Usually players look for new games to play at the beginning of the New Year, but the four Microgaming online slot games of the Golden Goose series are highly recommended. These video slots are Crazy Chameleons, Genies Gems, Winning Wizards and Totem Treasure. They offer an identical set of bonus games that revolve around a goose and golden eggs. However, each game has its independent theme and symbols.

The Golden Goose slots were among the first to offer access to bonus games for an extra wager. You have to click on the Golden Goose Bet button, which activates the maximum number of paylines with maximum number of coins per payline, and also places a side bet of additional five coins per payline. Then the Golden Goose may appear after any spin and randomly activate one of the four bonus games.

The first bonus game is titled Golden Reels. The Golden Goose lays golden eggs on the second screen and you have select eggs and win bonus credits. The second bonus game is titled Golden Egg. This time the Golden Goose lays a single golden egg, which automatically reveals the bonus credits awarded. The third bonus game is the Money or the Egg. The Golden Goose offers you a choice between a pile of money and a golden egg. The pile of money will award bonus credits and the golden egg will award a number of free spins. The last bonus game is titled Golden Card. The Golden Goose displays a number of cards on the second screen for you to choose from. The selected card will award you a number of free spins and a multiplier for the payouts in those free spins.

Crazy Chameleons has a beach theme with symbols like the sun, surf boards, gulls, beach shorts and sun tan lotion, with the chameleon being the wild symbol. Genie's Gems will take you to an Arabian Nights scene. The symbols include minaret, magic lamp, magic carpet and scimitar. The genie is the wild symbol and it triples payouts when it appears in winning combinations. Totem Treasure portrays American Indian culture. There you will encounter symbols like squaw, eagle, tepee, pipe and drum. The squaw acts as the wild symbol and doubles payouts. You will enter the world of magic with Winning Wizards. The symbols are wizard's staff, spell book, magic potion and ring. The wizard is the wild symbol.
