Symbols and Bonus Features

Wild Gold

The wild gold symbol appears in the base game and during re-spins. In addition to wild payouts, this symbol also substitutes for other symbols. The wild gold symbols substitutes for all symbols other than the drill, the carts, and the hardhat. In the base game, the wild gold symbol can be seen on reels 2, 3, and 4. During re-spins, this symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Wild Train Feature

This feature appears during the base game. It is the main special feature in the Goldstruck slot game. When the drill piece, two cart symbols and the wild gold symbols appear on the reels at the same time, they trigger the Wild Train Feature. After the game awards any winnings, the feature begins. Whenever the drill symbol overlaps with either a wild gold symbol or a hardhat symbol, it collects them. The drill and carts follow the path formed by the symbols, collecting each one when it reaches them, forming a digging trail on the reels.

The gold symbols increase the length of the digging trail while the hardhats add miner symbols onto the reels. For each hardhat, three to seven miners are added randomly to the reels, however, they are not added anywhere on the carts and drill symbols.

Free Re-Spins

When the digging trail ends, and all the wild gold symbols and hardhats have been collected, the game awards layers with a free re-spin. During this spin, the drill and cart symbols remain locked in their positions. The re-spins continue until either there is no wild gold or hardhat on the reels or until the free games bonus feature triggers.The drill, carts, and hardhat symbols are wild. They can substitute for all symbols other than the wild gold symbol. These symbols cannot substitute for each other in the Wild Train Feature.

While the hardhat is not seen during the base game, it does appear on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4 during the re-spins feature. During free games, the hardhat symbol appears on reels 1, 2, and 3. During the main game, the drill and cart symbols only appear on reel 5. They do not appear on the reels when you play the Free Games Bonus or during the re-spins.

Free Games Meter

When you collect five gold symbols in the Wild Train Feature, this triggers the free games bonus round. Five wild gold symbols award you with three free spins. The drill and carts that triggered the re-spin, and then the free spins, remain stuck in place on the reels during the free spins round. After each free spin is complete, the drill and carts move one space to cover any gold or hardhat symbols. These symbols each add one free game.

Jackpot Bonus

When you collect 12 or more wild gold symbols during both the base game and then the free games feature, this triggers the jackpot. You win 1,000x your total bet when the free games round ends. The bet size is based on the initial triggering bet.
