Gold Dust

Gold Dust Review

Gold Dust is set within the expansive and rugged American landscapes. The sun graces an open field, adorned with gentle wooded hills and jagged rock formations stretching into the distance.

The game evokes a sense of liberty and vastness, suggesting numerous possibilities. The visuals are undeniably appealing. The reels may partially obstruct the view, but the focus is on enjoying a slot game, so there are no concerns.

There is no music playing. Instead, country-style tunes play after each win. Gold Dust succeeds in immersing the player in its environment through its well-crafted setting.

The game makes it easy to begin playing. Even new players should find the game screen easy to navigate. A guide can also help you there.

The game has a classic five-reel layout with 20 potential paylines. You can activate 1, 5, 10, 15, or all 20 lines via the side tabs that border the reels. You can wager 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 coins per payline. The reels will spin automatically as you set your bet, which you can do using the shortcut at the bottom of the game screen. A winning symbol combination will activate the appropriate reward. There is also the optional Gamble feature where you can double your winnings. Click the button and correctly guess the colour of a face-down card, remembering that making a mistake will end the game.

A Generous Menu

The paytable in Gold Dust has a lot to offer.

You will encounter nine standard symbols on the reels, starting with the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace, which are the lowest symbols. The rest are all inspired by the Gold Rush. Keep an eye out for the Pickaxe, Lantern, and Gold Sieve.

Rounding off the symbol list are a charming gold prospectors, a Woman and a Man, who can reward you up to 1000 times your wager for getting five of a kind. This is not a bad start.

This is a good start, but the real fun starts with the special symbols.

Bonus Rush

The Cart filled with gold bars acts as the Wild symbol and can substitute for any standard symbol to complete winning combinations. The Cart is also very valuable: landing five on an enabled payline will multiply your bet by 50,000.

There are also two Scatters. The first is a Train. Landing three or more of these anywhere on the reels will award Free Spins. Choose a train to find out how many free games you have won, with a multiplier increasing at each round. There is also an additional Gold Nugget symbol available during the Free Spins.

The second Scatter is Dynamite. This only appears on the first three reels, and triggering three of them will start the Dynamite feature. Click on the scattered dynamite icons to reveal prizes over four game levels. You can keep playing until you find a Stop sign.
