There is a new online slot at Rushmore Casino called Golden Lotus. If you’re like me, you probably thought to yourself what in the world is a golden lotus? Isn’t lotus a yoga position? Yes, it is, and an extremely painful one that that. Of course, I think getting into any yoga position can be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Even if you don’t think it’s cruel, it’s certainly unusual. It turns out, though, that the yoga position of lotus is named after an aquatic plant that grows in Asia. Now I bet you know what the theme of this slot is.

Golden Lotus is a game set in a Chinese garden, with lotus plants, ornate vases, Chinese lanterns, dragons and geishas appearing as symbols. The background shows botanical scenery as well as Chinese architecture. The game is a 5-reel, 25-payline online slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $.01 to $5 per line.

There are a number of bonus rounds, including the Chinese Garden Feature, where you are taken to a garden with 8 golden lotuses floating in the pond. You then pick 4 of the lotuses and get whatever secret bonus accompanies them. Those bonuses can be a multiplier that triggers up to 100x the bet or up to 20 free spins.

The Golden Lotus online slot has both a major jackpot and a minor jackpot. The graphics are crisp but have a cartoonish feel rather than seeming realistic. While playing the game, unless you mute it you will be treated with or bothered by Chinese music, depending on your point of view. I liked the music myself and thought it added to the atmosphere. It wasn’t as good as the Memoirs of a Geisha score, but it will do.

Golden Lotus is a break from the slot themes of superheroes, fighters, sports or other exciting, male-centered subjects. Instead, it embraces the simplicity and beauty in the Chinese culture and landscape. If that kind of thing suits you, this online slot could be what you’re looking for.
