CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

Gold Oasis offers a new bonus mechanic with dueling symbols that can provide both excitement and big wins. There maybe a bit of a novelty factor here which may wear off after 10 or so bonus rounds.

That said, the game is polished, has a coherent theme, and offers a max win that should please most slot players, earning it a solid 3 star-rating.
