Play Stompin’ Gold

Stompin' Gold is a 5x3 video slot from Play'n GO that uses 20 paylines and combines Mystery Symbols, Wild multipliers and expanding Wilds with a Hold'n Grow bonus. Biggie and Boogie, the mischievous woodland creatures, also play an important part in the game's special features. 

Stompin’ Gold’s graphics are pretty detailed compared to some online slots. The game drops us into a campsite surrounded by a dense, dark forest, with Jack Tracker setting off on his woodland adventure. A campfire, tent and thick trees create the main backdrop, while the forest setting gives the reels a clear sense of place. 

Jack is joined by Biggie and Boogie, two yeti-like creatures who appear during some of the game's special features. The soundtrack combines light adventure music with forest sounds. The overall presentation is colourful without becoming overly complicated, and the animations bring the characters and features into the action. 

Special symbols include: 

• Wild: Substitutes for regular symbols and can receive multipliers or expand during the Biggie & Boogie feature. 
• Mystery Symbol: Reveals a random paying symbol when Mystery Symbols are present at the end of a spin. Some can reveal Wilds or Bounty Coins. 
• Bounty Coin: Carries a cash value and contributes towards the Hold'n Grow feature. 
• Special Bounty Coin: Appears during Hold'n Grow and can lead to the Hold'n Spin mini-game. 

Biggie & Boogie Upgrade 

When Wilds appear, Biggie and Boogie can emerge from the bushes. If one creature appears, Wilds can receive multipliers ranging from x2 to x100. When both appear, the Wilds expand across the reels and can also receive these multipliers. Multiple multipliers can be added together when a win contains more than one. 

Go Collect 

Bounty Coins that land during the base game can be added to the Go Collect meter when no more than three appear on the same spin. This feature can also lead into the Hold'n Grow bonus. 

Hold'n Grow 

Landing four Bounty Coins during a base game spin triggers Hold'n Grow. The feature begins with three respins, with each new Bounty Coin resetting the counter. The game starts with three of eight rows available, while additional rows can open as the feature progresses. 

Bounty Coins can carry values between 1x and 5x the bet, while Special Bounty Coins can feature values from 10x to 1,000x the bet. Potential prizes can therefore vary considerably during the feature. 

Hold'n Spin 

A Bonus Bounty Coin during Hold'n Grow activates a separate 3x3 Hold'n Spin round. Three respins are awarded, with each new hit resetting the counter. When the mini-game ends, the Bonus Bounty Coin converts to a potential cash prize based on the symbols revealed during the round. 

Stompin' Gold uses five reels, three rows and 20 active paylines. Winning combinations require matching symbols on neighbouring reels, beginning with the leftmost reel. At least three matching symbols are needed for a line win. 

The regular symbols include playing-card values from Ten through Ace, alongside woodland adventure symbols such as the flask, camera, backpack and tent. The Wild substitutes for these regular symbols and can become considerably more significant when Biggie and Boogie appear. 

Mystery Symbols add another layer to regular spins by revealing their identities after the reel action finishes. Bounty Coins, meanwhile, can contribute towards the Go Collect meter and the Hold'n Grow feature. 

If you like your slots built around a bit of an adventure storyline, check out these games from our online casino library:  

• Julian Stone: Fortunes of the Sun God uses a 5-reel structure, expanding mechanics, upgrade-based Free Spins, and reel-based modifiers.

We think Stompin' Gold gets plenty of mileage from its woodland adventure theme. The campsite and forest backdrop give the game a distinctive setting, while Jack, Biggie and Boogie add a bit of personality to the reels. We also like how the characters are tied directly into the game's mechanics rather than simply appearing as decoration. It should appeal most to players who enjoy adventure-themed slots with several interconnected bonus mechanics.
