  • A long time favourite of mine, with a great variety of bonuses
  • One of the few Inspired Gaming slots that started life on £100 jackpot
  • A choice of multiple Fortune Spin levels, including the Jackpot Game 

Gold Fever has been a favourite of mine since its launch on £500 jackpot. Although this slot started life on £100 jackpot pub slots, the £500 jackpot plays far better than many other slots. With a nice choice of bonuses, plus gamble options and various Fortune Spin choices, each showing the long-term odds so you can decide on your level of volatility.

  1. Progressive Cash Pots:

    • These grow with every spin, increasing the potential reward.

  2. Bonus Activation:

    • The base game transforms into a mine scene, with three trails of gold, silver, and bronze bags awaiting your selection.

  3. Bag Selection:

    • Pick bags to reveal hidden treasures. Match three identical symbols to claim a prize from the corresponding pot.

Streak Spins Bonus

Ignite the reels by landing three or more dynamite scatter symbols:

    • Select a ‘Pick Me’ symbol to detonate and reveal the number of streak spins awarded.

  2. Guaranteed Wins:

    • Each Streak Spin guarantees a win or bonus award.

    • The more trigger symbols you land, the higher the number of streak spins you’ll typically receive.

    • Gold Rush and Pot Picker can be awarded during the Streak Spins

Gold Rush Board Bonus

This feature is triggered by landing three or more miner scatter symbols. Once activated:

  1. Game Board Setup:

    • The board appears on the base and top screens.

  2. Dice Rolls:

    • Press “Start” to roll the dice and move around the board, landing on highlighted squares with cash values.

Gold Fever Fortune Spins

Multi Gamble Feature

This feature allows you to gamble your winnings for higher stakes or entry into bonus games:

  1. Three Wheels:

    • Tap any wheel to gamble winnings. Landing on green awards a cash prize or bonus, while red forfeits your winnings and ends the gamble.

    • The feature and cash gamble option is only available in the regular base game. Fortune Spins only offers a cash gamble option.
  2. Wheel Options:

    • Left Wheel: Entry to Gold Rush, Super Gold Rush, or Mega Gold Rush Bonuses.

  3. Adjustable Segments:

    • Use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ arrows to modify wheel segments and adjust risk levels.

Cash Gamble

If your feature win is less than £500, you may opt for the Cash Gamble:

  1. Partial or Full Gamble:

    • Choose to gamble all or part of your original win.

  2. Winning Outcomes:

    • Landing on green increases winnings to the value shown in the ‘Gamble’ meter. Red forfeits your win.

  3. Auto-Collect:

    • If no gamble is initiated within 30 seconds, winnings are automatically collected.

Conclusion:

Gold Fever is a very good game, with a great deal of bonuses and gamble options. It’s not too shy of awarding the Pot Picker, nor the Super and Mega versions of Gold Rush. I think this slot will stand the test of time and be a player favourite for some time yet. Whether it ever competes with Rainbow Riches remains to be seen, but it’s a great addition to the £500 jackpot choice of slots.
