Silver and Gold Mine - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Silver and Gold Mine review: introduction 

It is time to grab your shovel and your pickaxe and dive deep below the ground to find prizes in Silver and Gold Mine from Rubyplay slots. This is a mining-themed slot that you will play on five reels and 50 fixed paylines. You can expect to see wild symbols, free spins and unique bonus features that only appear in this game. Let’s see what is on offer in this mining mystery slot and what you can win by playing online. 

Overall theme 

By looking at the background, we would assume that this slot takes place in North America. This is thanks to the snowy peaks you can see behind the reels and the forest of dense conifers all around. If you enjoy the theme of this game and would like to play something similar, take a look at the Bonanza slot. 

Silver and Gold Mine RTP and variance

Silver and Gold Mine has an RTP that will make players very happy. It has been set at 96.88 per cent, which is above the industry average for online slots. The volatility is medium to high, so the prizes will come in fairly regularly and will be at the higher end in terms of amounts. 

How to play Silver and Gold Mine

If you are new to online slots and want to know how to use the controls and play the game, take a look at our guide below: 

1. Change your total bet by clicking the plus and minus buttons to either side of the panel. This is the total amount each spin will cost you within the game. 
2. Use the green spin button to spin the reels once for the amount you just set. 
3. The auto button can be used to set the reels to spin automatically. 
4. Click the information button to the left of the control panel to see the paytable and the rules for the game. 

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

There is not a massive betting range in Silver and Gold Mine, which surprised us because of the volatility. You can start betting for 0.50 coins and the maximum amount you can set is 50 coins per spin. 

You will need to land each set of symbols in combinations of threes, fours and fives across an active payline to walk away with a win. Below are the multipliers you can win for landing five of each symbol on the reels: 

• Ten, jack, queen, king = 1x 
• Ace = 1.5x 
• Pickaxe, lantern, cart = 2x 
• Donkey = 3x 
• Scatter = 100x 

Silver and Gold Mine bonus features

Gold and silver nuggets 

You can land the gold and silver nugget symbols during the base game and free spins round. Landing six or more of these on the reels will trigger the Double Sunlight Spins feature, with each nugget appearing with a prize from 0.5x to 200x your total bet. 

Wild symbol 

This symbol can substitute for all the other symbols in the game apart from the nugget and scatter to help make winning combinations.

Jackpot Pick 

The wild symbol can trigger the Jackpot Pick feature randomly at any time. You will pick each wild, which will display one of the four jackpots. Match three of these to win the corresponding prize below: 

Mini = 16x total bet 
Minor = 50x total bet 
Major = 200x total bet 
Grand = 1,400x total bet 

Sunlight Choice 

Three or more scatter symbols will trigger the Sunlight Choice round. This rewards you with a prize as follows: 

Three scatter symbols give you a 5x multiplier 
Four scatter symbols give you a 15x multiplier 
Five scatter symbols give you a 100x multiplier 

You will also have the opportunity to pick and reveal whether you receive Double Sunlight Spins or free spins during this feature. 

Free spins 

The free spins round is triggered in the Sunlight Choice bonus round when you pick to reveal either free spins or Double Sunlight Spins. You will receive6, 9 or 15 free games in addition to 50, 100 or 200 extra wilds. You can trigger more free spins during the round by landing three or more scatter symbols. 

Double Sunlight Spins 

Any gold or silver nuggets on the reels when this round is triggered remain in place and all other reel positions become individual reels. This is game 1. If you manage to land a six+ gold nugget in Game 1, you unlock game 2. You get three respins when you start game 1 or game 2. If you land one or more nugget symbols again, they will hold their positions and the respins reset back to three. The bonus will end when there are no more respins left or when all the positions are held in game 1 and game 2. You will walk away with all the prizes shown on the gold and silver nuggets at the end of this round. If you can hold all 15 positions, you will win the grand jackpot of 1,400x your bet. 

Our verdict 

There is a lot going for this slot and the number of bonus features on offer makes it even better. We would recommend this game for its playability.
