California Gold Slot Review

Everyone loves a bit of digging for gold action and in an usual twist, there are actually two great slots out there that go by the California Gold name, with BetSoft actually getting there first. Here, however, we’re looking at the NextGen version which is every bit as good in its own way, with some great features and one of the best looking sets of symbols in the genre.

As with most NextGen games, the action plays out over 25 win lines with a wide range of betting options to cover each of those lines. You’ll be on the lookout for all of the various kinds of symbols that you’d expect from a game like this, with pickaxes, gold nuggets, dynamite and more lining up on the reels to bring the biggest and best wins.

Mad Miner Bonus Game

The gold nugget is of particular importance as three or more of those in view will launch the bonus round, where players receive a decent number of free spins. Not only that, but all wins during the round are trebled too. The prospector also appears during both standard and bonus play, filling in as a wild card on the second, third and fourth reels. Manage to land one on all three of those reels at once and you’ll enter the Mad Miner bonus game. There, you have to search for gold in a mine – they all contain cash but some definitely contain more than others and you have a number of directions to take in order to discover the biggest and best prize.

California Gold is definitely a highly entertaining take on the theme and well worth checking out for some Wild West style action. Give it a spin here on the page, or check it out with real cash and prizes at stake at the featured NextGen casinos at the top of the page.
