THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols are represented by the high end of a deck of cards, from 10 through to Ace. These symbols can offer between x0.2 and x1.5 the player’s bet, depending on the number of winning combinations that land on a single spin.
Pickaxes, lanterns, helmets and gold pouches depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.5 and x3 the player’s preferred stake.
High value symbols come in the form of prospectors. If the right number of paying combinations appear on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x0.5 and x4 the player’s wager.
Dynamite wild sticks can also drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the mine cart scatter.
Moreover, landing minecart symbols on the reels can reveal one of many bonus features, most of which involve a trail bonus game that surrounds the reel set.
THE DETAILS
Throughout the base game, the reels are surrounded by a trail bonus game mode. At the bottom of the screen at the start of the game, a minecart sits in the lowest position on the trail.
Landing minecart scatter symbols on the reel set can move this minecart into different positions, but only if the minecart reveals an arrow. This arrow will reveal how many spaces the minecart will move while stating the direction it will move in.
Each position on the trail displays a multiplied bet amount. If a minecart symbol appears and reveals a pile of gold, then the player will receive the multiplied bet amount that the minecart game piece is positioned over.
If the minecart reveals that it is empty, players will be taken back to the lowest position on the trail. If it reveals a set of tools, a cash prize will be awarded.
Meanwhile, the minecart can reveal a Dream Drop symbol that takes players to the bonus jackpot game mode. In this game mode, players must spin a reel to reveal an arrow that moves the player around a new game board with jackpot prizes displayed around it.
When players reveal a jackpot prize, after spinning the jackpot reel, instead of an arrow, they will return to the base game after being awarded that respective jackpot prize amount. Jackpot prizes include rapid, midi, maxi, major and mega values that use progressive values.
Back to the base game, the minecart scatters can also reveal a bunch of rubies, awarding players 10 free spins. During these free spins, all ‘free spins’ and ‘Dream Drop’ squares on the trail will award extra free spins, with either five or 10 additional spins available.
Finally, minecart scatters can reveal mystery prizes. When this occurs, players must select from three green gemstones that contain hidden prizes, hoping to select the most profitable value.
