Gold Blitz Extreme Slot Review

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, and Cupid are some of the reindeer names mentioned by Clement Clark Moore in his 1823 poem, The Night Before Christmas. 🎅🎄

If you know your festive season stuff, you’ll have picked up the two missing ones: Donner and Blitzen. They’re my favorites because those names have very specific meanings in Afrikaans (one of the 11 official languages of South Africa, where I was born).

Donner means to hit someone, as does Blixem, which is the Dutch equivalent of Blitzen. And trust me, if you were an English-speaking kid in SA, you got blixemed a lot. 👊💥😵‍💫

I’m writing this review of Gold Blitz Extreme slot from Quickfire on the eve of my first Christmas outside South Africa.

It’ll be weird not to get the tar kicked out of me by brandy-drinking, khaki-wearing farmers who go to church to repent their many sins on Sunday, but I am looking forward to the prospect of making some much-needed moolah. Let’s see if this game delivers. 💸

Gameplay

Neon colors and a funky soundtrack assault the senses when you fire up Gold Blitz Extreme slot. There’s not much to say about the design, so I’ll get into the stats – which is what y’all are interested in anyway.

This game offers 4,096 ways to win, a 96% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., and a very high volatility rate. The maximum multiplier is 5,500x, and the top payout is a healthy $247,500. As for the currency you’ll need to play with, that’s gotta be fiat moolah – with the exception of the Japanese yen.

The Wild symbol replaces all others except for Scatters, Cash, and Collect symbols. You’ll see Wilds on reels 2 to 6 in the base game, and on reels 2 to 4 during Free Spins.

Features

COLLECT FEATURE:

There are two relevant symbols to take note of: the Cash Collect one (look for the lightning bolt), and the Cash symbol (it’s a gold square with a blue rectangle overlaid on top of it).

Landing both of these symbols triggers the Collect feature. Collect symbols award the values of any landed Cash symbols.

BONUS CHOICE (FREE SPINS):

Landing 3 to 6 Scatters – which pay in any position, by the way – initiates this feature. As the name suggests, you’ll be able to choose between 4 options at the start:

• Option 1: 3 Scatters = 1x multiplier and a choice between 8 Free Spins OR 2 spins in Gold Blitz
• Option 2: 4 Scatters = 2x multiplier and a choice between 12 spins OR 3 spins in Gold Blitz
• Option 3: 5 Scatters = 3x multiplier and a choice between 20 spins OR 5 spins in Gold Blitz
• Option 4: 6 Scatters = 5x multiplier and a choice between 30 spins OR 7 spins in Gold Blitz

GOLD BLITZ:

Once again, there are 2 symbols to watch out for in this feature: the Collect Re-trigger symbol (a lightning bolt with a +1), and the Re-trigger symbol (a +1 in a circle).

Both symbols appear on reel 6 and the Collect Re-trigger one awards all landed Cash symbols’ values and gives you an additional Gold Blitz spin. The Re-trigger symbol also awards 1 Gold Blitz spin.

The Collect symbol is guaranteed to land on the first reel with each spin. Oh, and it’s possible to snatch 100x multipliers during this feature!

RE-SPIN FEATURE:

If you land a Collect symbol on reels 1 and 6 but you don’t land a Cash symbol at the same time, and you don’t trigger the Bonus Choice, you’ll still be awarded a re-spin. And the cool thing is that 1 or more Cash symbols are guaranteed to land.

RISING REWARDS JACKPOT:

Do you see that bowl to the left of the grid? That’s where you collect Tokens, and you do this by landing a Cash symbol without landing a Collect symbol. Each time you do this, at least one of the Jackpots is increased by up to 1x.

Accumulating Tokens also boosts your chance of triggering the Jackpot feature, and not only can you win Jackpot prizes, but you can be awarded Cash Prizes as well.

At least 1 Jackpot will be awarded; once that happens, the amount will be reset.

• Mega Jackpot: Starts at 1,000x and maxes out at 2,500x
• Major Jackpot: Starts at 100x and maxes out at 250x
• Minor Jackpot: Starts at 10x and maxes out at 50x
• Mini Jackpot: Starts at 5x and maxes out at 25x

P.S.: Jackpot amounts are linked to your stake, so the more you bet, the more you can win.

RISING REWARDS BONUS MULTIPLIER:

The Bonus Multiplier – you’ll see it above the Jackpot meter – applies to all wins during the Free Spins round and the Gold Blitz feature.

You’ll increase the multiplier by 0.5x whenever 2 Scatters land in the base game on reels 1 to 5; as long as the Bonus Choice isn’t triggered. The most you can accumulate during the base game is 5x and the multiplier resets to 1x after Free Spins or the Gold Blitz feature end.

BUY BONUS:

You can buy any of the 4 options I listed in the Bonus Choice above. Option 1 costs 30x; Option 2 costs 50x; Option 3 costs 80x; and Option 4 costs 120x.

Performance

Gold Blitz Extreme slot performed pleasantly (I’m having an alliteration kinda day).

Maximum Win

Bet $40 a pop for a chance to land the $247,500 top payout. You’ll need to hit the 5,500x max multiplier to do so, but I have faith in you, bro. If forty bucks is too rich for your pockets, fear not – you can bet from as little as $0.20.

Conclusion

Gold Blitz Extreme slot is a game that might not be easy to get to grips with if you’re a newbie, so I’d recommend it for more advanced players.

It’s got enough features to keep your mind from wandering too much (these will take a minute to get to grips with), and I like how you get options in the Free Spins feature and Bonus Buy. Hooray for freedom of choice!

If I have to nitpick, I’d say that the top payout could’ve been slightly more generous, considering the volatility rate is “very high,” but seriously, I wouldn’t complain if I landed almost a quarter of a million.

So, if you’re into challenging games that don’t follow the same dreary trend as every other slot out there, check out Gold Blitz Extreme slot.
