Gold Canyon Slot

In fact, there is no need to dig mud and split rock in order to find gold. It is much easier to win it when shuffling cards with a sheriff in a quiet saloon. Stakes in the game are fairly affordable and vary from $0.01 to $1.00 per line. As the sheriff keeps all paylines always active, the total stake in the game keeps within the range between $0.20 and $20. This is the only adjustment required to play the video slot and win. Wins are brought by symbols hitting 20 fixed paylines. There are 11 regular symbols: 4 standard icons (playing cards from J to A), 5 mid symbols (a card deck, Wanted poster, horseshoe, sheriff’s star and lantern) and 2 high symbols (a horse and golden nugget). These regular icons are qualified as standard, mid and high because of the payout they award. Standard regular icons pay between x3 and x80 the line bet, mid icons pay from x5 to x500 the line bet and high symbols offer wins starting at x5 and extending to x10,000 the line bet. This is up to $10,000 in money terms at a $1.00 line bet, a trophy as good as a golden nugget or even better as there is no need to dig tons of mud to find it: all it takes is a visit to an online casino featuring the video slot and, of course, a bit of luck. The sheriff is not just a partner to this slot machine, he is a helping hand because he works as a wild symbol and a very special one. As a wild, the sheriff hits any line in any mode and expands to cover an entire reel. Wilds may come at several reels at once and when they do so, they expand and leave a player with several wild reels and hopefully with pockets full of gold. A scatter looks like a bunch of boom sticks of immense explosive power and works exactly as dynamite. This powerful work is well-animated and brings an Explosive Fun feature. It really makes a visit to an online casino look like gold digging and adds a lot of fun into the gameplay.

When 3 or more supercharged scatters hit the reels, the best fun begins. Firstly, the slot machine pays out scatter awards earned in the triggering round. Depending on the number of scatters in that round (at least 3 and 15 at best), they pay from x0.5 to x50 the total bet. Then scatters explode and a cascade happens: random symbols take the positions emptied by explosions. If there is any win brought by newly arrived icons, the video slot pays them and the feature proceeds. It grants free spins, the number of which is equal to the number of explosive scatters in the triggering round, so there can be at least 3 or as many as 15 free spins. Scatters can appear during free spins as well and work the same way as in the triggering round. If a free spin brings about 3+ scatters, they explode and every blast awards 1 extra free spin, that is, 3 or more extra free spins in total. Of course, they pay out an award from x0.5 to x50 the total bet (up to $1,000 at max if the online casino game is played for real money). This bonus feature is a true decoration of the gameplay and gives a lot of joy to players, not to speak of nice cash prizes it adds to the bankroll.

The Double Up game is a valuable bonus addition. It is very simple to play and at that it is extremely exciting especially when played for real money. It lets players double their wins which is an important aspect given the relatively moderate level of payouts offered by this video slot. A Double Up round is played as a coin tossing game. The bet is a win in a base spin or 50% of it. The bet is placed on heads or tails and a flip of the coin does the trick and reveals the outcome of the bonus game. A lucky guess doubles the stake and the next round is offered again and again; a player may go on with coin tossing and play the bonus game with no limits. The feature ends when a player chooses to press the Collect button and take the total win earned in the course of the feature or when a player makes an incorrect guess.

Gold Canyon is a 5-reel 20-line slot machine by Betsoft developing the Wild West and gold digging theme.
