Where’s the Gold is a slot game based on the theme of gold rush that took place in some countries, and follows the adventures of an old gold digger still searching for the precious metal. It is a slot, or pokies game, by the leading Australian games developer, Aristocrat Gaming, who are well known for their colourful and unusual slots games. This game is ideal for all players, both high and low stake players, as the percentage payout is very attractive. Where’s the Gold has been played in land based casinos for some time, and was brought online by Aristocrat’s partnership with Nextgen Gaming. All the symbols, characters and the sound are identical to what you will find at the land casino.
Dynamite and Gold Nuggets Play their Part

The Free Spins Round is the Main Attraction

Before this feature can be activated, the player will be asked to pick out a character to dig out the gold nuggets. The characters you can choose from are Mary Money, Nugget Ned, Peter Panner, Professor Gold and Happy Lucky. When you have decided on one of these individuals, all of them, including the one that you selected, will dig out bonus gold nuggets. They have a limited time to do this, after which the free spins are awarded. The number of free spins you are awarded is equal to the number of nuggets dug out by the character you have chosen. During the free spins, the regular symbols are replaced by extra Wild Gold symbols, and the more you get, the more possibilities of winning combinations you will get. The Wild symbols for the free spins feature are listed on the top of the screen.
