Slot Details

Black Gold 2 Megaways is a video slot with six dynamic reels, featuring 2 to 7 rows and 324 to 117,649 ways to win. You can drill again for oil and riches on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. Using the Super Stake option will increase the cost to 0.40 to 40. The game has very high volatility (5/5) with a default RTP of 96.01%. Beware, versions with lower RTP settings in the 94.xx% range can be offered. Always check the help file to find out which version you will be playing.

The exact number of ways is randomly determined at the start of every spin sequence. The game engine will drop between 2 and 7 pay symbols onto reels one and six as well as 2 to 6 pay symbols onto the four centre reels. Additionally, the game has an extra scroll at the top of the game window with four positions, extending from reel two to five, where more symbols are rolled into view from the right. Further, a cinematic reel is placed on top of the extra reel where the triggering symbols for the various modifiers will appear.

Altogether, it creates a virtually unlimited number of variations between 324 and 117,649 bet ways. Wins are paid for two to six matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. The symbols from a winning combination will then explode to make room for new symbols to drop into place, starting a chain reaction that will continue as long as a new winning combo occurs after a cascade.

The canyon from the original has been replaced with a more contemporary oil rig field. A construct of pipes and valves serves as the frame of the dynamic reels whereas more valves will appear at the bottom at various points in the gameplay. All to a typical country soundtrack accompanied by the usual reel and win count noises.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 0.6x to 1.25x your bet for a single six of a kind. The premiums are oil lamps, oil rig worker hats, a money-eating donkey and the oil tycoon. Hit six across the reels to win 1.5x to 50x your stake. A dynamite bundle is the wild symbol, performing the usual substitution duties while a golden oil rig is again the scatter. Lastly, a gold coin sack acts as the bonus symbol.

Black Gold 2 Megaways Slot Features

The 2019-original Black Gold Megaways was Stakelogic’s successful debut in the Megaways niche and has since been followed by about a dozen more titles. Some were highly playable and truly entertaining while others hardly left a mark in the increasingly crowded iGaming world. No surprise to see them choosing one of their best and most popular creations for a sequel. Reason enough to take a closer look.

Before spinning the reels, you will need to decide whether you want to activate the Super Stake option. This will double your default bet size, e.g. a stake of 1.00 will increase to 2.00 credits. In return, a special Super Stake feature can trigger randomly at any time in the base game. Worth noting is though that the paytable and RTP remain unchanged, nor does the Super Stake have any impact on the bonus features.

The cinematic Bonus Reel on top of the horizontal scroll is again one of the main contributors to the excitement on the reels. It contains mostly blanks but also a number of bonus symbols that will trigger their associated modifier when they land on a spin in the base game or free spins.

The Bonus Reel features will trigger when one of the icons stops in the centre of the reel. Keep an eye at the bottom of the game window as a random number of valves below reels 2 to 6 will open to splash oil onto the respective reels above and apply one of seven modifiers.

• Random Wilds: A random number of wilds are placed anywhere on oil-covered reels.
• Multiplier Wilds: Two multiplier wilds with x2, x3, x5 or x10 are randomly placed on reels two to five. They will be added if both are part of a winning combo after the reels come to a stop.
• Stacked Wilds: One or two stacked wilds are added to reels 2 to 5
• Destroyer: All regular pay symbols in view except wilds, scatters and bonus symbols are removed on losing spins or after no more wins occur after a cascade. New symbols will then tumble onto the reels.
• Mystery Symbols: Three or more random symbols in view are transformed into mystery symbols. All will reveal a common pay symbol.
• Free Spins: Four scatters will appear on the oil-covered reels to trigger the Free Spins
• Gold Rush: Four bonus symbols appear on the oil-covered reels to trigger the Gold Rush bonus game.

Having four scatters in view by the time a spin sequence concludes will trigger the Free Spins feature. Any further scatter will award additional free spins. The game will lead to a new screen offering you four options for your feature – 12 | 8 | 5 Free Spins with an x1 | x5 | x10 starting multiplier or a Random option which will be a combination of the free spins and multiplier choices.

The feature is played with a progressive win multiplier, starting at x1 and increasing by x1 after every winning cascade, no limits. Landing three scatters will retrigger +5 free spins, plus, any further in the same game round will add another +5 spins.

Landing four or more gold coin bags will trigger the Gold Rush Bonus Game. The screen is cleared while the reel configuration is initially locked in for the feature. The triggering bonus symbols will turn sticky and display a bet multiplier between x1 and x100. The feature starts with three spins to potentially land more gold coin bags as well as modifiers in the Bonus Reel. Any bag appearing will be locked in place as well before revealing a bet multiplier and resetting the spin counter to three.

Keep an eye on the 8th reel, the very top horizontal scroll called Bonus Reel, where again some special icons can appear on every spin. Any stopping in the centre of the Bonus Reel will award extras that could have a significant impact on your potential winnings from the round. The oil valves at the bottom will open again and randomly select the reels where the current extras will be applied.

• Adder: Adds x1 to x5 to the bet multipliers of all gold coin bags on the selected reels.
• Multiplier: Multiplies by x2, x5 or x10 the bet multipliers on all gold coin bags on the selected reels.
• Expander: Expands the selected reels by 1 symbol position, up to a maximum of 7.
• Collector: A safe is placed on a random empty position and collects once all bet multipliers in view.
• Gold: A gold coin bag with a random bet multiplier is added to each of the six reels with empty positions.
• Extra Spin: The number of spins is increased to 4.
• Lucky Streak: The most desired symbol. Once it landed, the first 5 special icons will appear with a much higher frequency.

The bonus game continues until you run out of spins or fill the screen with gold coin bags. Once concluded, all bet multipliers in view are added for the total win from the round, which will be added to any potential winnings from the triggering spin.

Last but not least, players residing in countries where feature buys are not yet restricted can hit the Buy Bonus button to purchase a bonus feature for a one-time amount of 100x bet. A selector screen will appear after hitting the button from where you can choose either the Free Spins feature or the Gold Rush Bonus Game. Once done, the game will start a spin with the guarantee to land at least four oil rig scatters or gold coin bags based on your selection.

Final Verdict

Black Gold 2 Megaways is a rather stunning sequel to the original slot from 2019, retaining some of the popular features while also introducing ample new modifiers and the Gold Rush bonus game. The overall win potential is to be confirmed, although we estimate it to be well north of 20,000x bet.
