Gold Nugget Rush – Hold & Win is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from BetSoft set against the California Gold Rush. The game has 25 paylines, very high volatility, an RTP of 96.07% and a hit rate of 23.67%. In the demo version, players can play for free and study the layout before playing for real money.
The main feature is Hold & Win, which starts when 6 BONUS symbols land, or when 5 BONUS symbols appear with 1 BOOST symbol. This triggers three respins, while the BOOST symbol increases the values of BONUS symbols during the feature. The Mystery Bonus can then turn into MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MEGA or BOOST prizes.
Additional features include Gold Rush, which gives bonus symbols a chance to trigger Hold & Win in the base game and Free Spins, and a Free Spins round awarded by 3 SCATTER symbols for 8 spins with high-paying symbols only. WILD symbols substitute for most symbols, and stacked mystery positions are filled with the same random symbol before each spin.
