Gold Rush

Gold Rush by Pragmatic Play heads underground into an American gold mine, with wooden reels, a miner, a horse and a cart loaded with gold setting the scene. The game uses 25 paylines and high volatility, so it suits players who are comfortable waiting for bigger payouts rather than collecting small ones.

The free spins carry a progression system. Three tunnel scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 10 free spins, and each further scatter adds two more. During the round, every gold nugget that lands earns a point, and the points total moves the player through four levels, each with its own reel set for the next spins. Dynamite wilds help complete lines along the way. Stakes run from €0.25 to €125, the RTP is 96.5% and the top win is €20,150. No gamble option is included.

The miner is the top symbol, paying up to 2,500 coins for five on a line. The gold-filled cart, horse, lantern, shovel and pickaxe complete the premium set, with payouts from 100 coins upwards. The A, K, Q, J and 10 card ranks make up the lower tier, paying from 25 to 375 coins. Three matching symbols on a line are the minimum for a win.

• Wild: dynamite substitutes for every symbol except the scatter and the gold nugget.
• Scatter: a mine tunnel on reels 2, 3 and 4; three award 10 free spins.
• Extra spins: each scatter during the round adds 2 free spins.
• Levels: each nugget is worth 1 point, and points advance you through 4 levels with different reel sets.
