Anvil and Ore

It’s time for players to don their hard hats because Alchemy Gaming, a studio that is a part of the prestigious Games Global network, is taking them underground for a mining adventure like no other. And they throw in many of their trademark features and bonus systems in for good measure.

Spinning the reels of a slot is essentially players going mining for gold, but in Anvil & Ore, they’re heading down into a mine where the backdrop and symbols do a great job of creating an immersive and realistic experience. You feel like you’re in a mine, and you can’t ask for much more than that.

Alchemy Gaming also includes Rolling Reels, the Upsizer system and more, and they're renowned for this, as all these functions work well in other titles from the studio, such as Aquanauts and Africa X Up. It's a blueprint of success that continues to serve them and slot players well.

There’s nothing worse than when you see developers throw royals in as low-paying symbols and not make them part of the theme. Thankfully, Alchemy Gaming are experienced slot creators, and they ensure the playing card icons fit with the mining theme by making them metallic. They appear as 10, J, Q, K and A on the reels but don’t necessarily produce huge wins.

Next come symbols that are directly theme-related, and they’re naturally going to pay more. These icons include a hammer, shield, rocks & gems, a chest of golden nuggets and the face of one of the miners. Players can win up to 2.5x for a line of five from these symbols. The wild will pay double that and can substitute for other standard icons when required.

Rolling Reels is a common mechanic in slot games, and it’s always well received. In short, when winning combos are found, the icons involved are removed, and new ones replace them. So, multiple wins can occur per spin. However, what Alchemy Gaming also include is Echo Roll, where another win can immediately be awarded following an initial success.

Upsizer Coins can land in the base game randomly; when this happens, they will be collected and added to a meter. And, the more collected, the better the modifiers that will be produced. Perks can include free spins, win multipliers and guaranteed Echo Rolls.

Interestingly, landing three scatters in view will not only trigger the free spins feature but also links into the Upsizer system. Three or more scatters in view will produce up to twelve free spins, but it will also deliver a max Upsizer Coin. And the more scatters that land during the free spins feature, the more Upsizer Coins that will enter the fray, as well as a boost to the free spin counter. And, if that wasn't enough, when the free spins feature ends, there will be a spin on the Upsizer Wheel, with up to a possible 150 Upsizer Coins up for grabs.

Alchemy Gaming bring to life a mining experience in Anvil & Ore, and load it with all the familiar functions and features we’re used to seeing from this developer, such as Echo Rolls and Rolling Reels. They’re ingredients that have proven to work and proven to be hits with players time after time, and they are again here.
