Game Symbols
The theme of the game is centered around a rail track running through a mine glittering with gold. Timber supports and a classic lantern lend themselves well to the immersive atmosphere of the game.
As with most slots, you’re presented with the standard face cards and aces. The faces and Aces are not your goal symbols; they don't pay out all that much. But luckily, there are game-specific symbols that do!
Jacks reward you with 1.25x your stake, while Aces and Lanterns are in the middle of the paytable and will award you from 4x to 7.5x for a full row. The symbol you want is the Old Miner himself. He hands out a whopping 25x your stake for a full row in the base game.
If you hit a few empty gold veins, the Old Miner will chuck a few tools onto the screen to help you out.
- The stick of dynamite will transform 3 to 5 symbols into wilds
- The pick will hit random symbols and turn them into gold nuggets
- The detonator will upgrade symbols in value when it explodes
Five or more gold nuggets will trigger the free spins bonus round.
Bonus Rounds & Free Spins
Digging up 5 or more gold nugget symbols triggers the free spins scatter. You’ll be taken deeper into the mine to collect four different gems that each have a unique function:
- Three blue gems reveal 3 additional rows
- Three green gems increase the value of gold nuggets
- Three red gems get you an extra re-spin
- Three purple gems trigger a multiplier of up to 10x
