Belatra releases alchemical adventure Make it Gold
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has crafted an intriguing alchemical adventure slot titled Make it Gold.
The first release of 2025 is a captivating and visually stunning slot that welcomes players into the mysterious world of alchemy on a quest for the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. Set within an alchemist’s laboratory, the game’s key feature is the cascading reels where winning combinations vanish, allowing new symbols to drop and fill the spaces. This mechanic enables consecutive wins from a single spin, adding excitement and boosting the potential for substantial payouts, while keeping gameplay dynamic and engaging.
The Magic Flask plays a central role in this alchemical adventure, helping to generate substantial winnings during Free Games. The Energy Meter starts at 0 and fills up gradually as players win in the base game, with energy also accumulating through Giant symbols, Gold Blocks, and Scatter symbols. Once the Flask is full, it unlocks Free Games in Hot Mode, providing even more chances for big rewards. The Flask is not just a vessel; it is key to unlocking the transformative power of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Another impressive feature is the Gold Blocks, which appear in various sizes (2×1, 3×1, 4×1) and multiply winnings by 5x when part of a winning combination. If a Gold Block remains unplayed, it drops to the bottom, triggering Wild Chains that create additional wins. This dynamic feature adds excitement and unpredictability to every spin.
The Wild Multiplier in the base game, and at the beginning of the cycle of standard Free Games, is one. Four Scatter bonus symbols will reward players with eight free games, five Scatters will return 10 free games, and six Scatters will give 12 free games. Once in Free Games, the Wild Multiplier increases with each new Wild Chain played, and there is no cap on how high the multiplier can reach. Gold Blocks are also generated during Free Games, and they can freeze in place, staying on the reels for multiple spins to increase the chances of big wins.
Giant symbols have the power to push through symbols to create huge potentials for wins when they appear on screen.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Make It Gold is a captivating blend of immersive gameplay, remarkable visuals, and an awesome alchemical theme. A wealth of features ensures this title is no ordinary game, but a golden gem with the power to create priceless returns.”
