Gold Collector

Gold Collector Review

The game is oozing mediocrity from every pore. However, it might appeal to lower risk punters who’re not willing to take on the volatile beasts throning at the top of the mining slot genre.

The medium volatility competes in a different weight class altogether than heavy hitters, but a single spin max win of 1,200x your stake still seems too low. Audiovisually, there’s nothing much to be excited about either. If you’re curious about the tweaks can always try the demo version first, and then determine whether or not it’s worth your while.

Gold Collector HyperHold Features

The premium symbols are worth up to 15x your stake for 5 on a payline, and you can land a wild that steps in for all regular symbols on the 3 middle reels only. Other than that, you can look forward to the HyperHold Streak Respins, as well as a bonus round with a guaranteed HyperHold trigger.

The golden cash coin symbol is what you need to trigger the HyperHold feature, and at least 3 anywhere on the same spin does the trick. All reels holding triggering coins become active in the Streak Respins feature that follows, and you can see a spin meter above each active Hold & Respin reel.

You start with 3 respins per reel, and new cash coins that land become sticky and reset the respective reel’s respin tally to 3 again. The feature ends when you run out of respins, or if all possible reel positions are filled with cash coins. Each reel is also assigned with a specific jackpot, and filling the whole reel with sticky coins awards the jackpot prize as follows:

• Reel 1 awards the Mini 10x jackpot.
• Reel 2 awards the Minor 20x jackpot.
• Reel 3 awards the Maxi 50x jackpot.
• Reel 4 awards the Major 100x jackpot.
• Reel 5 awards the Grand 1,000x jackpot.

The regular Bonus Round is triggered when you land 3 dynamite scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4, and this gives you 8 free spins for starters. You are guaranteed to trigger the HyperHold Streak Respins feature at least once during the bonus round, but up to several times is not uncommon. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 new scatters on a free spin.

The 200 Spins Gold Collector HyperHold Experience

Nothing worth seeing happened for us in the base game, so you can safely skip to 1:11, as that’s when we trigger the bonus round. It takes around 3 minutes to play out, since we trigger the HyperHold feature 2 times within it. How much we got away with you can see for yourself by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Striking gold in the overcrowded mining genre is far from easy, and the effort, Gold Collector HyperHold, is bound to fall short. The cartoonish visuals are uninspired, and the game lacks personality overall. Perhaps if this was released 10 years ago it would have made a dent, but it cannot even compare to others.

At least the trademarked HyperHold feature has been tweaked a bit in this game, making the Streak Respins feature somewhat unique. However, getting progressively fewer reels to respin is not really a good thing, and you know up front whether or not you have a shot at the big jackpot. This takes away some of the excitement, although you will usually get a couple of attempts during the bonus round.
