In Vegas Technology’s 5-reel 25-payline California Gold, a wacky miner substitute doubles wins in a bonus feature game with the miner appearing anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4. Choose from one of four mines and grab five gold nuggets along the way. Each nugget weighs a certain number of ounces and will determine the multiplier of the triggering bet plus the bonus game can continue over and over during the free spins feature game.

A nugget of gold is the scatter symbol and will award players a free spins feature game that can be retriggered with 10 free games where all wins are tripled. The angry miner hiding behind the boulders gives the highest coin payout at 5,000 with 5 in all and the other symbols include a mining cave, an overtaxed donkey buckling underneath a heavy pack, a wagon full of gold, a pan of gold, dynamite, maps, lanterns, barrels and mining tools.

Mining for wealth is dangerous work, but for slot players the most powerful TNT doesn’t involve gunpowder: only that occasional, random explosion of luck.
