Gold Mine MegaSplit

Attention all fortune seekers, we have a much easier way for you to try to find that unbelievable treasure lying out of sight. No longer do you need to trek off into the hills with a pickaxe and head torch – you can strike gold right here at the best casino site. And the game? Gold Mine MegaSplit is one of the latest online slot games from Slot Factory and carries the famous MegaSplit mechanic – as is evident from the game's name. There's also a FreeFall Spin feature offering up to 9 free spins with an unlimited retrigger. Sound like something that might get you going for gold? Let’s dig a little deeper and see what else we can unearth.

Slot Factory has been making online casino games for some time now, although it has to be said that they’re more famous for their slot machines online – another obvious fact due to their company name. This iGaming studio has been quite busy lately releasing titles such as Mega Pots of Gold plus Gates of Fortunes with both, including Gold Mine MegaSplit, all being very well put together. As is the standard these days, you'll be able to play this title on your mobile device.

You can find casino games here of all sorts, but not many have a low/medium variance. This means wins should be coming thick and fast even if they don’t carry as much clout as a high volatility slot. Gold Mine MegaSplit should also be relatively easy on your wallet, as the maximum possible bet is only £15. Some players tend to dig themselves into a hole if maximum bets are too big. Those preferring a conservative wagering amount can go as low as 1p, although placing bets that low won't really do anything for your money pot. There are 243 win lines available here, so given the variance, there is scope to be braver with your wagers.

Gold Mine MegaSplit isn’t the most exciting game when it comes to theme. Mining – of all valuable stones – has been done quite a bit and with more creativity. The symbols with these themes generally make use of valuable gemstones, and with this slot, it's no different. The symbols with a higher value are the blue, green and red stones, and a nugget of gold acting as the highest value icon in the game. The lower paying icons are very basic, being J, Q, K and A, although they’ll still pay you handsome sums if you land them enough playing a solid strategy.

Look out for the wild symbol, as it stands in for regular icons to help form winning combinations. The wild can't substitute the Free Spins symbol or the Mega symbol – 2 symbols we'll explain now.

So, what’s all this MegaSplit business? On any spin a symbol can split in 2, making a possible win consist of more symbols of the same kind, meaning a bigger return. Above each reel lies a window, and on each spin a regular symbol will also appear when the spinning reel comes to a rest. If the symbol in the window matches a symbol in the reel below it, then the symbols that match in the reels split in 2. All symbols in a reel will also split if a Mega Symbol lands in the window.

Free spins will trigger by landing 3, 4 or 5 free spins symbols. You really want to enable the feature with five symbols as it awards nine free spins. There is no limit to how many times you can retrigger the feature.

There’s more in Gold Mine MegaSplit still, via the FreeFalls spin, which is essentially a respin awarded at random after wins. We haven't said this in a while, but this is definitely a slot we feel is worth playing, not just for the paying potential but also for the overall experience. Thrills are part of what makes the best online slot games tick.
