Games Global exclusive studio Slingshot Studios has launched Gold Boom™, an underground adventure filled with exciting features such as free spins, Upsizer™, wilds and thrilling jackpots. Players are guided to the potential top prize of 5,650x the bet by zany miner, Doug Deep.
Gold Boom™ uniquely blends vibrant graphics with thrilling gameplay mechanics, instantly engaging players on their hunt for treasures. Each feature is designed not just for entertainment but to significantly increase chances of winning, from special symbols that trigger dynamic bonus rounds to free spins with added perks.
The Mine Carts feature introduces an extra layer of excitement on every spin. As carts appear randomly above reel five, they carry potential rewards which can be unlocked by landing a wild symbol directly beneath them.
Each of the five distinct mine carts offers everything from extra scatters and walking wild reels to wild multipliers that boost every win they are a part of by up to 5x. This feature not only enhances the gameplay but also increases the chances of striking gold with each spin.
The collection prize in Gold Boom™ is a thrilling quest for symbols that can translate into cash rewards. Players collect letters to form the words MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, or GRAND, each unlocking a specific prize.
Free spins are triggered by landing three or more scatters, which takes players to a round where mine carts grace every reel, each spin potentially unlocking one of four exclusive free spins features. Options include collection prize free spins, walking wild reels free spins, wild reels free spins, and wild multipliers free spins.
Adding more thrills is the Upsizer™ feature modifier. This allows players to purchase one of four cart-based features for an action-packed experience, while the Bonus Recharge™ lets players buy an additional spin at the end of the round, keeping the excitement alive.
Slingshot Studios began to take shape in 2016, bringing together a crew of gambling industry veterans, new blood and everything in-between. The studio team is made up of diverse bunch of creators, who are driven by the shared belief that great design comes from constant iteration and innovation, and breaking things to learn. Having achieved great success with the likes of award-winning Links of Ra™ and its hit sequel, Links of Ra II™, the studio is poised to deliver even more of a stand-out performance with this latest release.
Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Gold Boom™ is an ‘ore-some’ new mining-themed slot from Slingshot Studios. Players can join our delightfully unhinged prospector Doug Deep and unearth all the riches this mine has to offer.
“Gold Boom™ is our second game to feature the amazing new Bonus Recharge™. Players are loving this feature, which allows them to purchase an additional free spin at the end of their free spins run to extend the experience. This can be done multiple times per session to up the ante. The game also offers a random chance to win the GRAND or MAJOR prizes in the base game with the chance for special random Jackpot spins to occur.
“As you can see, Gold Boom™ definitely has a lot to offer, so take your pick and dig in!”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “Slingshot Studios has again added something very special to our portfolio in the shape of Gold Boom™, which is set for explosive performance.
“The game’s features combine traditional slot mechanics with innovative bonuses and dynamic ways to win. Whether it’s the anticipation of collecting that next letter for a grand prize or the thrill of activating a unique free spins feature, Gold Boom™ promises players an unforgettable mining adventure, whilst digging up great results for operators.
