Review
The title might not immediately scream mining slot, but it becomes clear upon playing. The game features a grizzled character alongside cartoonish animals and a daughter figure. The base game involves a grind with occasional wild wins. Each reel has a unique wild symbol, similar to Dead or Alive 2.
The game is a collaborative effort and caters to fans of high-risk, sticky multiplier wild bonus rounds. The single feature centers on a multiplier upgradable sticky wild ride. The 50,000x potential is substantial, but difficult to achieve.
Slot Features
Like in Dead or Alive 2, there are different character Wilds per reel. The wilds substitute for regular symbols and are the most valuable. Landing 5 wilds awards 75x your stake. Gemstone symbols pay between 20 and 37.5 x your stake for 5.
The Bonus Round is triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters (mining cart full of gems), awarding 5, 25 or 500 x your stake, respectively. You get 12 free spins, and the feature cannot be retriggered. All wilds become sticky during the bonus round.
Wilds are upgraded with multipliers based on the number of wilds per reel. Filling a reel with 2, 3 or 4 wilds awards a multiplier of x2, x3 or x4 to all wilds on that reel, respectively. Landing at least 1 sticky wild per reel grants +5 extra spins the first time. You can gamble bonus winnings in a card game.
Non-UK players can buy the bonus round for 100x the total stake, guaranteeing at least 3 scatters. This provides at least a small scatter win discount, and 5 scatters can result in profit before the feature.
The Experience
The base game was uneventful. The bonus round was purchased, and the video shows the outcome.
Review Summary
The combination of a mining theme with cartoonish animals is unusual, but the unique character wilds add personality. The game's pace is a bit slow. A scatter win discount on feature buy is always welcome, but bonus buy is not universally available.
The sticky multiplier wild feature is inspired by Dead or Alive 2, but not a clone. Well-placed wilds are needed early, and multipliers can potentially lead to 50,000x your stake. Single spin payouts of 750x is the maximum without multipliers, but stacked wilds on the first reels can lead to miracles.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| High-value character wilds on all reels | The 95.6 % RTP is below average |
| FS w/ sticky wilds & multiplier upgrade | Beware of adjustable RTP ranges |
| Win up to 50,000x your stake |
