Rocky’s Gold Ultraways (Northern Lights) – Review & Demo Play

Rocky’s Gold Ultraways Slot, Details & Wager Limits

The Rocky’s Gold Ultraways slot runs on a 5-reel setup with the Ultraways engine that lets positions land as single, double, or quad symbols. This drives the win count up to over 60 million ways, paying left to right from reel 1. Stakes start at 50p and cap at £20 per spin. The hit rate sits at 31.20%, so near a third of spins can land something. Playable on desktop, mobile, and tablet, it feels stable across screen sizes.

RTP is 96.12% by default with high volatility, and the top payout is 11,500x your stake. Some venues run alternative RTP settings, so check the info panel. With variable symbol sizes, the ways meter can swing a lot between spins, and you’ll often see far fewer than the headline number. I found the round-to-round texture fair: bursts of action around features, and stretches where the grid teases without delivering. Session swings felt standard.

Theme - things can get wild with dynamite in Rocky’s Gold Ultraways

The theme sticks to gold mining. The reels sit by a mountain-side entrance to the mine, and the audio leans on a jaunty banjo that fits the Western vibe. Rocky stands to the left at times, popping in when a hit feels close, or before he lobs dynamite. Visuals are clean, bold, and clear on smaller screens, though I preferred a larger display to take in the symbol splits when the Ultraways engine starts ramping up.

Symbols in Rocky’s Gold Ultraways

A–J Royals make up the lower tier. For 3 to 10 of a kind across adjacent reels you’re looking at 0.05x to 0.5x on J and Q, and 0.1x to 0.75x on K and A. Because positions can carry single, double, or quad symbols, counts scale fast, and hit evaluations reflect the total symbol size per reel. It’s a simple list to learn, and it helps to track how the splits inflate the combo length.

The higher symbols are green, blue, and red gemstones plus the RG logo. Ten of a kind pays from 0.9x up to 1.1x, with RG on top. The Wild substitutes for all pay symbols and matches the RG pay for pure Wild wins, which matters when dynamite floods the grid. Bonus symbols act as scatters; land three in view to start Free Spins. Wilds and bonuses can appear as singles, doubles, or quads, aligning with the Ultraways format.

Rocky’s Gold Ultraways Bonus Features

Rocky can trigger the Dynamite Wild Bonus at random, tossing up to six sticks that turn symbols into Wilds. The replacements respect the symbol size, so a quad becomes four Wilds on that position. In my sessions it was pretty rare, but the one-time blast did push a mid-range hit over the line. It’s a tidy base game nudge, and it gains extra bite when the grid is already running high symbol counts.

Three Bonus symbols trigger Free Spins, and two can tease a Rocky Respin that tries to add the third. Before spinning, you pick one rock from ten to set a free spins amount and a win multiplier, or to collect an Upgrade. Up to two upgrades are possible, improving both picks. Typical awards span 5, 8, 10, or 12 spins with multipliers between 1x and 5x. Free Spins can retrigger with three Bonuses, keeping the same setup.

Outside the UK, you can buy the feature for 55x your stake and go straight to the rock pick. In the bonus, the chosen multiplier applies to every spin, not just wins, and Rocky’s dynamite shows up more often than in the base game. That extra wild pressure matters with split symbols, as it extends combinations and helps premium lines reach the upper payout band. It’s where the slot’s best returns tend to drop.

Rocky’s Gold Ultraways Review Summary - a solid improvement vs the original

Ultraways gives Rocky’s Gold Ultraways its edge, while the presentation keeps things readable. The 50p to £20 stake range is a bit narrow, but the 96.12% RTP, 31.20% hit rate, and 11,500x ceiling form a fair spec. RTP ranges exist across markets, so double-check the figure where you play. I enjoyed the rock pick rhythm and the odd dynamite burst, though base play can drift between events. If you like mining themes, this is a tidy, feature-led take.
