Slot Review – California Gold

Mining is and was hard work. It’s a dangerous job, but definitely falls under the “someone’s got to do it” category of professions. It’s hard to tell how many brave men lost their lives underground trying to drag gold from the earth with pickaxes and dim lamps strapped to their heads. California Gold is centered around mining for gold. It’s an appropriate theme, given the massive amount of cash that you can win playing this online slot! Grab a pan and some dynamite, folks – this game is the real deal!

California Gold is a fairly recent online slot title by PartyGaming. It sports five reels and twenty paylines of action. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to fifteen dollars, with max coins of twenty. We know that in these tough economic times three hundred dollars per spin sounds like a lot, but keep in mind that this little baby sports a five thousand coin jackpot. Do the math – that’s seventy-five thousand dollars. That’s a whole lot of gold!

The graphics of this game are bright and lively, and reflect the theme well. You’ll see barrels, old-fashioned kerosene lamps, pickaxes, and treasure maps among other symbols. The miner is the wild symbol, and the cart full of gold is the scatter symbol. Get at least three of these anywhere on the reels during a single spin and take advantage of the free spin bonus round, during which you get ten free spins at a triple multiplier! Heigh ho!
