- An interesting mining theme with a simple design
- Lucky Swedes offer lots of wild symbols
- Unique free spins bonus can pay out well
Mine and Melt slot from Quickspin is a new, relatively volatile game with a mining theme, something that’s surprisingly common in slots although I guess it relates to getting gold so that makes some sense. This one is more modest visually, with no animations going on in the background and a rather simple-looking design in general. The reel layout is clear though, with 4 of these along with 4 rows to give you 256 ways to win. You’ll want to look out for the base symbols as these are needed to pay out. A matching combination of any of the following will give you a reward:
- 10, Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Hat or Lantern
- Pick Axe or Dish
- Gold

Mine And Melt Slot Bonuses And Features
Three Lucky Swedes. These gentleman are wild symbols, meaning they substitute for all others in a winning combination to help generate more wins. At any point during the base game, reels 2, 3 and 4 can randomly convert into these wilds. What’s more, they can have random multipliers on them of value 2x, 3x or 4x.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3 or more bonus symbols anywhere on the screen at the same time. Just 3 will give you the regular bonus, but 4 will give you the super bonus.
Regular Free Spins Bonus. With this you start off with 3 lives and each spin uses up a life. You can only land smeltdown or collector symbols here, and landing a symbol will reset your lives back to 3. Land 2 collector symbols of equal value next to each other and they will merge. When a smeltdown lands, it multiplies its value of 2x by all collector symbols. Future collector symbols are also multiplied by the multiplier.
Super Free Spins Bonus. This plays out in the same way as the regular bonus, but it’s improved. You have 4 lives instead of 3, and they reset back to 4 as well when you land a symbol. Additionally, smeltdown multipliers have a value of 4x instead of 2x.
Bonus Buy. This option is available outside the U.K. only. You can buy the regular bonus for a reasonable 60x your stake, or if you want to spice things up you can buy the super bonus for a much higher 330x your stake.
Conclusion
Mine And Melt slot from Quickspin may not look that dramatic, but the main bonus is quite exciting. You’ll want to get some good multipliers here to end up with a high value, and this is much easier in the super bonus where you have double multipliers, along with an extra life which can make a big difference as it should last longer. The base game also offers some multiplier wilds which are a nice touch and can do quite well if you get enough of them. Overall, I quite like it. It’s not that unique, but it’s done well and offers a nice win potential up to 5,504x your stake.
