The Gold Rush has been a popular theme for slot games for a long time now, which makes it a challenge for any new game that is released to stand out against its direct rivals.
That’s the struggle that faces Pragmatic Play’s newest release, which is simply called Gold Rush. Sharing its name with a NetEnt slot means this game has to work even harder to feel unique. So, can it manage?
About the slot
With five reels and 25 fixed paylines, Gold Rush is an attractive enough slot, but has nothing particularly special in terms of its design.
Set within a mine, with a donkey, mining tools, and a prospector appearing on the reels alongside the traditional low value playing card symbols, the colours are bold and pleasant, but there really isn’t much to get excited about aesthetically.
The wild symbol is represented by sticks of dynamite and replaces for all but the scatter symbol (which is a tunnel) in order to help form winning combinations.
Gameplay
Land three of the aforementioned scatter symbols and you will enter the Free Spins feature, which gives you ten free spins, with each scatter that lands during the feature offering an extra spin.
The gold nugget symbols are useful here, as collecting them throughout the feature will add more prospector symbols to the reels, as the highest value symbol, this will increase your chances of big wins. You get seven extra prospectors for up to four nuggets collected, while collected more than 15 with give you 29 additional prospector symbols, which can lead to some huge wins if you’re lucky.
This isn’t the most complex slot, but the Free Spins feature is an interesting one and can be profitable, so Pragmatic Play’s Gold Rush is worth taking a look at.
