Winter Gold lets players join the Olympics and win! (video)

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be kicking off in Vancouver, Canada on February 12, marking the beginning of two straight weeks of ski competitions, bobsled races, and other winter sports excitement.

While participants battle for the gold the icy lands of the great white north, everyone else will sit comfortably at home watching the action unfold.

Now there’s a new way to join in on the excitement – the Winter Gold video slot from Microgaming. All the biggest Winter Olympic events show up on the reels, including speed skating, ski jumping, biathlon, and more. The Winter Gold logo is wild, and comes with a normal payline multiplier as high as 5000x.

No symbols compare to the Gold Metal though – not only does it pay out big, it can also launch the game’s Bonus Reel, where players can win up to 20 free spins, and get payouts as high as 18,000 coins!
