Mine & Melt

wilds of northwestern Canada, where the mountains and coniferous landscapes are full of the precious ore. Accompanied by a melody of upbeat banjos, you won’t be alone on this expedition as you’ll be joined by three lucky Swedes who are known to sniff out a vein of gold from miles away. Give them your trust and travel the rivers and gold soils until you stumble upon the rare metal.

The Mine & Melt slot machine is played on a grid consisting of 4 reels with 4 rows and 256 ways to trigger a win. Far from coming up empty-handed, Quickspin infuses new blood into its gameplay with a host of awesome bonuses. First there’s the Three Lucky Swedes feature that activates a Wild symbol on reels 2-4 and then there are also two bonus and super bonus games that come with Merge and Smeltdown features that work much like a Hold & Win bonus and a Buy Feature for easy access. Highly volatile, the RTP is 96.09% and the winning potential reaches 5504x the bet at the maximum.

Before you even get excited about the shovel or the bat, take your time adjusting your bet which should be between $0.20 and $100 per spin. Winnings pay out when 3 or 4 identical symbols line up on consecutive reels starting with the leftmost reel and moving to the right. Low payouts are achieved with the A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols capable of paying between 0.25x and 1x the bet. Medium symbols are represented by the bat, the pickaxe, the oil lamp and the hat and can pay between 1x and 5x the bet and the best symbol is represented by the gold bars capable of delivering between 5x and 15x the bet.

Three Lucky Swedes

There are no classic wild symbols in Mine & Melt, but the Three Lucky Swedes feature brings its share of wilds to the grid. During the base game, before the reels stop, reels 2-4 can randomly turn into full Miner Wild symbols. These expanded Wilds can substitute for all but the special symbols in the game and unleash a x2 to x4 multiplier applied to any winnings they are part of.

The Super Bonus features 4 restorable lives and boosters!

Bonus Game

The Golden Nugget is the bonus symbol, it can 2x the bet if you get 2 and can trigger the bonus if you get 3 or 4. In this case, the Bonus Game will trigger with 3 symbols and the Super Bonus Game will trigger with 4 symbols.

You will start with 3 lives in the Bonus Game and 4 lives in the Super Bonus Game. Each spin uses one life and each bonus game ends when it runs out.

Only the Smeltdown and Collector symbols can appear during the bonus and when one of them appears on the screen, the lives are fully restored to continue the bonus. Each Collector symbol will remain locked in place until the end of the bonus unless it is merged, Collectors start with a x2 value at the beginning and several actions can occur with the Merge and Smeltdown function as follows:

• Merge: Whenever two Collector symbols of equivalent value are found side by side, a random pair is selected to merge and add up the total value of the pair.
• Smeltdown: Whenever the Smeltdown symbol appears on the screen, all Collector symbols are multiplied by the Smeltdown multiplier value and the next Collector symbols will also be multiplied by the Smeltdown multiplier. The multiplier is x2 in the Bonus Game and x4 in the Super Bonus Game.
