Gold Blitz Slot (Microgaming)

The Gold Blitz slot has 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed with a certain number of matching symbols landing from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, in any position and only on adjacent reels. With only the highest win per payline awarded, you need 3 or more of the low-value symbols or 2 or more for the higher-value symbols.

Bets-wise, Gold Blitz can be played from 20p to £50 per spin. To change your stake, use the plus or minus arrows below the reels. Prefer playing on your smartphone? The Coins icon is next to the Spin button below the reels. Oddly, there is no Autoplay function or Turbo Mode for non-UK players.

The Gold Blitz RTP rate is 96%. With only one RTP version available, it’s more or less the average for an online slot game. High volatility, the hit frequency rate is 30.51% meaning a winning combination will land 3.28 spins on average.

Lastly, the Gold Blitz slot comes with 5,000 times bet max wins. With no max win probability information, the bigger wins will come from the multipliers in the free spins.

The slot games are just the start as Chris deep dives into the slot sites to provide factual and insightful information as to where to play the games he so loves. 

With a gold/money theme, the Gold Blitz slot was released on the 20^th of December 2022. Full of electrifying energy, this production from Fortune Factory Studios (which is part of Games Global and known formerly as Microgaming), is a cash collect game which is fast-paced and glitzy.

You’ll notice the heavy metal rock soundtrack which doesn’t match the visuals but is welcome (my style of music) and adds to the intensity and high-energy gameplay. The backdrop is predominantly blue with the brightly-coloured symbols contrasting nicely.

On the reels, you will see A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals as well as gold horseshoes, gold bells, stacks of gold coins, gold bullion bars and a gold Dollar sign. The gold Dollar sign symbol is the highest paying awarding 5 times your total bet for 6 in combination.

Gold Blitz comes with a range of special symbols. There is a Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols and appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 during the base game and the 3 middle reels during the free spins. As you’ll discover below in the Bonus features section, there is a Collect symbol that collects Cash and Jackpot symbol values.

With a Bonus Scatter that gives you a Bonus Choice, there are wild multipliers during the free spins. Below, find a list of all symbol payouts and functions:

• 10/9: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 or 1 x bet
• Q/J: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.8, 1 or 1.2 x bet
• A/K: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 1.2 or 1.5 x bet
• Gold Horseshoe/Bell: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.8, 1.2, 1.5 or 2 x bet
• Gold Bullion Bars/Coins: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 or 2.5 x bet
• Gold Dollar Sign: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 5 x bet
• Wild: Substitutes for paying symbols
• Collect: Triggers Collect feature + collects Cash/Jackpot symbols
• Cash: Value awarded when landing with Collect symbol
• Jackpot: Value awarded when land with Collect symbol
• Bonus Scatter: 3+ awards Bonus Choice + pays up to 5 x bet
• Wild Multiplier: Applies 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier when part of a win during free spins

Gold Blitz Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, the Gold Blitz slot can be enjoyed on laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. If you play on mobile devices, you can play this high-energy game on iOS and Android smartphones. With Portrait Mode available, the best experience is on a desktop device for me.

With 4 bonus features, Gold Blitz is glitzy and electrifying. Land a Collect symbol with Cash and/or Jackpot symbols to collect their values including a Mega Jackpot worth 2,500 x bet. In the Bonus Choice, you choose from free spins with wild multipliers up to 5x or Gold Blitz spins with only Collect, Cash and Jackpot symbols. The latter guarantees a win on each spin too.

Collect

There is a Collect symbol that appears on reels 1 and 6 during the base game and the Gold Blitz feature. When the Collect symbol lands, it triggers the Collect feature. Each Collect symbol collects all Cash and Jackpot symbols on the reels. Cash symbols are worth 0.5 to 20 times your total bet.

The Jackpot Meter (to the side of the reels on desktop devices or above the reels on a smartphone) displays the value of all jackpot prizes. Jackpot symbols will award 1 of 3 fixed jackpots which are as follows:

• Mega Jackpot: 2,500 times your total bet
• Major Jackpot: 250 times your total bet
• Minor Jackpot: 25 times your total bet

If you reveal the Extra Pick option, you’ll choose a fourth volcano for more prizes. You can choose all 6 volcanos/cash prizes if you get the Win ‘Em All option. Finally, you can only win the Extra Pick or Win ‘Em All option (not both).

Bonus Choice

The Bonus Choice is awarded when you land 3 or more Bonus Scatters anywhere on the reels during a base game spin. You’ll then win a bet multiplier and a choice of bonus features:

Free Spins

If you opt for the Free Spins feature, you’ll begin with 8, 12, 20 or 30 free spins (by triggering with 3, 4, 5 or 6 Bonus Scatters respectively).

With Wild symbols appearing on the 3 middle reels only (i.e. reels 2, 3 and/or 4), they are Wild Multipliers during the feature containing a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier. Each Wild Multiplier multiplies the win awarded on that payline.

Finally, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Bonus Scatters will reward you with 5, 8, 12, 20 or 30 additional free spins respectively.

Gold Blitz

If you choose the Gold Blitz feature, you’ll benefit from 2, 3, 5 or 7 spins (by triggering with 3, 4, 5 or 6 Bonus Scatters respectively).

At least 1 Collect symbol will land on each spin with only Collect, Cash and Jackpot symbols appearing during the feature. This means you are guaranteed a win on each spin. The only downside is that you cannot retrigger the feature.

The Gold Blitz slot is one of Games Global’s most popular games and for good reason. It’s electrifying, high-energy and comes with a superb heavy metal rock soundtrack which will send pulses racing.

Despite the soundtrack not matching up with the gold/money/classic casino feel the game has, it represents the gameplay. Landing Collect symbols in the base game will see cash prizes and jackpots awarded with a Mega Jackpot worth 2,500 times your total bet.

With the Bonus Choice, you have free spins with wild multipliers up to 5x or Gold Blitz spins where only Collect, Cash and Jackpot symbols will land. I would personally opt for the latter as it offers the bigger win potential. You are guaranteed a win on each spin too which helps.

With 5,000 times bet max wins, Gold Blitz has become a cult favourite slot game which Games Global has followed with a sequel in Gold Blitz Extreme. Due to both slot’s popularity, there is a fully-fledged Gold Blitz slot series including UFC Gold Blitz Extreme, Blazing Bison Gold Blitz, Bonus Rumble Gold Blitz (a WWE official game) and Fishin’ Pots of Gold Gold Blitz.

If you like slot games with great soundtracks, Jammin’ Jars and Jammin’ Jars 2 from Push Gaming take you to a dancefloor whilst Big Time Gaming’s Danger High Voltage uses the iconic/catchy song by Electric Six as its soundtrack.

My personal favourite is the Immortal Romance slot by Stormcraft Studios/Games Global which comes with 5 exclusively-produced tracks that are available on Spotify!

Lastly, if it’s progressive jackpots you want instead of fixed ones, check out OLBG’s guide to the best jackpot slot games which includes the likes of Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune, Jackpot Giant and Hall of Gods.
