The theme is the American Wild West and the game uses a canyon set there as a background. You will see scattered oil rigs everywhere. The game window is extra large with reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 is higher than the 1st and 6th one. The pay areas are three positioned one over the other. Green cactuses stand on each side of the playing window of this dessert-themed and located slot.
You will see a vulture perched on the left waiting for his next hunt. At the bottom of each reel, you will see a gauge – 6 gauges in total which play a special function. They will open the relevant pipes and spray oil onto the reels during the extra features. The game’s graphics are pleasant, colourful, and make the play alive and thrilling. Although StakeLogic is a new studio, it has done a great job.
The paying symbols include the 9 to A cards at the low end with a value of 0.6x up to 1.25x stake for 6 of a kind combinations. The premium symbols are oil lamps, raging bulls, worker hats, and an oil tycoon. They can give you from 1.5x to 50x stake for 6 of a kind wins. The wild in the game is the dynamite bundle. It has its standard substituting functions. The scatter is the golden oil rig.
The game is full of extras and features. The major role for triggering them has the Cinematic Bonus Reel on the top of the game window. It has space for 5 icons and when you land one of them you activate the associated feature. As a result, first, the setting of the game will change to night mode and the vulture will get replaced by a howling wolf. A random number of the valves on the bottom of the reels will open and start splashing oil onto the reels above. These valves will apply one of the following random features:
The main event in Black Gold Megaways is the Free Spins. You trigger them by landing 4 or more golden oil rig scatters. This will give you 12 initial free rounds. Each extra scatter, part of the triggering spin, adds 5 more free spins to your starting rounds. You aim at activating as many cascades as possible. This is important as each winning combination increases the active unlimited multiplier by x1. It is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The multiplier starts at x1 and has the potential to reach x20 and even x30 granting you massive wins.
You can re-trigger the free games by landing 3 or more scatters on the horizontal reel during free spins. Land 3 scatters in a spin and win 5 more free spins, while 4 scatters will give you 10 extra free spins.
Players have the option to put at stake each of their wins through a card gamble. You will be presented with an option to guess the colour or the suit of the face-down card on the screen. If you guess the colour (black or red) you will double your win. If you guess the suit (heart, spade, club, diamond) – you will have it multiplied by 4. If you are wrong in your guess, you lose the win. As you see, the higher the risk the better the reward like in every game of chance.
This medium to medium to high volatility slot offers you a unique experience with its diverse and many features. The win potential is more than good. This is thanks to the cascades, stacked wilds, multiplier wilds. The free spin with unlimited and increasing multiplier gives you excellent chances. The 14,400 times your stake max win is a good reason to at least try Black Gold Megaways. Take part in the oil fever to get richly rewarded and have fun with the superb animations.
