Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot – Free Demo

A Collect Symbol on reels 1 and 6

Gold Blitz Ultimate is built around a Collect Symbol, found only on reels 1 and 6, that awards every Cash and Jackpot symbol landing on the same spin.

Gold Blitz Ultimate makes use of a ways game system. It hands you the identical count of ways on each spin, and as the game ships with 6 reels, you receive a total of 6,400 ways to win. Way wins start on the leftmost reel and pay left to right across adjacent reels only.

Symbols on the reels comprise the customary low-value A to 9 playing cards, and the top symbols, which are 5 in all, are depicted by dollar signs, gold bars, gold coins, bells and horseshoes. Those five higher symbols also pay for 2 of a kind, while the cards need at least 3. Paying you 4 times your stake for 6 of a kind, the dollar sign is the most lucrative symbol. Gold bars and gold coins come next, each paying 2x the stake for 6 of a kind. The wild surfaces in the base game exclusively. It substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter, Cash Multiplier Increase, Cash, Jackpot and Collect symbols, and has no payout of its own.

What the Cash Multiplier carries into the free spins

In Gold Blitz Ultimate, the base game holds huge sway over the result of the free spins. The link between the two is a multiplier counter shown on screen during the base game. Called the Cash Multiplier, it begins at 1x. It applies to every Cash Symbol a Collect Symbol picks up, each worth 0.5x to 20x the total bet, but not to the five fixed Jackpots, which run from 10x the total bet for the Mini to 2,500x for the Grand. It receives a 1x lift every instance you hit a Cash Multiplier Increase Symbol on reels 2 to 5, so if you were to hit one on reel 3, for instance, the multiplier rises from 1x to 2x. In the base game it tops out at 5x, and unless the Free Spins Bonus has been triggered it drops back to 1x once a cash collection has finished.

It all converges in the Choose Your Blitz Free Spins Bonus. It is activated when 3 or 4 scatter symbols emerge in sight concurrently, and this will hand you a selection of 8, 12 or 15 free spins or 12, 15 or 20 free spins correspondingly. The shorter options come with more Cash and Jackpot Symbols per reel, so the 3 Scatter menu pairs 8 spins with 60, 12 with 40 and 15 with 20. Once inside, the Cash Multiplier collected during the base game is currently your opening multiplier, and every Cash Multiplier Increase Symbol will raise the multiplier by 1, exactly like in the base game. Only Collect, Collect Retrigger, Retrigger, Cash Multiplier Increase, Cash and Jackpot symbols appear during the feature, every other position is blank, and the multiplier can climb as far as 10x. Furthermore, another free spin will be credited to your count if you hit a Retrigger or Collect Retrigger symbol. Back in the base game, Collect symbols on reels 1 and 6 with no Cash or Jackpot symbols beside them award a Respin Feature, in which reels 2 to 5 spin again with only Cash symbols, Jackpot symbols and blanks, and at least one Cash or Jackpot symbol is guaranteed.

The Minty Take: The session’s biggest win came outside the bonus, on spin 264, where a Respin Feature paid 15,150 credits, 303x the stake, after the Cash Multiplier was raised to 10x on the final respin.

Spin 291 and a full Bonus Collect Meter

Gold Blitz Ultimate is a slot where you don't wish to activate the bonus too early, opposite to what you may be accustomed to. Contrariwise, matters do become really heated when you build that multiplier up to 5x and it sets you loose on the free spins. Gold Blitz Ultimate also keeps a Bonus Collect Meter, which moves up whenever 2 Scatters land on reels 2, 3 or 4 without triggering the bonus, and in the session a full meter delivered the third bonus on spin 291.

It is one that will split players between those who relish the slog and those who are searching for something more 'straightforward'. The session behind this review ran 330 spins at a 50-credit stake, 68 of them paid, and the longest run without a win lasted 14 spins.

Gold Blitz Ultimate is a six-reel slot, and what you receive is a 6,400 ways package. The Choose Your Blitz Free Spins Bonus came up three times in the session, paying 58x, 78x and 100x the stake, the last from 8 free spins with 60 Cash and Jackpot Symbols per reel, and none of them retriggered. If, and when, you do activate the bonus, it'd better be a decent one, or the uphill ascent will look like a sheer one. The slot shows a propensity to strike a heap of dead spins despite all the win ways.
