Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot Demo

How We Rate Slots

As an expert John Slots reviewer, I follow our 10-step process to ensure that every aspect of the game is scrutinised, playing every game in demo mode before moving onto real money play.

To start the process, I analyse special features and jackpots, looking for anything that might go above what we’d expect, before moving onto mathematical details. I will review bet levels, the maximum win, RTP and game volatility by playing through hundreds of spins to see how everything works and whether the game is smooth and fair for the player.

I will then move on to presentation, which is a big aspect of our reviews. I take an in-depth look at how the graphics, animations and sound effects hold up across extended gameplay, to see whether it provides an enjoyable experience, or whether it becomes jarring.

Last but not least we consider the developer, to help us build a picture of the market as a whole. The combination of each stage ensures that we are only ever recommending slots that give you a fair and safe gaming experience.

Pro Tips

Gold Blitz Ultimate is packed full of features, with lots to absorb in the base game. The presence of the ‘Bonus Collect’ meter means that there tends to be a fairly lengthy charging-up progress to trigger the free spins game. This also means you should have plenty of time to get a good feel for things. The hit frequency is on the lower side at 25%, though there’s the potential for some nice returns when it does land.

Outside of the bonus round, there is plenty to go at, with a cash multiplier raising by 1x each time it lands, to a maximum of 5x in normal play and 10x in the feature. There are also collect and respin features, giving you the potential for nice returns while the ‘Bonus Collect’ meter charges up. I recommend starting with a normal-level stake for this game and seeing how you go.

Don’t forget that Gold Blitz Ultimate runs using a random number generator, meaning that the result of every spin is random and can’t be manipulated. Each spin is independent of the other, so ignore myths and strategies that you might have seen online and play for fun, not profit.

Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot Bonus Features and Free Spins

Gold Blitz Ultimate is the latest release in the Gold Blitz series and features a range of special features that ought to get the juices flowing for seasoned slots players.

The game features a complicated set-up, with a 5-4-4-4-4-5 reel layout and a total of 6400 win lines, which I feel could prove overwhelming for novice slots players. To seal a winning combination, you need to land three or more adjacent reels from the first reel on the left.

The low-paying symbols follow the traditional card rank (9, 10, J, Q, K and A) and pay between 1x and 1.2x the bet for six symbols, while the high-paying symbols are $ signs, gold bars, horseshoes, gold coins, gold bars and bells. The high symbols pay between 1.5x and 4x the bet for a six-symbol win.

There are several symbols on top of this, with mini, minor, major, mega and grand jackpots alongside wild, scatter, cash multiplier increase, cash and collect symbols. There’s an awful lot to go out, with the maximum payout being 5,000x the bet, so I will lay out each special feature for you in detail below.

Wilds

The wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except scatters, bonus, cash, jackpot, multiplier and collect, in the hope of sealing or multiplying a win for the player. Unlike in other online slots, they don’t expand and are not overly effective in terms of building up winnings.

Collect Feature

The collect feature is triggered when a collect symbol lands on reels one or six alongside a jackpot or cash symbol on any reel. If triggered, the player will be awarded all of the jackpot and cash symbols on the reels, at the following amounts:

• Mini: 10x your stake
• Minor: 15x your stake
• Major: 50x your stake
• Mega: 250x your stake
• Grand: 2500x your stake

Cash Multiplier

The cash multiplier symbol adds a win multiplier to the gauge above the reels every time it lands. The symbols appear on reels two to five and can go up to 5x in normal play and as high as 10x in the free spins round.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbols appear as ‘Bonus’ symbols in this game and act as the trigger for the free spins round. Your level of reward will depend on the number of scatter symbols landed, with four scatter symbols providing more choice than landing three.

Free Spins

The free spins round is triggered by landing three or four scatter symbols, which then present the play with a choice of bonus spins.

Three scatter symbol bonus round options:

• 8 free spins and 60 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel
• 12 free spins and 40 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel
• 15 free spins and 20 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel

Four scatter symbol bonus round options:

• 12 free spins and 60 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel
• 15 free spins and 40 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel
• 20 free spins and 20 jackpot or cash symbols on each reel

Blitz Boost

There is an opportunity to buy power ups, in the form of double frequency boosts or boosts guaranteed on every spin. Unfortunately, I found that this feature isn’t available in certain jurisdictions.

Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot Design and Visuals

Seasoned slot players will likely be highly aware of the Gold Blitz series and Fortune Factory Studios have really ramped things up with their interpretation of a classic.

With lots of special features packed in, there is certainly a feeling that you have the chance to win big. It’s certainly backed up by some loud and exciting graphics, with rock-inspired music alongside.

Triggering the bonus round with three scatter symbols was certainly an experience, I could feel the game go into overdrive with the graphics and sound as it happened! One small criticism is that such high-octane gameplay did become slightly jarring after a while, though I’d rather have too much rather than too little.

How to Play Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot

Gold Blitz Ultimate is stacked with features, which means it may be more suitable for experienced slot players. However, if you are new to this sphere and want to try the game for yourself, I have put together a quick step-by-step guide for you below:

• Before you begin playing, make sure you read this guide to ensure you understand how the game works.
• Once you are ready to play, pick your bet level. I recommend starting with your normal stake level, as there should be plenty of time to play through and get a feel for things as you charge up for the bonus round.
• You can set your bet level in the corner of the screen, by pressing on the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons next to ‘BET”.
• Once you are happy, click on the spin button to get started. The button looks like a 360 degrees arrow. I couldn’t see an auto spin function, so you will need to play through each spin yourself.

Gold Blitz Ultimate Slot Mobile Compatibility

I played Gold Blitz Ultimate on my iPhone using Chrome and everything was smooth. The game has an HTML5 framework embedded into it, so the transition from desktop to a mobile device was seamless.

My Verdict – Dynamic but Potentially Exhausting

As a long-term slots player, I really enjoyed playing Gold Blitz Ultimate, which is packed full of special features. The high-octane graphics and music are well-suited to high volatility gameplay, with special bonuses being landed on a regular basis.

However, I did find the charge up period for the free spins bonus to be fairly tiring, with the generally slow progress of the bonus collect meter becoming rather tiresome after a while. This isn’t a game that I’d recommend to beginners, but with a 5,000x max win potential, this game is certainly well worth an extended look for those who fancy a challenge.
