GOING FOR GOLD™
About this machine
The Roulette jackpot side bet
These jackpot side bet winning chances add some extra thrill to the classic Roulette game! GOING FOR GOLD™ is a multi-level jackpot side bet, set up as a Local- or Wide-Area Progressive offer for all connected Roulette games. Additionally to their classic Roulette bets, players can also choose to buy and place a certain quantity of side bet tokens on the Roulette numbers of their choice, thus participating in the jackpot game. The winning number for the side bet is the same as for the traditional game.
Players can qualify in the initial Jackpot Journey game by buying the tokens and placing them on the layout.With each GOING FOR GOLD™-side bet on a winning number they qualify for the next jackpot level: Winning e.g. an IRON jackpot entitles the player to bet on the next jackpot level, BRONZE; winning that allows them to enter the SILVER jackpot game; and a SILVER jackpot grants access to the GOLD jackpot level.
The number of jackpot levels, denomination of the jackpot tokens and individual win values for the jackpot levels can be adjusted according to operator preferences in the menu settings. GOING FOR GOLD™ is available for all Roulette variants of the NOVOMATIC ETG offer based on NOVO LINE NOVO UNITY™ II.

What "GOING FOR GOLD™" actually refers to
NOVOMATIC sells the European way: a cabinet ships with a mix of dozens of titles behind one menu, and the operator licenses the pack rather than the individual game. So this entry is a game inside a mix, not a machine you will find standing alone on a floor.
That matters for payback. The theoretical return is configured per game per installation, and operators in most European jurisdictions choose from a set of approved percentages. Manufacturers ship the same title in multiple par versions — commonly spanning roughly 85% to 96% across the industry — and nothing on the machine tells you which one you are sitting at.
Numbers you find quoted for this title elsewhere are almost certainly from its online version, which is a separate product with its own certified maths and typically a higher published return.
Where to play
We don't yet have verified floor placements for this machine. Our casino cross-reference covers 442 properties, but only through IGT's public linked-progressive data — which doesn't reach NOVOMATIC titles. We would rather show nothing than guess.
