Pacific Gold Bonus Features & Jackpots

Elk Studios packed the Pacific Gold slot full of exciting bonus features, including an Avalanche bonus feature which adds more win ways and rows. Let’s take a look at all the available bonus features:

Avalanche Bonus Feature: Whenever you form winning combinations, an Avalanche feature is activated. The winning symbols are replaced by new symbols, which will fall down to fill the spaces, with a new row added at the top. For example, the rows could go up to 8, increasing the win ways from the standard 4,096 to 262,144.

When you no longer form winning combinations, the feature ends, and the winning ways return to 4,096.

Big Symbol Feature: The symbols in Pacific Gold can land on the reels in 4 different sizes. The standard 1x1 size, a super size (2x2), a mega size (3x3) and an epic size (4x4). The bigger size counts the same way as the standard 1x1 symbols. 

So, for example, if you land epic symbols and they form part of a winning combination, they will count as 4 standard symbols. Additionally, if they land above empty spaces, they are automatically filled with the same symbol but in1x1 sizes.

Power Stack Feature: The Power Stack feature happens when a symbol comes with the number 4 attached. Symbols with this number represent stacks of 4 matching symbols, and the number increases by 2 for each Avalanche win in which the power stack symbol is not included.

Pacific Wave Feature: In the Pacific Wave feature, symbols have golden frames and land in horizontal stacks and can be in sizes 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4. If there are empty spaces beneath it, they will be filled with wild symbols. 

Ghost Box Feature: In the Ghost Box feature, symbols that are part of a win are collected by a Ghost Box symbol. The big symbols are broken apart and collected as 1×1 symbols. When no more wins occur, the symbols collected are distributed row by row, starting with the most common symbols.

Pacific Wave Free Drops Feature: Pacific Wave Free Drops is the main bonus feature of this game. It is activated when 3 or more plane scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. Depending on how many scatter symbols trigger the feature, you will receive between 10 and 25 Free Drops (bonus spins).

• 3 scatter symbols are worth 10 drops.
• 4 scatter symbols award 15 drops.
• 5 scatter symbols award 20 drops.
• 6 scatter symbols award 25 drops.

If you form winning combinations during the Free Drops and trigger Avalanche wins, the Safety Level feature expands the grid by 1 row, potentially giving you 8 rows and 262,144 win ways. Otherwise, the bonus round continues as usual if no winning combinations are formed.

Moreover, if you land 3 more scatter symbols during the Free Drops, you will get an additional drop. Lastly, should the Ghost Box appear in this feature, it will remain sticky and then explode to distribute the symbols it collected when your Free Drops are over. 

Pacific Gold RTP & Volatility

The Pacific Gold slot has an RTP rate of 95%. The volatility is medium.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The Pacific Gold slot is centred around a missing cargo plane, where the main character, Kane, takes it upon himself to locate the missing aircraft. He lands on what seems to be a mysterious island.

The background looks eerie and misty, with a green-coloured haze that makes the scene look almost apocalyptic. The soundtrack is equally spooky with spine-chilling tones. Symbols include creepy ghost masks in colours blue, red and purple, as well as Kane. The low-value symbols are A, Q, K, and J card royals with green, blue and red swirling patterns.

Pacific Gold Review Summary

The Pacific Gold slot is another addition of Elk Studios in the Gold series. It is full of a foreboding atmosphere and exciting bonus features. The expanding rows and win ways are a nice touch as they may increase your chances of landing winning combinations due to the extra opportunity.

If you’re a fan of wild symbols, then the Pacific Wave bonus on one of the upper rows, which fills the areas beneath the Pacific Wave with wild symbols, is sure to grab your attention. The RTP rate may be a slightly low, but the potential to win up to an impressive 10,000x your wager helps make up for this.
