Old Gold Miner Megaways Slot by Pragmatic Play 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Old Gold Miner Megaways Review

We are always excited whenever a new mining slot dumps down on our proverbial desk, and Old Gold Miner Megaways looked like a decent installment at first glance. As we dug a bit deeper however, it was soon revealed to be a reskin of Pragmatic Play’s Madame Destiny Megaways. The original is admittedly a popular release though, featuring a bolder than usual version of the dynamic reels engine.

You can thus get up to 200,704 ways to win from a maxed out 7-8-8-8-8-7 grid, and both the prospector’s dog and a mole are dressed up for a volatile gold mining adventure. The visuals are nicely done, but hardly anything too special either, and you’re taken for a tour of the mining shaft in the fixed, but upgradable, multiplier bonus round. The 5,000x potential is decent, but below par for this engine.

Old Gold Miner Megaways Slot Features

The top-tier RTP increases to 96.67 % if you switch on the Anet bet feature, and this also increases your spin cost by 25 %. The benefit is that your bonus round chances are doubled, and the premium symbols pay between 1.25 and 20 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. The bearded prospector Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and all wild wins are boosted by x2. The wild symbol can appear on all reels except the first.

Winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic, and this opens up spaces for new and/or existing symbols to drop down. This can generate new winning combos indefinitely, as the tumble feature goes on as long as you keep winning.

You need 3, 4, 5 or 6 gold nugget scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you an upfront scatter payout of 5x, 10x, 20x or 100x your stake, respectively. You’ll then spin a Wheel of Fortune that determines the number of free spins between 5 and 12, as well as the bonus round win multiplier between x2 and x25.

The multiplier will boost your total win from each tumble sequence, but it’s not progressive like in many other Megaways games. However, you retrigger the bonus round by landing 3+ scatters, and this gives you a new Wheel spin. The number of extra spins and multiplier you get is added to the current tallies, and there is no cap on the number of retriggers. Non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake.

You get to see a few smaller wins here and there in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round. It triggers with 3 scatters at 1:22 into the 3:29-minute highlights video, and we got 8 free spins with an x3 win multiplier from the wheel.

Review Summary

Pragmatic Play has had pretty solid success with the original Madame Destiny Megaways, so it’s understandable that they would want to see how the same game performs wrapped in the popular mining theme. The visuals are a tad unusual perhaps, with a miner dog and mole on the reels, but overall there is hardly anything new to see in that department either.

You’ll tunnel through the mineshaft in the bonus round, but it hardly feels like a rollercoaster ride except for the game’s volatility. The base game could’ve easily been spiced up with some new modifiers to make things more interesting, but all you get is tumble wins and x2 multiplier boosted wild wins. It can get interesting if you can get some retriggers to rack up a decent bonus round multiplier, but only to the tune of a mediocre 5,000x your stake.
