Super Golf Drive

We’ve tried our fair share of sports slots over the years, and most of the time we’ve been disappointed. It’s tricky to incorporate whatever sport is depicted into the gameplay in a convincing and engaging way, it seems, but PG Soft has managed to do just that in Super Golf Drive. The game follows their usual recipe overall, but this mobile-friendly developer has a way of making it stand out as unique each time.

This time it’s the Mystery Symbols that steal the show, as they come with a golfer that swings her club to build the win multiplier per cascading sequence. The feature comes with neat animations and cute action commentary, and just a little effort like that goes a long way in a sports game like this. Of course, the multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and payouts up to 8,000x your stake was achieved in 1 billion simulated spins.

Super Golf Drive Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 15 and 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Asian female golfer is the top-tier symbol. The Wild comes in the form of a golden golf ball, and it steps in for all pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins. The wild holds no value of its own in this game, and it can land on reels 2 to 5 only. Symbols can occupy up to 3 positions in height, but they will always represent 1 symbol in win calculations.

Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, bar the random symbols that come with a red frame. If the red-framed symbols are involved in a win, they will turn into the golfer Mystery Symbol. All present mystery symbols add +1 to the Win Multiplier, and they also reveal the same randomly chosen pay symbol as the cascading sequence comes to an end.

You need at least 4 trophy scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 10 free spins and +2 additional spins on top of that per additional triggering scatters. Any multiplier you may have racked up on the triggering spin is carried over into the bonus round, where the multiplier never resets for as long as the feature lasts. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 4+ scatters in the same cascading sequence.

Review Summary

We have to admit that we weren’t super excited when we first laid eyes on Super Golf Drive, as many sports games just aren’t that well-made and fun in our experience. PG Soft has once again taken us by surprise, and they have managed to create a highly engaging slot with the golfing element neatly incorporated into the gameplay. The visuals are solid as usual, and you get some decent action commentary as well.

The mobile-friendly developer really does have a knack for making small tweaks count, and each release comes across as fresh and unique despite essentially following a similar recipe. The big innovation here is the golfer mystery symbols, and it’s fun when they all swing their clubs to increase the win multiplier. It can lead to solid payouts in all stages of the game, and not least when the multiplier only keeps building in the bonus round. Up to 8,000x your stake is possible, and the advertised max win matches what was achieved in 1B simulated spins in this release (which is not always the case with PG Soft).
