As the name suggests, the game is based on a volcanic theme which offers players with cluster pay wins. The background story of the game tells us about Cash-a-Mundo Island from where the Gold Volcano is said to form. During the volcanic eruption, it supposedly ejects gold and gems along with the lava and smoke.
The Gold Volcano slot takes place with 8 reels and uses a Cluster Pays engine. Oddly, you will see 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4 and 3 symbols on each of the respective reels in the shape of a volcano. 4 or more connected symbols, either horizontally or vertically, will award a cluster win. Only the highest value cluster is paid.
Symbols on the reels include low value cart suits which are encased in stone. The more valuable symbols are represented by 4 precious materials. The gold symbol is the most valuable giving you 1,000 x your total stake for 30 or more on the grid.
Gold Volcano comes with 2 wild symbols. There’s the standard wild (W) which substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter. The second wild also replaces all symbols (bar the scatter) but adds a 2x multiplier – this appears in the Pressure feature and free spins. The piece of volcanic rock is the scatter.
When the Gold Volcano threatens to fall asleep, the Dormant Feature can shake it up. In 3 ways:
Rumble Feature: All the symbols scramble. Furthermore, one scatter appears.
Lava Feature: The volcano spits lava, and this generates an extra row of symbols. The playing field is extended to 4+5+6+7+7+6+5+4 and is 44 symbols large.
Excavate Feature: at least 3 and at most 5 wilds, symbols are randomly added to the grid.
