How Mining Pots of Gold plays
Wins are paid from left to right along 20 paylines, and the lower-paying symbols are the royals 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, with higher-paying picture symbols above them. The leprechaun is the wild, and any win he helps to form is doubled. The dynamite sticks are the scatters. They appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and only in the main game, they can carry tokens for the three Bonus Enhancers shown at the top of the screen, and any spin on which one lands can also trigger the bonus round at random. A screen filled entirely with wilds sets off the separate Wild Blackout prize.
Wild Blackout
Wild Blackout is the top event of the main game. When wilds cover every position on the 5x3 grid, the game pays a blackout prize on top of all the payline wins for that screen, and the key facts give its size. Nothing else is needed to set it off: the dynamite, the tokens and the Bonus Enhancers play no part, so a full screen of leprechaun wilds is the whole trigger.
Dynamite and the Bonus Enhancers
The dynamite scatters do two jobs. The tokens they carry feed three Bonus Enhancers, shown at the top of the screen: Bonus Prizes, the Bonus Multiplier and Bonus Spins. Every token that lands is collected, and the totals decide what the bonus round is awarded when it starts. Each scatter is also a chance to trigger that round at random, with no meter to fill first. After a bonus, the three enhancers reset to small random starting values rather than to zero, ready for the next build.
The bonus round and the Top Tower
The bonus round takes you underground to a board of 20 pots. It begins with the prizes, multiplier and spins your Bonus Enhancers have built, each bonus spin can reveal more prizes on the board, and the Bonus Multiplier is applied at random to prize values as the round goes on. The aim, in Gameburger’s words, is to clear the board: fill all 20 pots and the Top Tower pays its top cash prize, shown in the key facts.
Mining Pots of Gold compared with 12 Pots of Gold Drums
12 Pots of Gold Drums is another Gameburger Studios game in the Pots of Gold series, this time built around drums. Its bonus is a free spins round in which the reels can grow to as many as 10 rows and 48 paylines. Mining Pots of Gold takes a different route: its bonus is played on a separate board of 20 pots, the dynamite tokens set that board up during the main game, and filling every pot pays the Top Tower prize. Of the two games, Mining Pots of Gold has the higher maximum win.
| Game | Grid and lines | Bonus round | Maximum win |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mining Pots of Gold | 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 paylines | A board of 20 pots, set up by dynamite tokens | 4,000x stake |
| 12 Pots of Gold Drums | Up to 10 rows and 48 paylines in free spins | Drum free spins with growing reels | 3,000x stake |

Frequently asked questions
How does the Mining Pots of Gold slot work?
Most spins are ordinary line spins on 20 paylines, with the leprechaun wild doubling the wins he helps to make. The bonus is built in the background: dynamite scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 add tokens to the Bonus Enhancers and can trigger the bonus board at random, while a full screen of wilds pays the Wild Blackout prize.
What is Mining Pots of Gold?
A Gameburger Studios slot released through Games Global in November 2023, and a branch of the 9 Pots of Gold series. Unlike the fishing games in the same family, it trades fishing for mining: the series’ leprechaun heads into an Irish mine, with dynamite, gems and carts of gold on and around the reels.
Can you retrigger the bonus in Mining Pots of Gold?
No. The bonus round cannot be retriggered and no extra spins are added once it is under way, so it runs for the Bonus Spins your enhancers had built. Every bonus spin is played at the bet that triggered the round, and the bonus wins are added to your main game wins when it ends.
