Gold Heist - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Treasure Mine, Gold Miners, Diamond Mine Megaways, the iconic Bonanza online slot - sometimes the biggest rewards can be found buried deep underground, which is something that certainly hasn’t escaped the attention of slots developers!

Dragon Gaming has decided to head below ground for this gold-themed slots game. It includes a fun free spins bonus and a Mine Trail bonus with a generous multiplier feature that can reward you with up to 200x your stake!

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Gold Heist is set in a busy gold mine, with railway trucks scooting back and forth delivering their precious cargo. The reels are presented within a giant wooden frame, supported by heavy sacks. The backing for the reels is dark, allowing the bright symbols to really pop. There are the usual playing card icons, joined by revolvers, gold bars, railway trucks and the high-paying bank. There is a pleasant soundtrack to accompany the gameplay, making for an inviting game that we couldn’t wait to start playing.

Gold Heist RTP and variance

Gold Heist features a very respectable RTP of 96.12 per cent, which is slightly above average for an online slots game; however, although this statistic suggests there are some good returns to be made from the game, this needs to be balanced against the high volatility. Modest bankrolls can be blown apart by this sort of game in a very short space of time, so be sure to explore the game very thoroughly in demo mode before heading to an online casino. Gold Heist is just one of the Dragon Gaming free slots you can try out here at Slots Temple with absolutely no financial risk.

How to play Gold Heist

1. Your first decision is how many paylines to include with every spin of the Gold Heist reels. There are up to 30 and we highly recommend that you include them all wherever possible. This won’t guarantee you a win but certainly offers the best chances of landing one.

2. With your paylines in place, it is time to decide how much to pay for each. Your stake will be multiplied by the number of active lines and displayed in the cash bet window.

3. Press the spin button to play a single game. For multiple automatic spins, select autoplay, which gives you up to 1,000 spins at a constant wager.

4. The + button takes you to the game settings. From here, you can view the paytable, read the game rules, speed up the gameplay, adjust the game sounds and view your session history,

Bet sizes & paytable wins

The cost per payline starts at just 0.01 on the reels of Gold Heist. With 30 variable paylines, it is possible to precisely fine-tune the size of your bet; however, we recommend always activating as many paylines as you can to optimise your chances of winning a prize. That gives you wagering options from 0.30 to 90.00 per spin, which is fairly standard for a Dragon Gaming slot.

The majority of the game symbols require you to match three, four or five across a payline to win a prize; however, the top-paying symbols will pay out cash rewards for matching just two examples, giving you extra winning opportunities. Wins are paid as multiples of your payline stake as follows:

- Jack, queen = 3x, 10x, 100x
- King, ace = 5x, 20x, 200x
- Revolver = 5x, 30x, 300x
- Gold bars = 2x, 25x, 80x, 500x
- Railway truck = 2x, 25x, 80x, 500x
- Bank = 5x, 50x, 100x, 1,000x
- Wild = 10x, 100x, 200x, 1,000x

Gold Heist bonus features & free spins

- Wild

The wild symbol in Gold Heist is the mean-looking cowboy with a gun. In addition to being one of the top-paying symbols in the game, he can substitute for all other game symbols apart from the scatter and the bonus. Not only does he help you to land winning combinations but also he brings a 2x multiplier to any win in which he features as a substitute symbol.

- Minecart

The Minecart Bonus is activated when you land three or more of the prospector scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Every scatter that triggers the feature gives you one pick in the Minecart Pick game, awarding your total number of free spins. There are up to 50 free spins on offer, and every win is doubled during the feature.

- Mine Trail

There is another bonus game that is triggered by landing three or more bonus symbols on the reels. You will be taken to an open-case quarry where every spin of the bonus wheel advances you along the mine trail. You will pick up increasing multipliers as you go, with the bonus only ending when the wheel lands on collect. You could pick up a multiplier as high as 200x if you manage to reach the end of the trail!

Gold Heist review: our verdict

Gold Heist is another solid offering from Dragon Gaming that packs quite a punch. Hit the multiplier trail to land some big cash wins, or trigger the free spins bonus and see the value of every win doubled! Just keep a close watch on your balance - this is a game that you will need to commit to for at least 200 spins to stand the best chance of hitting some big payouts, although nothing in slots is guaranteed.
