The first thing to note in this 5-reel, 7-row cluster pay slot is the theme. What’s so special about the Miner Donkey Trouble slot when plenty of other games have already come in this theme? It is true, but just like any other title, we are suckers for some familiar theme but from a new developer.
So, here Play’n GO decided to present some quirky fun in this highly volatile slot. The game comes with an array of features, and each of them is interesting. The miner comes with a cranky donkey as a partner as he takes you down the mine shaft and fetches precious gemstones.
The bet ranges from 10p to 100 coins, and the RTP is 96.27%. The cluster payline game offers a jackpot of a maximum of 10,000x. There are free spins and multiplier wins, and more to experience as you bet on the reels.
Graphics & Symbols
What you can expect from the Miner Donkey Trouble slot from Play’n GO is the way they present the game. The reel opens to a peppy country track, and we find ourselves inside a mine where the miner and his donkey are stuck due to a cave-in. This opens to the reels in the cluster pay line full of green, red, aqua blue, and purple-colored stones, besides other symbols. Did we tell you that you will also find golden nuggets?
The graphic treatment is worth the effort, and you will not find anything less coming from the Play’n GO studios. The miner in his blue denim overall is lanky and a mustached fellow carrying a pickaxe. The donkey may vaguely remind you of Olaf’s energy from Frozen but with the maniac look of Donkey from Shrek.
We love the gold nugget because it is something you collect at the bottom row. Every nugget at the bottom will increase the multiplier by 1. The game promises fun with different colored gems. Besides direct rewards, most of the symbols pay in clusters, and hence you should be on the lookout for each of them.
The Miner Pickaxe symbol does not have a direct reward. But that should not stop you from collecting the same over some time. When the bar fills with this pickaxe, you get 4 to 10 diamond wilds in the grid. Then you also get this golden-yellow Wild in a purplish-blue icon. This also functions exactly like a wild and can substitute for all the symbols except golden nuggets, miner’s pickaxe, and dynamite scatters.
Another cool thing to note in the game is the presence of a random Mega Symbol. It can come in any spin you may find two Diamond wild or gem of the size spreading across a 2×2 grid or 3×3 grid, or 4×4 grid. This Mega-sized symbol will be added to the grid
We have not yet spoken about the Dynamite symbols, and how as a scatter, they function. Detonate 3 Dynamite scatters in around and get 5 free spins.
The red group of crystals will offer the highest payout of 400 when you get x18 or more of them on the cluster paylines. The minimum starts at 1.60 for every 5 of these. The green blocks of crystals pay a maximum of 160, and the aqua blue set pays 64. The purple ones pay 32. The golden pointed stone gives 16, and so does the dark green one. The blue gemstone pays 8. The best part is that as long as these symbols touch the other, you get winning combinations and payout. Then they will be wiped off the screen, and newer symbols will fill their place.
Bonus Features
There is no dearth of fun at the reels when you are playing the Miner Donkey Trouble slot.
Cascading Reels
If you get a winning combination, the existing symbols will move from the screen. Newer symbols will fall from the top and take their place. In this way, newer combinations will form, thereby getting newer symbols in the same way. These cascading reels feature is exciting.
Donkey Destruction
Every time your symbols form a cluster, you will find them adding in the Donkey Destruction meter. Every time you reach a milestone, you will get a benefit. For instance, on getting 18 symbols, all the rocks will vanish from the screen. On reaching the 50 symbol mark, all the symbols except the golden nuggets will vanish. You will additionally receive golden nuggets.
Golden Nuggets Feature
These nuggets do not form winning combinations. They will simply increase the multiplier by 1. Remember that all the multipliers reset to 1x at the start of every spin in the base game.
Miner’s Pickaxe feature
This begins after the Cascading Reels and the Donkey destruction modes are over. You can expect 4 to 10 wilds and thereby can trigger more cascades.
Free Spins Feature
Get 3 dynamites to start this feature and thereby trigger more cascades. You can get 5 free spins. Don’t worry about not getting any win in this feature since the cascades will continue, and so will the mega symbol formation.
These dynamites will detonate on the grid and thereby remove any gem nearby. These will add 2 diamond wilds.
