Gold Volcano Slot Review
Get ready to embark on an adventure as hot as the sun itself. Brace yourself because it is going to be a bumpy ride as you spin the reels in this volcanic slot by Play’n GO. Will you make it to the eruption or will you burn in the lava? Play to find out!
The game is visually simple yet stunning. The background consists of multiple mountains and a volcano ready to erupt at any time, all during an undergoing thunderstorm. At the bottom of the interface, you can also see a seismic activity indicator. At the left, you can see the win indicator and the scatter meter while on the right you’ll find the logo of the game.
As for the mechanics, the classic reel after reel action is replaced by cluster win. To form a win, at least 4 symbols must be vertically or horizontally adjacent. Also, instead of new symbols appearing from the top, they appear from the bottom pushing any other symbols upwards.
As you’ll see later on the game is really heated which is the reason it has managed to obtain such a wide following. If you’re looking for something similar then we recommend you check out Lava Gold by Betsoft. For now, let’s focus on the game in question.
How to Play Gold Volcano
The game consists of 8 rows and 8 reels but you start each spin on the default 6-row and 8-reel grid. The controls are located below the game board giving players the ability to change the bet size, enable the autoplay function, check out the paytable, or simply spin with more options being available through the in-game menu.
Gold Volcano features 4 low paying and 4 high paying symbols. The first come in the form of card suits followed by an amethyst, a ruby, an emerald, and gold.
The game’s special symbols are:
- Wild – The wild substitutes for all other symbols except for the scatter. It is randomly created when winning symbols are removed and it can also take the form of a 2x wild multiplier.
- Scatter – Each 3 scatter symbols that are collected progresses the scatter meter by one stage.
Game Rules
Gold Volcano Features
The game may not look like much at first but a lot is going on as you’ll quickly find out when playing. Let’s take a look at all the different features you can trigger!
One of the three Dormant features can be randomly activated after a non-winning spin. The game continues normally after this. The 3 features are:
- Rumble – Symbols are shaken into new locations and a scatter is added
- Lava – An additional layer of a random symbol is created (except for the scatter)
- Excavate – Between 3 and 5 wild symbols are added to random positions
The scatter meter consists of 3 levels each of which needs 3 scatter symbols to be collected in order to be filled. After a level has been completed, all instances of a certain high paying symbol will be converted to the gold symbol. The meter progression doesn’t reset if you trigger the free spins feature.
For each symbol cascade, the magma level rises by 1. 6 Cascades trigger the free spins feature awarding 5 initial free spins.
During the free spins, symbols erupt upwards and outwards from the middle two reels to fill additional spaces outside the gold volcano. Winning clusters can be formed anywhere. 6 cascades award an additional free spin.
