The game's control buttons allow you to spin the reels, use autoplay, change your bet, open the menu, or increase the spin speed.
The paytable is relatively tiny, with seven symbols split into lower and higher values. The lower-paying symbols are card royals: J, Q, K, and A pay 0.4x your bet for five on a payline.
The higher-paying symbols are all mining gear. The pickaxe and lantern pay 1x your bet for five on a payline, and the helmet pays 2x.
Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except money symbols, Free Spins symbols and Super Free Spins symbols, helping you complete winning symbol combos.
This slot may have an unusual 3-4-5-6-7 reel layout, but getting wins is simple. To get winning combinations, you must land three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The game features 2520 ways to win, increasing your chances of landing frequent payouts.
In the base game, each reel will have a Cash Collect counter below it. When a nugget-shaped money symbol lands on any reel, the Cash Collect counter will activate with all three spaces lit up. Active Cash Collect counters will count down by 1 with every spin until they reach 0. The money symbols hold prizes worth between 0.2x and 10x your bet.
If you land more money symbols on a reel with an active Cash Collect counter, the counter will reset to 3, and all money symbols that land on a reel with an active Cash Collect counter will stay locked in place until the counter reaches 0.
When the Cash Collect counter reaches 0, all the money symbols on the reel will be removed and collected in the Super Free Spins upgrade meter, and the counter will shut down.
Land 3 or more scatter symbols to trigger 6 Free Spins. If you land five scatter symbols, you will win a prize worth 200x your bet.
During Free Spins, only money symbols and blanks can land. All money symbols that land will stay locked in positions until the feature ends.
While the feature is active, each reel will have a Power Reel with jackpot prizes and multipliers attached.
The Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots pay 15x, 50x, 200x, or 1,000x your bet, respectively, and the possible multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.
If you fill a reel with money symbols, you will get two extra spins and unlock a Power Reel. If you fill all reels with money symbols, the Free Spins round will end, and any unlocked Power Reels will activate.
In the base game, money symbols not awarded through the Cash Collect feature will be removed from the reels and added to the Super Free Spins upgrade meter.
When you fill the Super Free Spins upgrade meter by collecting money symbols in the base game, the regular scatters will be upgraded to Super Free Spins scatters.
When you land three or more Super Free Spins scatters, the Super Free Spins feature will activate. The Super Free Spins feature works primarily the same as Free Spins, but there are a few crucial differences. Firstly, all Power Reels will be unlocked when the feature starts, so every Power Reel will be activated when Super Free Spins ends.
You can use the Buy Free Spins feature to trigger Free Spins or Super Free Spins instantly. For Free Spins, you must pay 50x your bet, while Super Free Spins will cost you 100x your bet.
Nugget Frenzy’s maximum winning potential is worth 5,000x your bet.
This slot’s volatility is very high, so big wins are in store, but these won’t come along too often. The Return to Player (RTP) is the theoretical statistical percentage of the total money bet on a slot awarded as winnings over time. Nugget Frenzy has an RTP of 96.01%, almost the same as the industry average.
Nugget Frenzy features bright, cartoonish graphics, bringing its gold-mining theme to life. The animated mini carts that collect your nugget prizes are an excellent touch, and the country music soundtrack completes the experience.
Give yourself an advantage by checking out the free demo version of any slot you want to try. Free demos give you endless virtual credits while letting you experience all the gameplay and features from the real money version.
Nugget Frenzy uses its Collect feature to help you land base game wins and much larger prizes during the bonus features. Let’s look at a few top-ranked slots that include versions of the collect feature and how they measure up.
The collect feature in 3 Lucky Hippos allows you to grab cash prizes worth 100x and substantial jackpot rewards. Collect Special stars in 5 Star Knockout for free spins and multiplier boots. Collecting random crown icons in Cheeky Fruits 6 Deluxe could get you a jackpot worth up to 5,000x.
Nugget Frenzy is an exciting game with plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged. I enjoyed that I could build up to the Super Free Spins during the base game. While the high volatility spread the wins out a lot, the Collect feature stepped in often enough to keep things lively. The Power Reels is a unique feature that adds a thrilling new dimension to free spins and makes the chase for the $250k top prize all the more thrilling.
