Inspired Gaming is an online slot game provider founded in 2002. The New York-based team has created some of the most popular online slot games to date and is becoming one of the most renowned providers in the industry. Here, we will look at some of the most popular games they have created, from the infamous Gold Cash Free Spins to the fiery Stacked Fire 7s.
Gold Cash-Free Spins
The sequel to the original Gold Cash slot, Gold Cash Free Spins, was released in 2020 and became one of Inspired Gaming’s most popular releases. Despite having somewhat dated graphics for the standard we are used to seeing now, the gameplay features steal the show for some of the best on the market with unique features such as the gambling mechanic and the spin chance. This game offers a lot of fun content with no complex features, such as flashing 3D graphics; this game personifies ‘less is more’.
The free spins feature is another bonus in the game that makes it stand out. If the free spins mode is activated, the player is granted 8 free spins. However, these are so lucrative that all the lower-value symbols are removed, meaning only the higher-value symbols remain alongside wilds. This offers the potential for matched combinations and is one of the main reasons for the game’s popularity.
Golden Winner
Golden Winner is one of Inspired Gaming’s most recent releases, launching in 2023. Golden Winner has been brought to the world of online slots after being a top performer in land-based slots. This game has the same success as the original slot, with players playing it for its free spins and exciting fortune spins.
Utilising the iconic fruit theme, the game also features abundant gold, with some fruits even becoming gold. The game also utilises some great bonuses in classic Inspired Gaming fashion, as they are known for creating captivating bonuses such as the previously mentioned fortune spins; this bonus removes all the regular symbols, leaving only blanks, cherries, wilds, and scatters on the grid.
Don’t forget about the fortune bet as well! Players can activate this before a spin, and it changes all scatter symbols into large golden bars that can appear fully or partially on the reels. These bets double your chances of activating a free game. However, the stake must be increased by 50%; these options make slots like Golden Winner exciting and enjoyable.
Stacked Fire 7s
Following the fruit theme, Stacked Fire 7s was released in 2020 and features classic fruit and slot symbols from watermelons to the letter 7. Like all the other games mentioned in this list, the theme and visuals are quite simple, with the main selling point being the exciting gameplay features and mechanics.
This Vegas-style slot offers a straightforward experience with bonus symbols granting free spins. The gamble feature takes place here, too, with the player having more options of what to do with the winnings; this feature is a real staple of Inspired Gaming games and features in most of their titles due to the popularity of the feature.
The slot also features wild symbol substitutes for all paying symbols, helping match combinations. The wild symbol will only appear in columns 2,3, and 4 in the base game and the bonus free spin round. The bonus symbol will only appear on reels 1,3 and 5 in the base game.
Bullion Bars Gold Collector
The only slot game on this list with a somewhat different theme to classic golden slots is still based around gold. Bullion Bars Gold Collector is based inside a bank vault, which is the most unique theme we have seen so far despite being a fairly common theme itself!
Published in 2023, this game is the sequel of the 2021 Bullion Bars Grab the Gold release, and the new release lives up to the expectations that Inspired Gaming has set. The visual graphics are improved, yet they are not flashy or insane, and the core gameplay mechanics of Inspired Gaming can be seen clearly with the gambling mechanic in play here, too.
The game uses classic symbols such as Jack, Queen and King yet also uses cash and bars of gold, which have become a staple in the Inspired Games catalogue; the golden bars in this game are valued, unlike other games mentioned on this list, meaning each spin may come up with completely different values, adding a new level of dynamism to the game.
