Once you enter the mine, it quickly becomes dark and cold. It can be difficult overcoming the fear, but think about the riches you might find, and you will feel much better. Such an approach worked for me.
Despite taking place underground, the scenery is surprisingly colourful. The reels are surrounded by rocks and populated with neatly designed symbols that perfectly match the slot’s theme. No time for a smoko; let’s continue exploring this fantastic game.
The usual selection of playing cards serves as lows, followed by shovels, lanterns, bags of gold, and mining carts. The donkey is the slot’s Wild, while the rest of the icons I encountered included Scatters, Money, and Collect symbols.
Each of these plays a vital part in the game, which I will discuss later in the review.
Grab the Gold! uses a grid setup consisting of 5 reels and 4 rows, with 20 fixed paylines. All paying symbols require at least 3 to award a cash prize. All low-value icons pay 2.5x the bet for 5-of-a-kind combos, while the highest-paying regular will award 15x the stake for 5 across a payline.
Volatility is high, so don’t expect any frequent payouts. Well, even if you do expect them, you won’t get any. Trust me, I was there. However, winnings can be quite significant and definitely worth waiting for. The game’s RTP is 95.71%. A stake of $0.20 is enough to spin the reels, with $27 being the maximum amount of money you can wager per spin.
The mine hides numerous riches, and it is up to you to uncover them. To help you understand what awaits you, let me take you on a tiki tour of the slot’s extra features.
Wild symbols appear anywhere on the grid, replacing all regulars to help you create more winning combinations. They are pretty straightforward, and unlike in some other pokies, they don’t do anything outside the box.
As their name suggests, these icons collect all Money symbols that appear on the board. One Collect gets only one Money icon at a time. Luckily, several Collect symbols can land on the reels to collect all Money symbols.
Mystery symbols have the power to turn into Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand symbols and award a fixed jackpot prize. Keep in mind that won’t happen often, and to make things even more difficult, the process requires a Collect symbol to be present as well.
There are 4 jackpots to be won: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, worth 20x, 50x, 100x, and 500x the bet, respectively.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters unlocks Free Spins, awarding 10, 12, or 15 free games, respectively. Another 3 or more Scatters hitting the grid while the round is active will retrigger it.
Collect symbols can sometimes appear at random, although their only role is to boost the feature’s win potential further.
When Money symbols appear alone on the grid, random reels may respin to help land Collect symbols. On the other hand, if Collect symbols land alone, a random number of Money symbols may be added to the grid.
Collect symbols bring a progress bar, providing 10 additional symbols and a multiplier whenever a new level is reached.
This feature is available in the base game only. The more Scatters appear on the reel, the bigger are the chances of unlocking it. The game layout slightly changes, with gold nuggets rolling across the screen.
The first thing that caught my attention was the high quality of the slot’s visuals. Grab the Gold! has a premium look and feel that will instantly immerse you. The cash collection mechanics work like a charm and, more importantly, increase the odds of scoring bigger wins.
The four fixed jackpots on offer serve as an additional incentive. Who would say no to more payouts?
There is so much going on in the Free Spins round. Collect and Money symbols work their magic, while winning more spins shouldn’t be that hard.
When it comes to pitfalls, high volatility will undoubtedly discourage less experienced players from spinning the reels. I advise you not to miss out on the action, as Grab the Gold! has so much to offer. On the other hand, limited betting options won’t appeal to high rollers, but I guess that most of them won’t mind it. Hence, I rate it 7.9.
