Rolling in Gold Gameplay

Rolling in Gold is set on an unconventional grid with six reels: the first two have three rows while the remainder have four. This layout, combined with no paylines, gives players 2304 ways to win on every spin. Landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel, awards a payout. While this typically leads to faster-paced gameplay, Rolling in Gold’s high volatility means players should expect long spells of dead spins.

This is what you can expect to win with a £1 stake for each symbol:

Symbols	3 matching symbols	4 matching symbols	5 matching symbols	6 matching symbols
Red / Orange / Blue Gems	0.20	0.4	0.60	1.00
Mining Tools	0.40	0.6	1.00	2.00
Horse / Bag of Gold	0.50	1.00	1.50	2.50
Gold Cart	0.60	1.00	2.00	5.00
Gold Digger	1.00	5.00	10.00	15.00

The increase from the lowest paying symbol to the highest paying one is gradual, making every win feel meaningful.

Theme and Story of the Rolling in Gold Slot

Rolling in Gold is based on the American gold rush of the 1800s. Set inside a mine, nuggets of gold shimmer in the background, although the reels take up most of the space as the main focus. As a stereotypical gold digger, you’re hoping to find your fortune in the American Midwest.

The paying symbols follow this treasure-seeking theme. Three different coloured gems represent the lowest payouts of up to 1x your stake. Then you’ll find a pickaxe and shovel, a lamp-bearing helmet and a lantern awarding up to 2x your bet. Slightly above that are the horse and a bag of gold, offering up to 2.5x your bet. The overflowing cart of gold can pay up to 5x your stake, while the highest paying symbol is the gold digger himself, going all the way up to 15x your bet.

Graphics, Sounds and Vibes

To accompany your hunt for golden treasure, a traditional Western banjo theme plays continuously in the background, with a few subtle sound effects thrown in during the reel spins. The graphics mix exaggerated, cartoon-like elements with painted realism, adding a charming touch, especially with the horse’s toothy grin.

The gold digger character becomes more prominent, sharing quirky catchphrases as the grid transforms for the Gold Spins and Super Spins rounds.

Here’s what a fellow CasinoTopsOnline expert writer thought about the vibes of the Rolling in Gold slot:

Rolling in Gold Slot on mobile

While the Rolling in Gold slot is available to play on mobile in portrait and landscape mode, it hasn’t been fully optimised and the layout isn’t as user-friendly as on other online slots. The spin button is partially concealed by the balance and payout bar in portrait mode, while in the landscape version, the bar covers the bottom reels.

The main difference between portrait and landscape mode is the position of the spin button – it sits to the right of the reels in landscape mode, just like on desktop, and beneath the grid in portrait mode.

I asked CasinoTopsOnline’s top reviewer for his thoughts on Rolling in Gold’s mobile play. Here’s what he had to say:

Rolling in Gold Slot Bonus Features

Rolling in Gold features some interesting mechanics that make the game feel fresh and different from similarly themed slots. Let’s take a look at them:

2304 Ways To Win

Instead of traditional fixed paylines, Rolling in Gold awards a payout for landing at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, no matter their position, starting from the leftmost reel. Combined with the unusual grid layout of 6 reels with varying rows, this means there are 2,304 potential ways to win on every spin.

Mystery Symbol

The barrel of TNT Mystery Symbol can land on any reel and typically, more than one will land across the grid. Once the spin ends, the mystery symbols explode to reveal one of the paying symbols, leading to potentially more rewarding wins. All mystery symbols on the grid at that time will transform into the same symbol.

Wild Symbol

A stack of dynamite acts as the wild symbol in this slot, substituting for all symbols except the scatters to help complete winning combinations and potentially increase payouts. It also works alongside the scatters to trigger the bonus rounds.

Scatter Symbols

There are two scatter symbols in this game – a gold nugget and a shiny diamond. These can land anywhere on the reels and have a prize amount displayed on them. Landing two wild symbols plus one of either scatters takes you through to the Gold Spins bonus round.

Gold Spins

Where most online slots have a free spins bonus round, Rolling in Gold offers a Gold Spins round where you are taken to a 4x4 reel grid with three free spins to try and land as many gold nugget prizes as possible. For every new gold nugget that locks on the grid, you’re awarded an extra three spins. At the end of the spins, any cash prizes remaining on the grid are collected. If you’re lucky enough to land a diamond symbol during any of your spins, you’ll then be taken to the Super Spins bonus.

Super Spins

Each diamond symbol that lands in the Gold Spins bonus round awards one Super Spin round. This is played on another 4x4 reel grid, but this time you’re trying to land diamond prizes. To the left of the grid is a random diamond multiplier up to 10x, which gets applied to your winnings at the end of this round.

Here’s what one of my fellow CasinoTopsOnline gaming experts thought about the Rolling in Gold bonus features:

Rolling in Gold Slot Wagering Details

While it’s important to understand the paytable and bonus features of a game, before you start spinning, it’s crucial to take a look at the maths behind the slot. The Rolling in Gold RTP sits at 95.45%, which is a little lower than the industry average of 96%. It’s something to bear in mind, especially as this is a high volatility slot.

RTP and Volatility

High volatility games are generally high risk, high reward, as payouts are typically less frequent but more significant. This makes the game a better choice for seasoned players than total beginners.

Bet Sizes and Variance

The minimum bet per spin on Rolling in Gold is £0.10, so it works for a range of player budgets. The UKGC recently introduced new regulations on the maximum stakes on slots: £2 for under-25s and £5 for those 25 and over.

Jackpots and Best Wins

Rolling in Gold’s maximum win is capped at an impressive 50,000x, so even though there are no jackpots, the game can be very rewarding. According to Slot Tracker data, the current highest recorded community win is 120x.

Bonus Frequency

There isn’t any publicly available data on the bonus frequency of Rolling in Gold, but as it’s a high volatility slot, bonuses are likely to land less frequently than with other games.

Testing the Rolling in Gold Slot with a £50 Bankroll

I took the Rolling in Gold demo for a spin with a hypothetical budget of £50 to get a first-hand look at how the game plays. I set my stake at £1 across 50 spins.

I didn’t land a win until my seventh spin, when a wild symbol helped bridge a gap and earned me £4.80. An abundance of gold bag symbols on spin 9 led to a payout of £3.60, and on spin 13, some lucky mystery symbols brought my balance back up to £49.40. I had a couple of smaller wins over the next few spins, but then nothing until my 36th and 37th spins, where I won £2.40 and £4.80 respectively. I had to wait another 10 spins before landing another win of £0.80, followed immediately by £0.40. I finished my session with a balance of £20.80, meaning an overall loss of £29.20.

High rollers who like to take big risks and enjoy a lot of features will likely prefer the NoLimit City slot Fire in the Hole 2, while Diamond Mine Megaways has a more general appeal, with the volatility being less extreme. Rolling in Gold’s volatility means the game is suited to those with an above-average bankroll rather than casual players.
