Pragmatic Play · 2023
Gold Oasis is a high volatility 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with an Arabian theme. This page covers its figures, rounds, bonus modes and paid features.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Choose Gold Oasis if you want an Arabian-themed slot on a fixed 5x3 grid. The base game uses 243 ways to win, and a win needs at least three matching symbols. Wins pay from left to right, and matching positions need not touch. Symbol Duel can strike at random on the final screen: one paying symbol replaces 2 to 10 instances of another symbol before wins are checked.
Decide whether the Free Spins round matters to you. Three or more Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 start five free spins. In those spins, every symbol pays as a five-of-a-kind, however many form it. Each pair of Scatters collected in the round triggers a Symbol Duel. Symbol Collection is a listed feature, and Super Free Spins a separate mode.

Three modes, one grid
Settles when each mode starts, what changes inside it, and how the spins add up.
3+ SCATTER symbols on reels 1/3/5 award 5 free spins. Wins pay as a 5-of-a-kind. Every 2 SCATTERs collected triggers a Symbol Duel, opening one of two hidden special reels above the grid. The first 5 duels give +2 free spins, the next 5 give +1, max 10 duels.

Super Free Spins is a separate bonus mode of Gold Oasis, played apart from the Free Spins mode above. Its entry point and round rules are the ones the game shows when the mode opens, so read them on screen before you rely on them.

The base game runs on a fixed 5 reels x 3 rows grid with 243 ways to win. Wins pay left to right, including non-adjacent positions. A Symbol Duel can occur randomly: one paying symbol is chosen to replace 2-10 instances of another on the final screen, before wins count.

Know each payout
Vegasnow puts each step of a round in front of you before the first stake is placed.
Pick a stake from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the reels move. Wins scale with the stake, so the paytable on this page uses A$0.40.
Wins pay left to right across 243 ways, including non-adjacent positions. At least three matching symbols pay, and Symbol Duel can randomly occur before wins are counted.
The base game runs on a fixed 5x3 grid with three features: Scatter, Free Spins and Symbol Collection. Scatter is the symbol that opens the Free Spins.
Three or more Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 5 free spins. Every second Scatter collected in the round triggers a Symbol Duel that opens a hidden reel.
Set the amount you accept losing before the first spin, and stop once a session reaches it. Each spin is random, so no session length can be known in advance.
Learn Before Betting
After this section you will know how to test Gold Oasis and what the real game requires.
Players who want to test Gold Oasis can open the demo, which needs no money and pays nothing; real play needs an account and you must be 18+.
PlayDeciding how much to stake per session on Gold Oasis means accepting that you cannot know when the bonus round will come. Its frequency is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP version in use, so a strong run and a weak run can both happen at the same bet.
Deciding which RTP version to trust on Gold Oasis starts with the game rules, because they are the only place where Vegasnow Casino shows which version is running. Read them before your first stake. Then match the version named there with the figures in the RTP table on this page.
Treating the maximum win on Gold Oasis as a target means planning around a result that may stay out of reach for good. The maximum win is a ceiling, not an average return, and the game reaches it very rarely. Read it as the largest single payout the rules allow, and set your session budget before you start.
Four questions below
Four short answers on the return, the free spins, the bonus buy and the top win.
Gold Oasis has three RTP versions, 96.01, 96.04 and 96.06 percent. RTP is the share of staked money the game returns to players over a very long run, so no single session follows it. The table below shows each version in money on A$100 staked.
Three or more SCATTER symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the free spins round, which awards 5 free spins. Scatters on the other reels do not count toward the trigger. Every two SCATTERs collected during the round also trigger a Symbol Duel.
Gold Oasis offers two buy options: Free Spins at 100 times the bet and Super Free Spins at 200 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$0.50 that is A$50 and A$100. The price moves with the bet, so a lower bet lowers the cost.
The top win on Gold Oasis is x7,260 times the bet. Staked at A$0.50, that comes to A$3,630, and at the highest bet allowed here, A$240, it is A$1,742,400. Whether a session reaches that figure cannot be known in advance.
