iSoftBet once again brings the charming golden-tooth prospector, Gus in Christmas Gold Digger – their addition to the Xmas-themed slot this year. If you are a fan of the provider’s games, you have probably already met Gus, and followed him through his mining expeditions. Christmas Gold Digger is basically a reskin of the original Gold Digger slot, with identical features. Only this time around, Gus is sporting a cute Santa outfit while the grid comes with all kinds of Christmas decorations.

So, if you are willing to once again join Gus in his gold-digging escapades, definitely check out this iSoftBet’s Christmas game. And if you want to know more about what this title has to offer, keep reading our Christmas Gold Digger slot review.

As we have mentioned, Christmas Gold Digger is simply a reskin of iSoftBet’s two popular installments. After the Gold Digger and Gold Digger Megaways slot, players are offered another opportunity to go down the mine and dig some solid prizes. However, ‘tis the season, so Gus is getting into the Christmas spirit, while the mine gets a Xmas makeover. Besides the snow-covered mine in the background, players will also see a Christmas tree, bells, mistletoe, Santa hats, and lights.

The game gets its cheer on across a 5×3 game grid with 20 paylines. Christmas Gold Digger is available on mobile, tablet, or desktop devices. Players are able to pick a suitable bet with stake options ranging from a minimum of $0.20 to a maximum of $20 per spin. The game is most tailored to a casual player, being a medium/high volatile math model with an RTP of 96%.

Just like in the previous two slots, this one comes with eight pay symbols. On the lower end of the paytable, we have the standard J-A card royals worth 1.5x to 4x the stake for a five-symbol win. The premiums are pickaxes, lamps, mine cards, and Gold-Diggin’ Gus offering payouts 5x-25x the bet for five-of-a-kind. The last tile is the wild, which substitutes for any regular pay symbol.

The base game can be pretty entertaining, depending on your preferences. You get 3 decent base game modifiers, with the Hold & Win bonus round which comes with some neat modifiers as well. And, finally, the max potential of the Christmas Gold Digger online slot is 8,230x the stake. As we have mentioned, high rollers will probably skip the game, but for a casual player, this is a pretty solid max win potential.

Christmas Gold Digger features a pretty standard betting range for an iSoftBet slot. Players can join Gus and dig for gold for a minimum bet of $0.20 to a maximum of $20 per spin. The max prize you can win by spinning the reels in the Christmas Gold Digger online slot is 8,230x your stake.

The base game can be pretty lucrative. Namely, five-of-a-kind wins for the low pay symbols offer payouts from 1.5x to 4x the stake, while the premium winning combination offer payouts from 7.5x to 25x the bet. When it comes to the math model, Christmas Gold Digger is medium/high volatile and boasts an RTP of 96%.

The special features in the Christmas Gold Digger slot will certainly ring a bell if you’ve played one of the previous games. Let us remind you which they are.

Gold Diggin’ Gus is the instigator of 3 Gold Digger modifiers. If he tosses the dynamite on the board, 3-5 symbols are turned into wilds. His pickaxes can transform symbols into Gold Nuggets, while TNT ignitions explode and upgrade low-pay symbols to one kind of higher-value symbol.

Gold Nuggets come with prize values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 375x, 500x, 750x, 1000x, 1,250x the bet. Landing 5 of them triggers the Gold Hold & Win respins feature, which initially awards 3 respins. What is more, the triggering Gold Nuggets are locked to the reels, and when new Gold Nuggets land on are respin, they are locked while returning the count back to 3. During this feature, blanks, Gold Nuggets, and Gems can land. When 3 matching gems are collected, their corresponding Cash Booster is triggered:

• Blue Gems – unlock up to three extra rows.
• Green Gems – increase all Gold Nugget values in view to their higher level (up to 1,250x).
• Red Gems – award and extra respin, so when they reset the first time, you get 4 spins instead of 3.
• Purple Gems – increase the multiplier level from 2x to 5x, then 10x at the most.

Remember, each Cash Booster can be collected three times at the most per respin. The round ends when the grid is full of nuggets, or the number of spins runs out. After the round has ended, the value of all visible nuggets is awarded. The final thing to note is that landing Gems also resets the respins count back to three.
