Theme and Symbols

This game has a fun mining theme where the goal is to extract precious gems from the earth so you can sell them to make a profit. In this game, the mining seems to be done traditionally with straightforward digging and explosives – hence the TNT. Interestingly, before hydraulic mining and solution mining, the industry used to rely heavily on TNT to blast away rock to give people access to pockets of precious stones. However, this method is messy and dangerous and inefficient. However, it is much more visceral and visually exciting, so this game has chosen to represent mining in this way.

The background for this game is a beautiful mountain scene with snowy peaks in the distance and a lush green meadow in the foreground. Between these two settings is a large fir forest of dark conifers. The environment looks like one that could be found in Scandinavia, perhaps Sweden or Norway. It is quite a beautiful image and one with relaxing bucolic connotations.

The playing board for this game has been designed to look like a mine set up in the valley of these mountains with pulleys and a brick entrance.

The symbols for this game are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are silver ore, gold ore and blue gemstone. The most valuable of these is the blue gemstone, worth 6x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons, however, are the green gemstone, orange gemstone, and red gemstone. The red one is the most valuable, worth 15x the stake for the top combination. The special symbols included in this game are the drill wild, the pink stone block, the blue stone block, and the TNT.

Features

The first bonus feature in this game is the free spins round. This is activated when players manage to remove all of the dark stones from the base game set-up. Do so, and the game will give you the choice of three free spin rounds. These are explained below:
Multiplier – With very high volatility, special stone blocks contain 1x, 2x or 3x multipliers.
Multiplier & Extra Spins – Highly volatile, special stone blocks contain added multipliers or extra spins.
Extra Spins – Medium volatility, special stone blocks contain 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 extra spins.

The next feature in this game is the TNT blocks feature. The TNT blocks in this game when part of a win explodes, destroying any other dark stone block on the same row. This bonus helps the player clear the black stones faster and thus get to the free spins round quicker.

Finally, this game also has a Dream Drop bonus. This is randomly triggered, and it takes players to a new playing board in which only blanks and DD symbols fall. Land five DD symbols, and players will enter the main round of this bonus. In this bonus, players can land a range of jackpots. The most valuable of these is worth £3 million.

Conclusion

Visually, this game is one of the most stimulating produced by Relax Gaming in a while. However, from a potential win point of view, things are a little difficult. On the one hand, there are very high payouts to be one here, and the jackpot is incredibly high. However, players may not see much winning action thanks to the poor RTP and relatively high volatility. If you like high-risk, high reward mining games, this is the one for you.
