- 4ThePlayer releases 8K Ultra Gold Ultimate slot
- Betting range from $/€0.10 – $/€30
- Max win of 12,000x
4ThePlayer has doubled down on glitz and gameplay with “8K Ultra Gold Ultimate“, the new entry in its Money Ways series.
Following the 2024 release of “4K Ultra Gold“, the studio’s upgrade introduces more intensity ad visual effects, as well as a few notable changes.
Highlights include swapping free spins for respins, expanding the Boosting Fortunes prizes, and introducing a fresh twist on the slot’s overall mechanics.
Visually, the game might not appeal to all players who are not particular fans of flashy graphic elements.
It’s bright, brash, and filled to the brim with gold-rimmed elements, oversized buttons, and eight Boosting Fortunes prizes crowding the edges of the 6×4 grid.
The new slot plays out over 4,096 ways to win, with medium-high volatility and an RTP maxing out at 94%. Bets range from 10 cents to $/€30, keeping things accessible for most bankrolls.
Symbols include classic casino icons like bells, dice, horseshoes, gold bars, and dollar signs. Low-paying royals (10 to A) sit at the bottom, with premium symbols paying up to 5x your stake for six matches.
Wilds appear on all reels except the first, and they can substitute for both regular symbols and Cash Prize symbols (though they carry no value when doing so).
Special Features
The game is bursting of special features ready to be explored, including Money Ways, where cash values (0.5x to 200x) pay when they land on adjacent reels, Collect symbols, which scoop up visible Cash Prizes from the reels, and Bonus Choice, which lets players pick between Collect Spins, Respins, or a random bonus.
Plus, I also came across a Boosting Fortunes feature that offers eight jackpot-style rewards up to 10,000x and dedicated feature buys, where you can trigger bonus rounds directly for a fee.
The Respins feature is especially engaging, as it allows players to collect keys to unlock reels and increase multipliers, with locked Cash Prize symbols boosting values further as reels fill up.
Then there’s the Fortune Bonus, where a 3×3 grid spin can land up to three matching Fortune Prizes in one go. These range from 5x to 10,000x and reset once won.
While 4K Ultra Gold didn’t wow critics last year, its “super successful” performance with players means there’s already buzz around this follow-up.
Flashy, fast, and full of features, 8K Ultra Gold Ultimate is clearly designed to turn heads and keep the reels spinning.
