We spoke with Yehonatan Tishler to get his insight into this Cash Collect title. Yehonatan is Senior Game Producer at Origins, a Playtech Studio, and was heavily involved in the production of the Gold Rush game. Here are his thoughts on how the game works and which kind of player would enjoy trying out this pokie:

Cash Collect: Gold Rush™ is designed around a fantastic TV brand, with a very loyal following – but personally, I think it’s a great game in its own right too, and you don’t need to be a fan of the show to enjoy it. The Cash Collect™ mechanic, where the collect symbol awards on-reel prizes and Free Games, is easy for players to grasp, while additional features like Pay Dirt – where a digger appears on-screen to uncover extra prizes, collect symbols and Wilds – really add to the excitement and win potential.

In volatility terms, Cash Collect: Gold Rush™ is around medium to high, so I’d recommend it to players looking for a combination of good win potential and fairly frequent feature triggers.

Cash Collect: Gold Rush has a familiar game layout of a 3x5 grid, but there are enough extra features here to make this game stand out from the crowd. The game is themed after Gold Rush, a long-running and extremely popular show from the Discovery Channels which follows crews of ambitious miners as they hunt for gold in the Yukon. The characters Tony, Fred, Monica and Rick appear on the reels of this game, with Big Tony offering the largest payouts.

To get things moving simply set your bet amount from the options which extend from 10 cents all the way up to NZD$100 per spin. Next click spin to play – or hold down on the spin button to choose the autoplay – and those who don’t want to wait too long for the spins to complete can select the ‘Turbo’ spin option.

Tony will occasionally appear to fill a reel with wild gold symbols in the Pay Dirt feature, but otherwise the action happens when the Cash Collect symbol shows up, and we will deal with that in the next section.

Winning paylines run from left to right on the grid, and you need to find at least three matching symbols in order to claim a win. Tony pays out the biggest amount, up to 180 times your bet if you find a line of 5 symbols featuring his likeness.

The Cash Collect game mechanic will be familiar to most regular pokie gamers, but let’s go through how it works in relation to the Gold Rush game. The Cash Collect symbol can only appear on the 5^th reel, and when it does it will collect any of the following three types of symbol which show up on the other four reels at the same time:

• Gold Cash Symbols: add the stated cash value to the player balance when the Cash Collect symbol appears on the grid at the same time.
• Diamond Symbols: when these appear one of 4 jackpots is won. These range from the Mini Jackpot of x20 player stake up to the Grand Jackpot of x500 times the bet amount.
• Free Spin Symbols: these symbols show the number of free spins which are won when they show up alongside the Cash Collect symbol.

Look out for the player-friendly ‘Nudge’ feature on this game. If you are close to landing the Cash Collect Symbol, the game will sometimes helpfully nudge the symbol back into view and onto the reels, allowing you to claim a win.

During the free games feature, the Cash Collect symbol can show up on any of the reels, not just the fifth one. You will see a small number in the corner of the symbol, signifying how many spins the symbol will stay on the reels for. If it shows up on the top tier it will display a ‘3’, which changes to 2 and then 1 as it moves down the reels.

An arrow showing up at the same time as the Cash Collect symbol bumps it up to the top of the reel again, meaning that it will stay in view for 3 more spins.

There is a huge selection of Cash Collect games at Casino.com NZ, covering a range of different themes from Atlantis to Football to Zombies.
