THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards, from 10 through to Ace. These symbols can provide wins from x0.5 to x2 the player’s stake, depending on the number of paying combinations that land on a single spin.
Meanwhile, drunks, miners, businessmen and women depict the high value symbols, offering between x1 and x20 the player’s bet.
Free spins minecart symbols can appear on all reels, triggering 10, 15 or 20 free spins when three, four or five land on the same turn, respectively.
Golden nugget prize symbols can also appear, displaying prize amounts that range from x2 to x500 the player’s wager. These symbols can also provide wins for payline combinations, offering between x0.5 and x2 the player’s stake.
Finally, wild prospectors can drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than mine carts and golden nuggets. However, each wild symbol that appears will collect all prize values displayed on any present golden nuggets.
THE DETAILS
On random base game spins, a saloon door can open above the reels to reveal a random paytable symbol. Each version of this symbol that appears across the reels will then transform into a wild symbol to increase the win potential.
In the free spins game mode, landing a certain number of wild symbols will cause the feature to upgrade as follows:
- Three wilds awards five additional spins with a x3 multiplier for all golden nugget collections
- Seven wilds awards another five spins with a x5 multiplier
- 11 wilds awards the final upgrade with five additional spins and a x20 multiplier
Players can buy access to the free spins game mode for the price of x80 their stake.
