Gold Blitz

The best way to describe Gold Blitz, a slot created by Fortune Factory Studios on behalf of Games Global, is that it does exactly what it says on the tin. The title of the release includes the word gold, and there is plenty of it on show here. And, let’s face it, players spin the reels of slots in the hope of winning some gold of their own.

It’d be unfair to suggest Gold Blitz, which plays out across six reels and has 4,096 ways to win, is lacking an overall theme, but it appears the direction given to Fortune Factory Studios by Games Global was for them to focus more on the gameplay, the features and the winning potential, with the slot’s top prize being worth 5,000x the stake.

To be in with a chance of scooping the slot’s top prize, players can spin the reels of this gold-plated slot from 0.20, with a maximum stake of 50.00 possible. And, as we mentioned above, it’s the gameplay and the features where the game really comes alive.

We'll tell you about the design, but it is slightly random, especially when you consider the symbols that will appear on the game's six reels. For example, there are royals, which are the staple lower payers of most video slots. But then there are also the traditional icons you'd expect to see in retro releases, with gold bells and gold horseshoes featured.

Of course, it’s great to see that the gold theme runs throughout, which is important in some ways. And this premise is furthered by stacks of gold coins and stacks of gold bars also featuring as symbols on the reels. So, in essence, everything relates to gold, and gold also represents prizes that players are out to win.

The wild icon in Gold Blitz can appear on all reels apart from the first, which means that while it may substitute for other regular symbols, it can’t form its own winning combinations.

There are fixed jackpots in the game worth between 25x and 2,500x the stake, and these, along with the cash values that appear on the game’s six reels, can be collected, but only if the special icons are also present at the same time to activate the Collect mechanic.

Three scatters in view on the reels will give players a choice between a free spins feature, where there will be between eight and thirty rounds to play through, with multipliers worth between 2x and 5x in play, and the Gold Blitz bonus, where there will be two or more spins, plus Collect icons, with only cash, jackpot and blank symbols appearing. Determining which bonus round to play is always going to be down to personal preference, as they can both be rewarding.

Fortune Factory Studios' Gold Blitz is a very straightforward slot with no airs and graces. Sometimes it's best to have a game in front of you that does exactly what it says on the tin, so players know precisely what they're getting. And in Gold Blitz, they do. It may not be the best-looking or most refined game, but the gameplay and features more than make up for that. Why not try this and other slots at Gala Spins now
