Unearth great riches in Armadillo Studios’ 1849 Gold Bonanza

| By iGB Editorial Team
Studio’s latest slot sees players transported back in time to the California Gold Rush, where fortune favours the bold and the promise of bounty lies just beneath the surface.

This immersive high-volatility adventure invites players to grab their shovels and pickaxes and join the legendary ‘forty-niners’ in a quest to strike it rich.

With every spin, the anticipation builds up as players uncover hidden treasures and transform ordinary symbols into wilds through the Wild Transformation feature. The saloon doors above the reels swing open to reveal a hidden reel, transforming all matching symbols into wilds, enhancing the chance for big wins.

Landing three or more scatter symbols in the base game triggers free spins, awarding up to 20 free spins. During this mode, empty whiskey glasses appear above the reels, ready to be filled by wild symbols. Each filled glass not only grants additional free spins, but also increases the game’s multiplier, with the potential to reach 20x multiplier.

You can also activate the Golden Nugget cash prizes during both the base game and free spins. Each Gold Nugget symbol is a cash prize that can be multiplied on the same spin by wild symbols.

With cash prizes ranging from two to 500 times the stake in the base game and up to 10,000 times the stake during free spins when the 20x multiplier is reached, 1849 Gold Bonanza offers a treasure trove of potential wins. 

And that’s not all. During free spins, if a multiplier amounting to 3x, 5x or 20x has been reached, the scatter cash prizes on the reels are also pre-multiplied in addition to any line wins.

Armadillo Studios has released a series of hit titles, including Cookie Kingdom, Cookie Bonanza, Hot Hot Balloons, Paws and Claws: A Tail of Fortune, Gummy GalaxyShamrock Surprise and many more.

David Stoveld, COO of Armadillo Studios, said: “With 1849 Gold Bonanza, we wanted to capture the excitement of the Gold Rush era, giving players the chance to experience the thrill of striking it rich in a beautifully designed game filled with rewarding features.”
