Gold Digger: Mines Game Review
It’s been fun following the old golden-tooth prospector,
Gus, on his 2 previous mining adventures, and 💵 Gold Digger Megaways made quite an
impression. Gold Digger: Mines is iSoftBet’s debut effort in the far from overpopulated
Mine 💵 Games genre, and it’s a super simple Pick & Click game that mimics the classic
Minesweeper game most people are 💵 familiar with from their home computer, laptop and/or
mobile phone.
You get to choose your preferred number of TNT Mines up 💵 front, and the
more mines you go with the quicker the value of the gold nuggets increase. The aim is
💵 to reveal as many gold nuggets as you dare, while avoiding the round-ending TNT mines
that blow up your winnings, 💵 and you can cash out at any time. Both RTP and volatility
varies depending on your pre-round choices, and you 💵 can win up to 288x your stake from
a single round.

Gold Digger: Mines Features
Before you
💵 start a round, you need to choose your bet size (from £/€1 to £/€300), and you also
need to choose 💵 your preferred number of TNT mines. Choosing 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 TNT
mines gives you 24, 💵 23, 20, 15, 12, 8 or 5 picks, respectively, and you lose all racked
up winnings if you don’t cash 💵 out before you hit a TNT mine.
Each gold nugget you
reveal comes with a bet multiplier, and you can always 💵 see how much you stand to win on
the next pick if you reveal another nugget. Below the ‘Next Win’ 💵 display, the ‘Found’
display gives you an overview of how many of the nuggets you’ve uncovered so far, and
your 💵 total win is on display on the ‘Cash Out’ button up to the left (below Gus).
The
‘Remaining Picks’ you have 💵 left at your disposal is also on display, and below that you
can see the maximum possible win for the 💵 round. The max win depends on the number of
TNT mines you choose to go with, and it varies from 💵 24x to 288x your stake. More TNT
mines doesn’t necessarily equal a higher max win, but it does equal a 💵 quicker increase
in nugget values.

The 200 Spins Gold 💵 Digger:
Mines Experience
We started out with only 1 TNT mine on the 5x5 grid, and we decided to
cash out 💵 after revealing 15 gold nuggets. In the next round we went with 5 TNT mines,
and it was game over 💵 pretty quickly. You get to see plenty of rounds in our 8:26-minute
highlights video, so simply hit the play button 💵 below to get started
immediately.
Review Summary
We’ve followed the charming golden-tooth prospector, Gus,
on both his regular slot and Megaways mining 💵 adventures, and we especially enjoyed the
latter. Gold Digger: Mines is a far simpler release in the somewhat obscure and 💵 narrow
Mine Games niche, inspired by the classic Minesweeper game. We much prefer regular
slots to be honest, as this 💵 pick & click concept got old after a few rounds.
Going with
2 TNT Mines, which gives you 23 picks, is 💵 the best option if you want to maximize your
potential returns, although 288x the stake is hardly enough to give 💵 anyone gold fever.
An option to execute all picks randomly at once would have been appreciated, but we
guess the 💵 idea is to feel “thrilled” as you make the picks one by one. A game like this
might entertain for 💵 a little while, but once the novelty wears off most players will
move on to better things.
