Miner Donkey Trouble
Miner Donkey Trouble
Miner Donkey Trouble slot from Play’n GO will put a smile in your face slot lovers. It features a rather dim-looking donkey and its owner as they mine for wins! This is a colourful them that is miles away from more traditional games like the Bullion Bars slot with its 7s Bar symbols. I am good with that!
Collect cluster pays of rocks to set off one of the 6x bonuses on offer in this Play’n GO game (the people behind the Thunder Screech slot, Reactoonz, 3 Clown Monty and lots of other great games). It also gets an 8/10 from the developers themselves on the variance scale.
Hold on to your hard hats!
The Graphics
As you’d expect, the action all takes place down a cavernous mine that is dimly lit with lamps and candles.
Your protagonists sit either side of the reels ready to throw some modifiers at your reels. The music is a frantic banjo ditty which accompanies your spins.
This is a well-designed cartoon caper.
Miner Donkey Trouble Slot Game Play
Miner Donkey Trouble slot comes with 5 reels and 7 rows. That´s even more rows than Forgotten Island Megaways and that’s because this is a cluster pays game which means you will make wins by matching icons adjacent to each other. Bets start at a minimum of 0.10 and go up to 100.00 credits per spin
Cascading Reels
After any win, all winning symbols involved will explode making room for brand new icons to fall in from above.
The pay table icons include rough-cut gemstones in red, green, blue and pink as the high value symbols while the rocks in brown, jade green, yellow, and blue make up your lower values.
The large gold ‘W’ is your wild icon, and the special symbols are the golden nuggets and the dynamite scatter symbols – but more on those below.
The Bonuses
There are 6 features on offer here, so get ready for some rather explosive reel action!
Mega Symbol
This can be set off randomly on any non-win cascade drop. Here 1 or 2 mega symbols, either 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4, will be dropped onto the reel to give you a guaranteed win.
Dynamite Scatter
When the scatter icons lands it lands it blows itself up taking all the other symbols two positions next to it with it
Golden Nugget Multipliers
At random in the base game the bottom row of the reels will light up and a golden nugget icon can land. This will increase the win multiplier for the winning cluster pay by 1x.
Donkey Destruction
You will trigger off the Donkey Destruction bonus by filling up the donkey meter to the left of the reels. Every winning symbol is added to meter and there are three levels of destruction:
Level One – Collect 18 symbols and you’ll set this off. Now, icon all the low value rock icons will be hoofed off the reels by the donkey, allowing more valuable symbols to fall into the spaces.
Level Two – Collect 40 icons and you’ll trigger this stage. Now all reel icons (gemstones and rocks) are removed and replaced by new ones..
Level Three – Collect a whopping great 50 symbols and ALL symbols will be kicked off the screen – except for any Gold Nuggets. You’ll now be given 5 extra Gold Nuggets increasing the win multiplier up to 5x!
Pickaxe Bonus
From time to time, the elderly miner chap will wave his pickaxe around. He’s actually waiting for a pickaxe icon to hit the reels.
When it does, the miner will add from 4 to 10 Wilds onto the reels.
Free Spins
Hit 3x dynamite scatter explosions on the same spin and you’ll get 5 Free Spins.
Now the golden nugget win multiplier will be active constantly and won’t reset between each Spin.
Last but not least the spins can also be re-triggered up to 20 times!
The Monkey Verdict
Play’n GO’s Miner Donkey Trouble slot has some interesting features and entertaining game play. In the same mould as Honey Rush and Moon Princess – it’s a thumbs up from me!
