Technical

Gold Blitz is played on a 6-reel, 4-row layout with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. Wild symbols substitute for regular paying symbols to complete winning combos.

The slot is available on desktop and mobile devices, with bets ranging from 20p to £50 per spin. Gold Blitz is highly volatile with an average RTP of 96%, and a max win of 5,000x the bet. The slot features Wild Multipliers, Free Spins and a Hold & Win round.

Design and symbols

Gold Blitz adopts the classic slot style with modern graphics. The reels sit against a dark backdrop illuminated by flashes of blue lightning, while gold bars and cash prizes reinforce the highly volatile theme.

The lower-paying symbols are the card royals, 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. Five matching symbols award between 1x and 1.5x the bet.

The premium symbols draw inspiration from a traditional fruit machine. They include a horseshoe, a bell, coins, a gold bar, and a dollar sign. Five matching premium symbols award between 2x and 5x the bet.

The Wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. A red orb acts as the Scatter and triggers the different bonus features.

Cash and Jackpot symbols also appear on the reels. These are collected whenever a Collect symbol, represented by a lightning bolt, lands during the Hold & Win feature.

Features

Gold Blitz expands on the base game with a set of bonus features. The game includes the Wild, Scatter and Collect symbols, Cash & Jackpot Prizes, Free Spins, Gold Blitz and the Bonus Buy. Each feature is explained in more detail below.

Wild Symbol

The Wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. It does not replace the Scatter, Collect, Cash or Jackpot symbols.

Scatter Symbol

Landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers the bonus selection screen. Players can then choose between the Free Spins feature or Gold Blitz.

Collect Symbol

If a Collect symbol lands, all the Cash and Jackpot symbols on the reels are collected. The combined value is then awarded.

Cash & Jackpot Prizes

There are two types of Cash & Jackpot prizes in Gold Blitz. Cash symbols award the cash value displayed, while Jackpot symbols can award one of three fixed jackpots:

MINOR = 25x the bet

MAJOR = 250x the bet

MEGA = 2,500x the bet

All Cash and Jackpot prizes are collected by landing a Collect symbol.

Bonus Choice

Landing three or more Scatter symbols awards the Bonus Choice feature. As more Scatter symbols land, both the payout and the number of bonus spins increase.

3 Scatters – 1x the bet and a choice of 8 Free Spins or 2 Gold Blitz spins

4 Scatters – 2x the bet and a choice of 12 Free Spins or 3 Gold Blitz spins

5 Scatters – 3x the bet and a choice of 20 Free Spins or 5 Gold Blitz spins

6 Scatters – 5x the bet and a choice of 30 Free Spins or 7 Gold Blitz spins

Free Spins

Landing three Scatter symbols gives you the choice of the Free Spins feature or Gold Blitz. Selecting Free Spins awards eight Free Spins, while additional Scatters award extra Free Spins.

During the feature, a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier is randomly applied to each Wild in a winning combination. Landing two, three, four, five or six Scatters awards an extra five, 8, 12, 20 or 30 Free Spins, respectively.

Gold Blitz

Gold Blitz is the alternative bonus feature that can be selected after landing three Scatter symbols. Choosing this option awards two Gold Blitz spins, while additional Scatters increase the number of spins awarded.

Unlike the Free Spins feature, every Gold Blitz spin includes at least one Collect symbol. Only Collect, Cash and Jackpot symbols appear during the feature, ensuring every spin awards a prize.

Bonus Buy

The Bonus Buy allows players to purchase access to the Bonus Choice feature. Three purchase options are available:

75x the bet = Guarantees 4 or more Scatter symbols

120x the bet = Guarantees 5 or more Scatter symbols

150x the bet = Guarantees 6 Scatter symbols

The Bonus Buy is not available to UK players.

Verdict

Gold Blitz remains one of Games Global’s most popular slot releases to date. Rather than relying on a single bonus round, it gives players the choice between two very different features, adding more variety than many traditional online slots.

The combination of Cash and Jackpot prizes, collect symbols and the Bonus Choice creates plenty of opportunities throughout the base game and bonus features. A maximum win of 5,000x the bet and three fixed jackpots add further appeal, while the introduction of Gold Blitz Extreme and many other themed releases highlights the success of the original game.

If you’re looking for a modern slot that builds on classic fruit machine mechanics, Gold Blitz is a perfect example. The straightforward gameplay, multiple bonus features and enduring popularity have made it one of Games Global’s standout releases.
