GOLD RUSH GUS GAME REVIEW
It’s amazing how far online slots have come over the years. There are more than 300 different games you can play right now at Ignition Casino, each with something unique to offer. But only a select few can make the list of the best slot games; 2021 has been an especially good year for gaming here at Ignition, thanks in no small part to the arrival of Gold Rush Gus. This instant hit was first released in 2019. It’s already one of our most popular slots, and Ignition Casino’s Gold Rush Gus game review will explain why.
GOLD RUSH GUS’ MINING THEME
Quick: What’s your favorite color? If you answered “gold,” you’re not alone. This precious metal isn’t just rare and beautiful – it’s also incredibly useful. And the gold standard was the basis for much of the world’s currency until 1971. More gold is better, which is why so many of the games you’ll find at Ignition Casino have it as part of their theme.
Of course, gold doesn’t come from trees. It comes from the ground, and when you play Gold Rush Gus slot, the task of mining said gold falls upon the rugged shoulders of our title character. Gus is a familiar old-timey prospector, representing the Gold Rush era of the mid-19th Century; the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada mountains led to the westward expansion of the United States, and helped set the table for the founding of Las Vegas in 1905.
Gold rushes also captured the world’s imagination. The 1849 California Gold Rush (which provided the name for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League) and the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-99 aren’t just part of American heritage; they also sparked the search for gold in Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Gus himself could easily have been a character in a Jack London novel, or in the celebrated 1925 Charlie Chaplin film The Gold Rush.
Gold Rush Gus’ Format
Having a can’t-miss theme will help any game climb its way to the top of the casino slots reviews, but Gold Rush Gus makes full use of the theme by turning each spin into a mining expedition of its own. This is a 5-reel, 10-payline game where the symbols are revealed by Gus and his trusty pick-ax. Here’s a list of the symbols Gus will dig up:
Coins: Each coin in Gold Rush Gus is stamped with one of the top six poker hand rankings (9, 10, J, Q, K and A), with 9, 10 and J in silver and the others in gold.
Jewels: Gemstones of various colors and shapes will appear.
Special Symbols: Keys, Treasure Chests, Free Spin and Wild symbols will unlock this game’s special features, which we’ll introduce to you to in a moment.
As with most online slots, Gold Rush Gus pays out when you line up three or more matching symbols along one of the 10 paylines – although sometimes you need only two symbols. The minimum bet per spin is 20 cents, and the maximum is $100.
