Gold Rush, transports players to the peak of the American gold rush – a time of prospectors, packhorses, and pickaxes, when one miner striking it lucky led to hundreds of families migrating across the foothills in search of their fortune.
Set against the wilds of the American west, Gold Rush pairs theme-appropriate symbols like the miner’s lamp and minecart with the twang of steel-string guitars. A lit bundle of dynamite, its fuse dwindling, is wild; while the grizzled prospector, testing a nugget with his teeth, is the highest-paying symbol, and appears stacked on all reels.
Gold Rush is designed to remind players of land-based classics, with uncomplicated central mechanics that soon reveal exciting bonus features. Built around the new concept of progressive free spins, uncovering a gold nugget in Gold Rush starts players on a journey from Level 1 to Level 4, with more lucrative prospectors rushing to the reels with every level earned. During free spins, every scatter symbol (an inviting mine entrance) awards 2 further free spins, and the length of any given free spins round is effectively limitless.
Once players hit Level 4, the gold rush reaches fever pitch, and the game’s musical score changes dynamically, increasing in intensity as the free spins mount.
