Gold Rush: Cash Collect Slot Review

Gold Rush: Cash Collect Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot is played with 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 fixed paylines. As simple as online slot games come, you need 3 or more matching symbols appearing from left to right, beginning from reel 1, across any of the 30 paylines. The more symbols on a payline, the larger the win essentially.

Playable from 10p to £500 a spin, some slot websites in the UK may decrease the maximum bet. Either way, click/press the Bet coins icon and use the dropdown menu to confirm your stake amount. Players located outside the UK have the option of Autoplay where you can choose unlimited autospins. Then there is Turbo Mode which increases up spin speed.

The Gold Rush: Cash Collect RTP is 95.62% which is lower than the online slots norm of 96%. However, this is justified as it’s a branded slot game. There also is a 93.43% RTP version which may be the one offered at your chosen Playtech casino.

When it comes to volatility, it’s in the medium to high bracket. That said, the bonus feature frequency is 1 in 30 spins which is very high. In the Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot game, the max win is 1,868.7 x your total bet which occurs every 4 billion spins. Landing wins of 1,000 x bet or higher will take approximately 7,130,125 spins (on average).

Theme – go in search of gold with Discovery’s official TV series

With a gold mining theme, the Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot is the official game for the Gold Rush TV series shown on Discovery. The show focuses on gold miners of the Yukon who put everything on the line in the hope of finding gold and striking it rich.

Set on a mining site, the soundtrack is typical of the music you’ll hear in the TV series. Well designed, the Gold Rush TV show has 13 seasons to date. It has won various awards and was the most-watched Friday night programme in the US amongst males aged 18 to 49 and women aged 25 to 54.

On the reels, you will see A, K and Q playing cards as well as gold nugget holders, scales as well as the cast from the show. You’ll see Fred Lewis, Monica Beets, Rick Ness and Tony Beets. Tony Beets is the best paying symbol with 0.3, 1.5 or 6 x bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have the Wild Gold symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols above. Other symbols include the Cash Collect, Cash Prize, Reset, Diamond and Free Games coins (more details below).

Gold Rush: Cash Collect Mobile

Produced with HTML5 technology, the Gold Rush Cash Collect slot has been optimised for mobile, tablet, laptop and/or PC play. The 5×3 setup works well on mobiles including iOS, Android and Windows devices.

Gold Rush: Cash Collect Bonus Features

The Gold Rush Cash Collect slot has 4 bonus features. Key to them all is landing the Cash Collect symbol on reel 5 which awards cash prizes, fixed jackpots and free spins. In the free spins, Cash Collect symbols land on 5 reels increasing your chances for cash prizes, fixed jackpots and extra free spins.

Cash Collect feature

The Cash Collect feature is played when you simultaneously land the Cash Collect symbol on reel 5 on a base game spin and a coin symbol anywhere on the reels. With 3 coin symbols appearing, they will contain a cash prize, diamond or free games. These are collected when the Cash Collect symbol appears on reel 5.

Cash prize coins contain a value of between 1 and 15 x your total bet. To help you with cash prizes, there is a Nudge feature. This will ensure the Cash Collect symbol nudges in to trigger the feature.

If you land a Cash Collect symbol and Diamond coin symbol anywhere on the reels, you will win 1 of 4 prizes. Chosen at random, here’s what the prizes award:

Furthermore, each prize can be won multiple times if more than 1 Cash Collect symbol is locked on the reels during the Free Games feature. This is because multiple Diamond coin symbols can land on the same free spin.

Free Games feature

The Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot has a Free Games feature. This is triggered by simultaneously landing the Cash Collect symbol on reel 5 and 1+ free games coin symbol anywhere on the reels. Free games coins will have a value of 3, 4, 5, 7 or 10. The number of free spins you’ll play is the total of the values of free games coin symbols.

Once in, you’ll notice Cash Collect symbols can appear on all 5 reels. When they land, they will collect all coin symbols on the reels. It also shifts 1 position down after every free spin until it exits the reels. Keep an eye out for the Reset coin symbol (a green coin with an arrow pointing up) as it pushes all Cash Collect symbols up.

Finally, you can win additional free spins when you land a Cash Collect symbol and free games coin symbol anywhere on the reels. Free spins can be retriggered indefinitely for unlimited free spins.

Pay Dirt feature

Randomly after any spin, an excavation or conveyer machine can appear onscreen. They will add cash prize, free games, diamond and/or Cash Collect symbols. They also add stacks of wild symbols to random reels. This feature can randomly trigger in the base game and Free Games feature.

Gold Rush: Cash Collect Review Summary – Cash Collect prizes key to finding gold

If you’re a fan of the TV series, the Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot will certainly appear. Featuring the show’s main characters, the graphics/design is decent but not as good as the previously released Rocky slot (which is the official game of the iconic Rocky films).

Gameplay wise, it’s all about the Cash Collect feature. Landing the Cash Collect symbol on reel 5 can lead to cash prizes, free spins and 4 fixed jackpots worth up to 500 x bet. That said, bigger wins will come in the Free Games feature as Cash Collect symbols can land on all 5 reels. This can lead to multiple jackpots being won simultaneously.

With 1,868.7 x bet max wins, the Gold Rush: Cash Collect slot isn’t the highest paying game available online. Whilst Playtech are no strangers to branded slot games, higher win potential and a couple more bonus features would have made this a much more appealing proposition.

Games Global’s Game of Thrones Power Stacks comes with 25,000 x bet max wins and Playtech’s very own The Mummy: Books of Amun Ra offers 10,000 x stake top payouts.
