How to Play Gold Canyon Slot
Dust off your spurs and saddle up, but before you do, you should set your bets:
- Quick Bet panel +/- will help you control how high or low your bets will go.
- Spin will set the reels moving once you decided on your desired bet.
- Autoplay will get the reels spinning automatically without any interruptions for a chosen number of times.
- If you choose to gamble your winnings and try to double them up, you can do so by hitting the Double Up button.
Slot Features
There’s gold in them hills! It’s time to meet up the Cowboy who will get Wild on the reels, and larger than life once he decides to expand in order to cover an entire reel he’s on, and so offer additional chances for bigger wins.
Explosive Fun
Dynamite charges is the Scatter symbol that will trigger the Free Spins round once you land a minimum 3 of them on the reels. Once at least 3 land, they will explode, and once they do, the newly mined symbols will drop into place, and recalculate wins. You will then be awarded with 1 spin for each Scatter that exploded.
Gamble
After a line win you can choose to gamble the amount won and try to double it up. All you need to do is try to guess which side will the flipped coin land on, heads or tails. Correct guess will result in your win while the wrong one will cost you the gambled amount and return you to the base game.
Summary
Gold Canyon will let you learn how to live the cowboy life, and let you cause blasts in the mine shafts. If you get lucky you stand to earn a lot because this game has a high wining potential. Enjoy this great looking game and spend some quality time spinning the reels on Betsoft’s new release.
I love watching western movies and I also love playing western-themed slot games (western in this sense refers to cowboys, outlaws, Red Indians, and so forth), but this game from Betsoft, entitled Gold Canyon, has a cowboy as its Wild symbol, but the game isn’t about sheriffs, outlaws or bounty hunters – it’s only about the early days of gold mining. I was hoping it would be something like NetEnt’s Dead Or Alive game, but it isn’t, oh shucks, hehehe.
Anyway, after browsing through its paytable, I could see some interesting things. The Gold Nugget is the top paying symbol, at 500x the total bet for any 5 of them. Next is the Horse at 100x, but you need to get all 15 Dynamite Scatter symbols to get a 50x win. Getting 4 would pay only 1x but you also get a free spins game (1 free spin per Scatter symbol) to earn more wins. Yep, more free spins can be won during the free spins play, so that’s not too bad. On top of that, all the other symbols have fairly good win values too.
The Cowboy Wild symbol doesn’t pay anything for itself, sadly, appearing only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, but it expands to become a full Wild Reel, so getting 4 Wild Reels is possible. Combine this with a Gold Nugget on reel 1 row 1, then you’d get the maximum win of 4000x the total bet (500x on 8 paylines), and that’s a WOW win indeed! Without the Gold Nugget symbol, other wins would be much reduced, but would still be a jaw-opener, hehehe.
I wish I had more plays on this game, because from my few sessions on it, I couldn’t get any decent wins at all. It’s high volatility means needing lots and lots of spins to be done on it before a big win can be achieved, but the game plays quite well and quite interestingly, so to speak, so it’s certainly a game worth spending more time and more money!
