Dynamite Digger’s theme is related to gold mining, a theme that is often chosen by developers thanks to its promise of untold riches that can be obtained with just a little bit of work and a lot of luck. The slot’s creator is IGT in this case, and they offer in Dynamite Digger a game with relatively simple action, with only one major feature part of it, and it’s not even one that you’re used to seeing.
You’re getting 20 win lines to use in Dynamite Digger, a slot which has 5 reels. There aren’t that many features though, only the Exploding Reels. As for the prizes, you can win $25,000 while playing it.
Features of Dynamite Digger
The slot’s only feature is called Exploding Reels. You’re not getting a wild symbol in this case, or any other feature that you might be used to. The action in the game appears very simple at first, but luckily those Exploding Reels can make it exciting.
What IGT calls Exploding Reels is found under all sorts of other names in other slot machines. While in the case of Dynamite Digger you will see the symbols which are part of combinations explode, in other slots they are part of avalanches, they tumble off the reels and so on.
The exploding symbols, which have formed a combo and already paid you once, will leave empty spots which will be occupied by other symbols that come in from above. New combinations can be formed as a result, and hopefully this will go on for a long time, until you no longer get a winning combo.
Betting options and jackpots
The betting options allow you to modify the number of lines and coins. The former go from 1 to 20, while the latter from $0.01 to $5. Max out each option, and you get a bet of $100 per spin.
You are offered top payouts of up to 5,000 coins, which is not that big of a line multiplier since the features are so scarce. The value would be $25,000 at best.
Design and symbols
Since the theme is related to gold mining, and the action takes place in a mine, you will find that the reels are encased in wooden beams and pillars, looking like they are part of the mine’s interior. You have both poker cards and mining symbols on the reels, and the latter actually look good, detailed enough and well drawn.
Symbols: Dynamite Digger (5,000 coins), Gold Cart (2,500 coins), Pick Axe (1,000 coins), Explosives Trigger (750 coins), Lantern (200 coins), Dynamite Stick (125 coins), Ace (75 coins), King (50 coins), Queen (40 coins) and Jack (30 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
Those Exploding Reels do look good, but there aren’t any features otherwise, so I find the 5,000x payout to be on the low side all things considered.
The Dynamite Digger slot machine is offered through the IGT platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
