Glow Dig

Base Game & Features

Glow Dig is set upon a regular 5×4 Grid with an additional Extra Row above the main reel set. This game features 30 active pay lines, and is playable from £.€0.10 per spin, up to a maximum bet size of £.€20 per spin. Winnings are capped at 5,000x your bet, boasting a theoretical RTP of 96.10%.

Special Row

Sat above the main reel set is a Special Row housing 3 additional symbols; Empty Carts, Mine Carts, and Drill Machines. Empty Carts have no value of function, but the remaining two symbols aid in collecting Extra Prizes:

• Mine Carts: Collect all extra prizes that appear on the reel directly below it.
• Drill Machines: Collect extra prizes from all of the reels.

Extra Prizes

With each spin, Major symbols may land on reels with Extra Prizes between 1x and 250x your bet. These prizes are collected by Mine Carts and Drill Machines that appear in the top Special Row.

Bonus Buy

• Free Spins: 80x your bet
• Super Free Spins: 250x your bet

Free Spins

Landing 3 Dynamite Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round. Once active, all symbols on the reels are replaced with Special Symbols, each featuring a Prize from the list below:

• Empty Carts: No prize
• Bronze Carts: Prizes of 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x
• Silver Carts: Prizes of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x
• Gold Carts: Prizes of 25x, 50x, 75x, or 100x
• Epic Carts: Prizes of 250x, 500x, 1,000x, or 5,000x

During Free Spins, a Mine Cart is situated in the rightmost position of the Special Row, moving one position to the left after each spin. This Mine Cart, and any additional Mine Cart or Drill Machine symbols, will collect the Prizes on the reels in the same manner as the base game. The Free Spins round continues until only Empty Carts remain in the Special Row.

Super Free Spins

The Super Free Spins round begins with a Drill Machine symbol in the rightmost position of the Special Row. The rest of the round is played in the same manner as Free Spins.

Conclusion

Glow Dig from MaxWin Gaming takes us on a mining extravaganza with multiple chances of cashing in on Extra Prizes worth up to 250x your bet in the base game, and 5,000x in Free Spins.

Although gameplay in the base game isn’t the most exciting, we had many moments in the Free Spins and Super Free Spins rounds that were quite exciting.

In Free Spins, base game Cart symbols are switched out for Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Epic Carts, with increased values that enhance the overall potential of the game. The idea of collecting Prizes via an additional row is somewhat reminiscent of Nolimit City’s Fire in the Hole, but not quite to that extent.

All in all, it’s difficult to determine the longevity of Glow Dig, but its similarities to other popular titles may appeal to many players for the foreseeable future!
