American Gold Fever

American Gold Fever Game Review

This game is a new addition to the range of video bingo games, and it comes packed with three bonus games and four different jackpots, paying up to 5,000x the bet.

As the title implies, American Gold Fever utilizes a classic gold-mine theme, so you already know what to expect here. The studio hasn’t gone exactly to town with the theme, sticking to more or less familiar decor, though, we should still pay kudos to the design team since the graphics are nice and sharp. The soundtrack is also on spot, fitting the gameplay perfectly and adding a final touch to the general ambiance.

The American Gold Fever slot uses a 90-ball bingo system, and there are four tickets with 5x3 setups to play with. Once you press the ‘Play’ button, an initial draw is made, and the point is to match the bingo numbers with those shown on the tickets to complete the pay patterns. There are 15 different winning patterns, paying from 2x to 2,000x the bet per ticket.

You can play with just one ticket or activate up to all four, and the bets per ticket vary from €0.05 to €10. The volatility is in the medium range, while the RTP is 95.04%, which is slightly beneath the average level. The maximum achievable win is 5,000x the bet per ticket.

After the initial draw is made, you proceed to the Extra Ball stage, where you can opt to buy extra bingo balls for a chance to score bigger wins. Some of the Extra balls can be Wild, giving you an opportunity to pick any number to be called.

There are three Bonus Patterns, and completing them triggers the respective bonus game:

• Bonus Pattern 1 - triggers Mine Shaft Bonus, which has 5 levels. Each level contains 4 options to pick from, which can reveal either a random cash prize, a ‘Next Level’ sign, or nothing. Revealing a cash prize awards the prize and advances the player to the next level. Revealing the ‘Next Level’ sign awards no prize and advances the player to the next level. Revealing an empty hole ends the bonus game. The maximum bonus game win is 1,096x the bet per ticket.
• Bonus Pattern 2 - triggers Golden Mine Carts Bonus. It has 5 levels, and each level has 3 mine carts, which can contain a cash prize or a ‘Collect’ symbol. If the chosen cart contains a prize, the player is awarded the prize and proceeds to the next level. If the selected card has the ‘Collect’ symbol or there are no carts left, the bonus ends. The maximum bonus game win is 665x the bet per ticket.
• Bonus Pattern 3 - triggers Mine Picker Bonus. Players are presented with 8 different items of mine equipment, which can contain either a cash prize or a ‘Collect’ sign. If the selected item has a prize, the player receives the payout and continues the pick. In case a ‘Collect’ sign is revealed or there are no more items left, the bonus ends. The maximum bonus game win is 640x the bet per ticket.

Completing the Bonus Patterns also awards a fixed prize upon the bonus trigger. They are 550x for the first pattern and 400x for the second and third. More than that, an additional Mystery Prize can be awarded randomly at the end of the bonus round.

Playing with 4 activated tickets enables the American Jackpots feature. Each bingo ball can randomly land with a nugget attached to it, which is then collected to the respective meter on top. If enough nuggets are collected, an additional jackpot prize is awarded:

• 6 Nuggets - Bronze Jackpot of 60x the bet per ticket
• 7 Nuggets - Silver Jackpot of 160x the bet per ticket
• 8 Nuggets - Emerald Jackpot of 1,000x the bet per ticket
• 9 Nuggets - Gold Jackpot of 5,000x the bet per ticket
