Gold Rally progressive jackpot slot
At first look, Playtech’s “Gold Rally” seems like a simple 3-line slot machine, just another with a gimmick; this time the backdrop and gameplay set against digging for gold in a mine, however “Gold Rally” is a machine with a progressive jackpot that is different in the fact that it has made seven Millionaires to date.
The game is a 3-reel machine with 8 actual winlines, yet with a minimum input of £/$2, the player must part with £/$18 if they want to play on the progressive jackpot. However, although I might sound like a salesman for Playtech, “Gold Rally” does, according to statistics, pay out more often than most slot machines as they have a variety of ways of paying out, and with the high input rate, the payout rate is suprisingly high.
Firstly there is the obvious payout option of having various and specific symbols along the winlines, the amount of money paid out depending on the symbol on the reel. For example 3 Lantern symbols on a winline can pay out up to £/$150, yet 3 Dynamite symbols will only bag you £/$20.
Another payout, and dare I say actually quite entertaining option is “Gold Rally”’s Bonus Round. Having achieved a dynamite symbol in each corner, the player will have the option to enter the Bonus Round, and in that round, the player is shown with a map and has to choose 2 digging points from a possible 6, with one holding the bonus money. Then, as you would expect, watch as the hole digs itself and find out if you have won the bonus round. Cheap laughs, but actually rather exciting; the time it takes to dig the holes waiting to see if you are successful, crossed with the already tense atmosphere created in the back setting really gets the heart racing!
A final payout option is the scatter symbol. With weighing scales playing the role of the scatter symbol, if the player manages to get ANY number of weighing scales on the reels they will win some sort of money, and of course the more scatter symbols the player manages to get on the reels, the more money they will win. If lucky enough to get 9 scatter symbols and fill the reels with them, the player will win the progressive jackpot.
Playtech’s “Gold Rally” is fast gaining a reputation on the internet as one of the best slot machines around, with reviews floating all around the web and most big online casinos hosting the game. The fact that “Gold Rally” is only available for real money play as apposed to free play, shows that it is a serious games for serious players.
