Rules of the Black Gold Slot
The basic icons of the slot are located on the right side of the horseman. To choose the settings, use these buttons:
The Plus/Minus icons located on the sides of Bet Per Line control the number of credits placed per payline. The Plus/Minus icons located on the sides of Select Lines control the number of paylines, with 1 to 30 active lines available.
The five reels are activated by such buttons as Spin (manual mode), Max Bet Spin (maximum bet and number of lines), and Autoplay (automatic mode). There is no double game, but the bonus round has a similar structure.
Symbols, Winnings, and Bonuses
In this game, Ol’ Bill is the most highly paid symbol that can bring you up to 400 credits. His old trusty horse can earn you a bit less. Oil Barrels can bring you up to 100 credits, and Cowboy Hat – payouts with up to 80 multipliers.
The symbols that can earn you 2 to 60 credits include:
- Rig
- Valve
- Trophy on the wall
- No Trespassing sign
Three Barn Scatter symbols present on the reels in any position trigger free spins. The symbol itself turns into a wild symbol and multiplies your winnings for combinations in which it is present. The multiplier grows with every spin and can reach 10.
The Click Me round, providing instant payouts, is triggered by three Drill symbols present in any position on the reels. You will be offered to search for oil deposits, and receive payouts in case of success. The main bonus game is activated by the Pump symbol present on the first, second and fifth reel. It takes you to a high-or-low guessing game, where four correct guesses will bring you payouts.
After each winning combination, you can spin the central reel again until the prize combos are over. The payout range grows by 2, 3 and 5 with each spin. The current multiplier is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen.
How to Win the Black Gold Slot
One of the most profitable features of Black Gold is the second-screen bonus round. It gives you as high chance to win as the double game, but you do not risk your winnings. Therefore, raise your bet until you hit three Drill symbols. After the prize round, go back to the minimal bet.
