Hit The Gold (3 Oaks Gaming (Booongo)) – Review & Demo Play

Hit The Gold Symbols and Paytable

Hit The Gold runs on a 5x3 reel set with 25 ways to play. Three or more matching symbols from the leftmost create wins. The set holds 8 regulars split into highs and lows. A–J royals pay 2x your bet for five. The premium lot climbs from pickaxes, bowls, and bags to the dog. Those go from 4x to 10x the stake for five. The miner serves as Wild and pays 12x for a 5-of-a-kind. It also substitutes to help you score wins.

Three or more matching symbols landing adjacently from the leftmost count. The Scatter shows up and pays x1 for 3, which ties into features. During free games only high symbols are present on the reels, while the lows are omitted. Gold symbols can appear anywhere and will be key for the Hold and Win. The layout stays clear, and the values top out with that 12x Wild for five. That keeps the paytable tidy and easy to scan.

Hit the Gold Slot Features

Landing 3 Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 activates 8 Free Spins. I like that landing 3 more Scatters during the feature gives +8 extra spins. During the free games only high symbols are present, which trims the lows and sharpens the hit potential. The base game still flows, but the feature steps things up when the reels switch to that special set. Wilds help out and the miner can complete premium wins.

Six or more Gold symbols trigger the Hold and Win bonus with streak-style respins. Players receive 3 respins and move to special reels that only show bonus symbols. Each new gold symbol locks and resets the counter back to 3. The symbols land with a random cash value from 1x to 16x the bet. It is a simple loop, and the grid builds as the hits stick. That keeps the feature lively.

During the bonus, a jackpot symbol can appear and award a fixed cash prize. The set goes Mini Jackpot 20x, Mini Jackpot 50x, and Mini Jackpot 150x. A mystery Dynamite can also show and reveal one of those prizes at the end. Filling the entire reels with bonus symbols pays the Grand Jackpot of 2,000x the bet. That cap is the headline number here and the route to the advertised max win.

Review Summary for Hit The Gold

Hit The Gold looks charming underground, with high-end cartoonish graphics, smooth animations, and a jolly soundtrack. The standard 5x3 reel set with 25 ways to play and a medium volatile model keeps it steady. RTP sits at 95.66%, which is lower-than-average, but the features do the heavy lifting. You can set a bet from €0.25 per spin, and the game can pay up to 2,000x the stake. For me, it’s a fun slot worth a spin if you’re into the mining theme.
