Dynamite Diggin Doug (Pragmatic Play) – Slot Review
Provider Reel Kingdom takes players underground into the mines with the character Doug. The game is set within a tunnel, surrounded by stone, ready for precious gems to be mined. Doug, clad in his mining gear, stands on the right side of the wooden reel set, prepared for the task. Symbols include 10 to A for low-paying symbols, while mining equipment represents the premium symbols. The theme is a boring choice and the visual aspects are not that impressive compared to the studios previously releases games.
Dynamite Diggin’ Doug features a 5-reel by 3-row setup with 10 fixed pay lines. This high variance slot offers an RTP of 96.52% and a maximum win capped at 3,000x your bet. Players can wager between £0.10 and £250.
Dynamite Diggin’ Doug Symbols & Pay Table
The game includes 14 symbols in total. The five low-paying symbols are represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A. The five premium symbols include Helmets, Shovels, Lanterns, Pickaxes, and Minecarts, with the Minecart being the highest paying symbol at 100x for 5 across a pay line. Additionally, there are Scatter Symbols, Dynamite Symbols, Plunger Symbols, and Money Symbols. Scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5.
Dynamite Diggin’ Doug Features & Mechanics
Landing 3 or more Dynamite Symbols anywhere on the reel set awards a direct money prize:
- 3 Dynamites = 0.5x
- 4 Dynamites = 1x
- 5 Dynamites = 2.5x
- 6 Dynamites = 5x
- 7 Dynamites = 10x
- 8 Dynamites = Bronze, 20x
- 9 Dynamites = Silver, 50x
- 10 Dynamites = Gold, 100x
Plunger Symbol
The Plunger Symbol can land in the middle spot on the reel set, awarding a random money prize from the Dynamite list. If Bronze, Silver, or Gold values are selected, the Respin feature is triggered.
Respin Feature
The Respin feature has multiple levels: Prospecting, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Trigger the feature starting from the Prospecting level by hitting 3 Scatter symbols. Hitting 8, 9, or 10 Dynamite Symbols in the base game will start the feature from the Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels, respectively. Each Dynamite Symbol within the Respin feature takes a value between 1x to 10x.
Bronze, Silver, and Gold Money Symbols appear during the Respin feature with values:
- Bronze: 25x to 50x
- Silver: 75x to 125x
- Gold: 150x to 250x
The Respin feature starts with 3 Respins. After each Respin, all Money Symbols remain on the screen, and any new Money Symbol resets the Respins to 3 while all Money Symbols move down one row. Values of Money Symbols that exit the screen through the bottom are collected in a total win meter, and Dynamite Money Symbols are thrown back onto the reels with potential random multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 4x.
Starting from the Prospecting level, hitting at least one new Dynamite Symbol in one respin five times unlocks either the Bronze, Silver, or Gold level. Once a level is unlocked, respective Money Symbols of that level can also appear, and all wins are multiplied by 2x, 3x, or 5x for Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels, respectively.
The round ends when there are no Respins left. At the end of the round, all remaining Dynamite Money Symbols on the screen are collected and multiplied by the level Multiplier if applicable. This feature can be purchased for 100x your chosen stake size. An Ante Bet option is available, increasing your bet by 50% to enhance your chances of triggering this feature naturally.
Conclusion
Overall, Dynamite Diggin’ Doug is a disappointing release, featuring a basic theme and unimpressive artwork. Mechanically, it includes a Respin feature with Money Symbols and three levels, which fails to add significant excitement to the gameplay.
