Gold Digger

Get yourself a pair of sturdy boots, because we’re about to go deep into the heart of a mountain to look for gold! Of course you will need a pickaxe, some dynamite and a headlamp as well, but you won’t be alone in this adventure. 

Gold Digger pairs you with a funny-looking prospector, he will be your guide and companion as you go deeper and deeper into the mine in search of that big pile of gold you’ve been dreaming about. 

Theme

Gold Digger takes you into a real mine, the old-fashioned type in which the work was done with TNT, shovels and pickaxes. The prospector that accompanies you into the adventure is sitting right next to the reels, ready to detonate the dynamite but also helping with some other bonuses as well. 

There is some pleasant banjo music playing in the background, while the whole atmosphere that the game creates is pretty warm and cozy despite the action taking place in a mine. 

Betting Options and Functions

This slot has 5 reels and 3 rows, with the standard 20 paylines available. Winning combinations are, as you would expect, made of at least three matching symbols on a line, counting from the leftmost reel onwards.

The game has medium volatility and a theoretical return to player percentage of 96. The minimum bet you can place is just 20 cents per spin, while the maximum stake per spin is 20 euros. 

Features

Your mining adventure is bound to witness some interesting twists and turns when the special features kick in, let’s see what can happen: 

• Miner Random Bonuses

The miner that sits right next to the reels has an important role to play, during the game he can surprise you with some great random bonuses. For instance, he can throw dynamite at the reels and turn 3 to 5 symbols into Wilds, or throw his pickaxe and transform symbols into gold nuggets. 

Gus the miner can also push the detonator and set off an explosion that will upgrade various symbols on the reels. 

• Gold Link Respins

The shiny nuggets of gold are what every miner is looking for, and that is the case in this game as well. The Gold Nuggets symbols have cash prizes attached to them, but if you land five or more 5 that will trigger the Gold Link Respin feature, which gives you 3 respins. 

The Gold Nuggets symbols that triggered the feature lock into place for the respins, and any new nuggets tha land will reset the respin count back to 3. The reels will keep respinning until the count drops to zero or the whole board is filled with nuggets. 

Gems can also land during respins, and if you get three of the same kind you will be awarded some nice boosters like extra rows, increased nugget values, extra respins or multipliers. 

Conclusion

Gold Digger is a very enjoyable video slot from iSoftBet, it is very entertaining but also has a warm vibe to it. The base game can get a bit boring after a while, even though Gus the miner will spice things up from time to time with his random bonuses. 

Things will get really interesting in terms of prizes when you get to the Gold Link Respins, the maximum potential prize is a mouth-watering 8,230 times the stake! But get that pickaxe ready, there’s a lot of digging to do before reaching that treasure!
