: 10,000x cap, high volatility, and RTP that varies by setting, so check the version. For me it’s a solid shelf filler; multiplier chasers will fancy it, while casual play can feel patchy between highlights.
