Golden Goddess Slot

Ethereal music, a handsome prince, a red rose, a pink Pegasus, snow-white doves… and a Golden Goddess of course, with delectably bouncy golden curls. The game, designed by IGT and High 5 games, is magical, a bit Disney, very romantic and a little bit bijou (in a good way of course). You may have seen this slot on the video terminals and FOBTs of casinos and shop, now get acquainted with the Mount Olympus soap opera from the comfort of your very own chaise lounge.

Golden Goddess Slot Background

The slot never states definitively who the Golden Goddess is, but given the Mount Olympus vista and the acropolis-like building at the peak where the twelve Olympian gods lived, it’s pretty safe to assume she’s Greek. So, given that, who are the real contenders for Golden Goddess?

• Athena – Goddess of War. Known as Minerva in Roman mythology. A fighter and goddess of heroism. Patron of Athens. A virgin Goddess a bit too sensual?

• Artemis – Goddess of the moon, hills and the hunt. Diana in Roman mythology. Daughter of Demeter and sister of Apollo. As a goddess, she was associated with womanhood. Goddess an archetypal feminist?

• Aphrodite – Goddess of love, beauty and fertility. Venus in Roman mythology. The other gods often thought that her beauty would cause division and conflict in ancient Greece. Golden Goddess the original beauty queen?

• Hera – Queen of the Olympian Gods. Juno in Roman mythology. Married to Zeus and wildly jealous and vengeful against his co-lovers and anyone she came across in general. Not quite goddess material you would think…

• Demeter – Queen of the harvest and the cycle of life and death (big job). Ceres in Roman mythology. “Sito” – Queen of the Grain. Also a big job, but not quite famous enough to be the Golden Goddess?

Conclusion: rather than speculating further, perhaps we should think of the Golden Goddess as more of an amalgam, or Frankenstein’s monster, of all of them. Aphrodite’s beauty, Artemis’s womanliness, Athena’s bravery, Hera’s explosive temper… so there’s no real sign of that. Either way, it’s a slot machine that plays on our fascination with ancient gods and our notions of mystery, power and sexuality.
