Alchemy Gaming has had some success with their game Aquanauts, and now they have released a similar game called Amazon – Lost Gold. However, Amazon – Lost Gold is a watered-down version of Aquanauts, with the removal of certain features and a reduced maximum win. Despite this, the game has appealing visuals. The Echo Rolls feature, although less impactful now, still offers decent wins. The bonus round also includes upgrades from a wheel, just like in Aquanauts. The premium animal symbols offer decent payouts, and the Wild symbol helps complete winning combinations. The Rolling Reels mechanic removes winning symbols and replaces them for as long as there are wins. The Echo Rolls feature can trigger randomly after a win, guaranteeing another win with additional symbols. In the bonus round, the Echo Rolls feature can be enhanced to only include wilds or premium symbols. To trigger the bonus round, you need three scatters, which also give you eight free spins. The Bonus Wheel at the start of the round determines the win multiplier, which increases with each Rolling Reels win. The Upsizer feature allows players in certain jurisdictions to upgrade the bonus round, but it is not available in the UK. The Buy Bonus feature is also available in some jurisdictions but not in the UK. It allows players to purchase the Bonus Wheel spin for a set price. The highlights video shows that the base game is uneventful, and the real action starts in the bonus round. Overall, Amazon – Lost Gold is very similar to Aquanauts but with a lower potential. The visuals are modern, and the gameplay is decent. However, if you have already played Aquanauts, there is nothing new to see here. The bonus round can be exciting, especially with the incrementing win multiplier. The Upsizer feature may be tempting, but there are other games where you don’t have to pay for extras. In conclusion, there is no reason to choose Amazon – Lost Gold over Aquanauts, unless you prefer a more common theme and a lower potential. Pros: decent visuals, potential for wins in the bonus round. Cons: watered-down version of Aquanauts, nothing new for players who have tried the original game.
