Rival Software, creators of many an interesting online slot, gets serious kudos from the Os Man for their latest production entitled Gobbler’s Gold. Themed on Thanksgiving and thus slightly early for release, this one features a gorgeous look and serious high potential wins.

Nicely done in autumnal colors, symbols in Gobbler’s Gold include the traditional cornucopia, corn, pumpkin, a bearded pilgrim with gun (!) and a WILD turkey (the fowl, not the whiskey, silly). An excellent effect is produced with the multi-colored leaves that fall on either side of the screen as the reels spin: It’s slightly more understated than the similarly-designed ladybugs crawling all over the spinning action as in Travel Bug, but just as impressive.

And what was that the Os Man was saying about “serious high potential wins”? Check out those SCATTERing pilgrims first of all: Not only do three of these puritans result in ten bonus spins, but the wins on these spins come with a 3x bonus multiplier. Three or more Mayflower symbols, meanwhile, trigger the pumpkin patch bonus game, a positive corker of a coffer-pumper.

Proclaims the game at the bonus round outset: “The Turkeys are in the pumpkin patch again!” Simply click on one of 15 pumpkins to find a turkey; choosing an “empty” pumpkin merely gets you another chance (no losers here). Actually finding a turkey earns crazy amounts of coinage. The Os Man managed to bag the 30,000-coin bird, thereby turning a $10 spin into a whopping $1,500!

Tell you what the Os Man’ll be giving thanks for when it comes time for his turn at the table: Those hardworking folks at Rival Software and Gobbler’s Gold, the best online slot to come down the pike in a couple of months. Definitely not a turkey. LCD rating: 9/10.
