The latter pays out x4 your wager for 6 on a payline.
Gameplay
The wild is worth x20 your wager of 6, but only lands during the Golden Touch feature. This is triggered when you land a Hand of Gold on the reels; one of the symbols is selected at random and all instances of that symbol will transform into wilds.The free spins are activated when at least 3 bonus symbols land in view on a single spin, which gives you 10 free spins. As an added bonus, at least 1 Hand of Gold is guaranteed to land on the reels on each free spin, and the feature can be re-triggered by landing another 3 bonus symbols.
Verdict
Hand of Gold is an easy game to play with no complicated features. The top prize may seem a bit on the low side, but you can expect frequent payouts when the Golden Touch feature comes into play.
