Information
Cluster wins are awarded for adjacent symbol combinations, according to the information in the paytable and game rules. If winning on multiple clusters in a single game round, all winnings are added together. All winnings from Features (such as Free Spins), Bonus Game and/or Scatters (if applicable) are also added to cluster wins. All winning combinations are paid out at the end of a game round. Free Spin features are played with the same bet as the game round that triggered the feature – unless otherwise stated. The bet cannot be changed during a currently running game round. Please refer to the game rules for more information. Winning combinations only pay if symbols are connected horizontally or vertically and without any gaps. Winning combinations can start from any point on the grid. Only the highest win is paid per winning symbol combination.
Game Rules
Gold Volcano is a video slot played on a grid shaped like a volcano.
Symbols rise into view. 4 or more horizontally/vertically connected symbols in a cluster award a win. Only the highest win in the cluster is paid. Winning symbols are removed. New symbols are provided to fill the empty spaces, via a symbol cascade. Multiple clusters of the same symbol that are not connected are paid separately.
The ‘Pressure’ feature is triggered at random if winning symbols are removed. A Wild symbol is created in an available empty space before new symbols are provided, substituting for all symbols except Scatter. Wild symbols can randomly be assigned a x2 multiplier. If part of the same win, Wild symbols displaying a multiplier will multiply with one another.
The ‘Dormant’ feature is triggered randomly if the base game is non-winning, including the initial spin and/or subsequent symbol cascades. 1 of 3 effects are performed. The effects can only be played once per spin, in any order, with a total limit of 3 effects per spin.
• ‘Rumble’ – the current grid of symbols is shuffled, and a Scatter symbol is created.
• ‘Lava’ – an additional layer of any symbol, except Scatter, is created.
• ‘Excavate’ – between 3 and 5 Wild symbols are placed into random locations.
The ‘Crystallisation’ feature is triggered by collecting the Scatter symbol. If the required number of Scatter symbols has been reached, the respective symbol is transformed immediately into Gold – the highest paying symbol. Collection and transformation resets at the end of each game round, except If triggering the ‘Eruption’ feature, where progression carries over and is not reset. There are 3 levels, each requiring 3 Scatter symbols to reach. Scatter symbols are removed from the game If no further upgrades are possible.
The ‘Eruption’ feature is triggered if 6 consecutive symbol cascades have occurred; and activated if no further winning combinations and/or effects are achieved. An initial 5 Free Spins are awarded. Free Spins are played on a larger grid (8×8). Symbols rise into view. The two central columns push symbols outwards to fill symbol positions outside the volcano. Symbols push up and slide sideways and cannot cross the visible border between the inside/outside of the volcano. Wins can be made anywhere on the grid.
An additional 1 Free Spin is awarded if 6 consecutive symbol cascades have occurred during the ‘Eruption’ feature. The maximum number of FREE SPINS achievable is 30.
