dynamite miner slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The theme of Dynamite Miner is quite a light-hearted take on the whole mining concept – an old guy sits in the bottom-left of the screen, and he kind of freaks me out, actually – he’s always looking directly at you but never blinks. You’d also be surprised how many online slots are based around mining in one way or another – Cash Mine is very similar to this game, as is Pragmatic Play’s Bonanza  Gold, whilst Black River Gold and Dynamite Riches Megaways feel a little bit more serious in tone. It’s quite curious, considering that many mines worldwide are shutting down as Western nations are doing everything possible to reduce their carbon footprint, such as shutting down their coal mines and power plants. Other nations, such as China, talk a lot about lowering emissions yet still build dozens of new coal plants yearly. This is extremely worrying considering that they are already by far the biggest polluter on the planet, but then again, they do have 1.4 billion people (supposedly) needing electricity, and their country is stuffed to the brim with coal. You can’t blame them for using it up before they are forced to switch to more expensive means of generating power.

Okay, that’s quite enough politics for one day; let’s get back to Dynamite Miner! The highest-paying symbol is a cart overflowing with gold nuggets… I feel a little cheated only receiving 125x my stake when that probably wouldn’t even cover the cost of the cart, but alas, that is what you will get for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind. Next, the miners’ hat will pay you 50x for all five, followed the by the lantern at 25x, and the pickaxe and shovel at 10x. The lower paying symbols are represented by various coloured minerals, which suits the game well and is much more interesting than just another set of boring royals or playing card suits. The wilds only appear on reels two, three, and four, so there is no chance of hitting a full pay line of those, I’m afraid. There is no payout attached to the scatter symbols either, unfortunately.

Wagering options use the familiar Endorphina setup of selecting a coin value to determine the size of your bet, but there is no option to change the number of pay lines in Dynamite Miner – many other Endorphina games retain this fast-disappearing option, but not this one. The minimum bet at penny stakes is €0.20 per round, whilst the maximum at a coin value of €1.00 is €20.00 per spin.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game utilises a regular 5x3 playfield, with winnings awarded for hitting three or more matching symbols on a pay line starting from the first reel on the left. As a rolling reels game, all winning combinations are removed from the reel set as soon as they land, allowing new symbols to drop in from the top of the screen and replace them. There’s an extra twist to this feature in Dynamite Miner, however, detailed below.

cascading multipliers feature

dynamite miner slot bonus features

Hit three scatters during the base game, and you will be rewarded with ten free spins. Hitting four scatters will increase this to 20 free spins. Scatters only appear on the first four reels, so it is impossible to hit five scatters in this game. There is no cash payout for hitting the scatter symbols either – you only receive the free spins bonus round.

During this mode, all wins have a 3x multiplier applied to them by default. Each time a winning cascade is removed from the reels, the current multiplier will increase similarly to the base game, except now the available multipliers are 5x, 7x, 9x, or 15x. 

During the bonus round, the scatter symbols only appear on the first free reels. Hitting all three of these will add ten more free spins to your remaining total.
