Black River Gold

A game set during the gold rushes is as good a theme for slots as any. Elk Studio itself is pretty known from their historical themes, which are always of superb quality, so you don’t have to worry about whether you like the graphics, sounds and the like, you surely will.

But what about features and wins? Will those be fitting for you?

With over 2000 ways to win, you are in for some special gaming. Certainly, there’s gold to be had at these reels!

Theme and Symbols

Set in the final years of the gold rush, you’ll find the last outlaws, miners, gamblers and cowboys on these reels. Gold nuggets and diamonds as well as playing cards play their role in a somewhat familiar manner.

The sound effects perfect the setting and atmosphere. Animations come in form of effects whenever you clear a win of the screen. The game looks neat on smaller and bigger screens alike.

Betting Options and Functions

The game opens with a setup that offers 6 reels of the 4 symbols each. As the game progresses, each of the reels, or columns if you like, can receive more symbols, the maximum being nine.

The game uses ways to win system, which means that adjacent symbols on different reels automatically create winning combinations. Each round starts with 4096 ways to win.

What about the wins then? Since the maximum number of winning ways is 262 144, the average win is quite small. It’s the number of combinations that matters more...still, a single six symbol combo can pay up to three times your total bet, and the smaller wins often return even pay as well.

The game also comes with all sorts of settings, including different automatic betting strategies familiar from other Elk Studios slots.

Features

Where to start?

The wild compass is a special symbol, which can connect to matching symbols and make them wilds. The game also comes with mega symbols, of which one is revolver capable of absorbing other symbols...absorb six, and it transforms into a giant wild!

What else? Avalanches fo course! It’s no use having tons of symbols if they don’t fall away to give space for new symbols and new winning combinations. There are also avalanche free drops, which comes with wilds that stack in the bottom, and remain there until they are part of a winning combination.

Our Take

Elk Studios delivers quality games, and this is no exception. If you are looking for cascades of wins, thousands upon thousands of ways to win and super bonus features, then this is a slot for you. Get ready to win big as those avalanches drop big symbols on the reels round after round.
