Visual Style
The reels sit in a prospector's camp during a Wild West gold rush. A prospector fills the Wild position, backed by a pickaxe and shovel, a lantern, a jug of moonshine, and a cart loaded with gold nuggets.
Card royals from A to 10 fill the low-tier positions. The Dog is the top-paying regular symbol.
Golden Strike Feature
6 or more Tree symbols landing anywhere on the reels trigger the Golden Strike Feature. A random set of reels appears and the round opens with 3 Bonus Spins.
Every Tree symbol that lands during those spins moves up to the top screen, where all collected Bonus Prizes stack. Tree symbols take up cells of different sizes there – 1x1, 2x2, 3x2, 3x3 or 3x4 – filling that many positions at once.
A multiplier on a Tree symbol doubles or triples the prize already sitting in that top screen cell. Landing a Tree symbol in an empty cell resets the Bonus Spin counter back to 3. The Grand Jackpot pays out once all 15 top screen positions are filled.
Free Games
3 Barrel symbols anywhere on the reels launch the Free Game Feature. The player then picks one of two modes, and Free Games can retrigger during the round.
5 Free Games with 150 Wilds
This mode spreads 150 added Wild symbols across 5 rounds, so each spin carries heavier Wild coverage than the 10-round mode.
Every added Wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols and collects the value of any visible gold tokens, added straight to the round's running total.
10 Free Games with 100 Wilds
This mode spreads 100 added Wilds across 10 rounds.
The gold token total keeps building over twice as many spins as the 5-round mode.
Gold Rush & Big Blast Bonanza
During either Free Games mode, the Prospector Wild can set off one of two modifiers at random. Neither can be bought. Gold Rush holds every visible gold token in place and re-spins the remaining positions. Landing even one new token on that re-spin awards another re-spin, repeating until no new tokens appear.
Big Blast Bonanza has the Prospector Wild throw dynamite at random reel positions, turning those spots into gold tokens before the spin result is counted.
Golden Strike Paytable
The Golden Strike game pays left to right from reel 1 across 10 fixed lines, in multiples of the line bet (total bet ÷ 10). The Dog and the Prospector Wild pay from 2 of a kind. Any mix of gold nuggets and carts counts as one symbol.
| Symbol | 5 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 3 of a kind | 2 of a kind |

Golden Strike RTP & Volatility
Golden Strike returns 95% over the long run at Medium volatility. That is the online figure: Konami tunes cabinet versions of a title to a different return, so a pokie-room machine may not match it.
Max win reaches 2,500x the stake, with bets from A$0.10 to A$10.00.

The 5-round mode adds 150 Wilds over 5 spins, and the 10-round mode adds 100 Wilds over 10 spins. In both, the added Wilds substitute for regular symbols and collect visible gold tokens.
