How does Gold ‘N’ Rocks slot work?
- Any cluster of 3+ symbols will trigger the tumbling reels.
- Once the winning combo has vanished, 1 Wild will be placed on the empty place, a new ‘underground’ tunnel will open (new line on the grid), plus all the remaining symbols will tumble down.
- No new symbols will drop till the end of the current cascading wave.
- Presumably, new combos are formed, and the upper part of the grid becomes empty.
- The process of paying out the winning clusters and awarding 1 Wild on the old winning place repeats till no more combos can be formed or the grid gets its maximum form of 5×10.
- During one cascading wave, you will collect points according to the below (chart) system.
(No need to memorize this; the slot calculates your points and shows the approximate progress on the mine meter (left of the grid).
- There are six modifiers/features – random Wilds and Multipliers, awarded during the base game and the Bonus. They certainly make the game thrilling and profitable.
- The grid can extend up to 10 symbols high, i.e. the topmost payouts are for 10OAK.
- All the symbols pay from 1000x to 500x the total bet for 10OAK, which already says how frequent that can happen. While the smallest combos of 3OAK for all the icons deliver between 1x and 0.2x the bet.
- All the extra Wilds are crucial to secure an unbroken chain of winning combos.
Bonus Features
- Wilds – Cactus on a sundown background is the Wild card. It replaces all symbols but Scatters. The top-earning icon on the paytable provides between 0.10x (for 2OAK) to 1000x the bet (for 10OAK).
- Scatters – 3 dynamite sticks (Scatters) are initiating the Bonus.
- Free spins – The Bonus consists of 8 rounds with a chance for a re-trigger. During the Bonus, each extra dynamite will grant +1 round. The FS Bonus payouts are similar to the base game’s (again via point system) but with higher Multipliers (check the chart above).
