Mining-themed slots are not everyone’s cup of tea. Usually accompanied by a jingling country soundtrack, they are still being pushed out by nearly any studio on the market. Blueprint Gaming is the provider to do so with a Megaways-themed mining slot called Lucky Nugget Megaways. As the name suggests, you’ll be mining lucky nuggets in this one across 117,649 winning ways for prizes worth thousands of times your stake.

A medium to highly volatile slot with an RTP of 95.5%, Lucky Nugget plays out on a 6x5 grid with 15,625 ways to win. Money Symbol collections in the Bonus Round can deliver wins up to 2,000x on their own. Multipliers can also be upgraded in the Bonus Round and may lead to payouts up to 25,000x the stake.

Lucky Nugget Megaways is available for fun and real money at slot casinos. Upgrade those multipliers and help the prospector collect nuggets and diamonds in the Bonus Game to mine the biggest wins.

You know what Megaways slots look like, right? This one has the familiar 6-7 setup with 15,625 winning ways to start with. Those are more than enough to hit the biggest rewards. Visually, the slot is set in a mine shaft as expected. The symbols feature mining equipment that ranges from axes, picks, and mining helmets to carts full of golden nuggets.

The cart and diamond are the two top-paying premiums, delivering wins of 200x and 10x respectively for six. The axes and picks are the other premiums along with some other mining equipment, while the card royals represent the low-win symbols.

Blueprint Gaming has done a great job with the visuals and audio, so the slot will immerse you into the atmosphere of a deep gold mine shaft.

Like most new slots online, you can spin the Lucky Nuggets Megaways reels on the go with ease. It can be played on Android and iOS devices. Thanks to the HTML5 engine, it runs via mobile browsers with no app download required.

Adjust your bet to what you feel works best for you – the range goes from $0.10 to $10 per spin. The default is $1 and we think it’s a good option for new players. Hit the Spin button and you’ll start minin’ for those shiny golden nuggets in the background.

You’ll hit the biggest rewards by landing six of those gold nugget carts and diamonds. The Prospector Wild is only available in the Bonus Round. Surprisingly, cascades aren’t a part of the gameplay this time. You score a win, you get paid without Rolling Reels. As mentioned earlier, there are 15,625 ways to win in this slot, and those vary depending on the number of symbols that land per reel.

Like in most slots with free spins, three or more Scatters will trigger the Free Spins Round. This is where the Prospector Wild comes into play. He’s the key to collecting the values from all those gold and diamonds while also playing his Wild role of substituting for other symbols in winning combinations. The gold nuggets come with values up to 50x, while diamonds can pay up to 2,000x if the Prospector appears on the reels with them.

The Prospector itself is also collected. For every 4 Prospectors, you get 10 extra spins and a multiplier upgrade – x2, x4, and x10 per four, eight, and twelve collected Wilds.

Additionally, the Free Spins Round comes with 1 or 2 modifiers:

• Big Blast Bonanza: the Prospector throws dynamite that explodes and transforms other symbols into money symbols;
• Gold Rush: all money symbols are held for a respin, and if a new money symbol lands, you get another respin.

The Lucky Nuggets Megaways slot RTP is set to a somewhat low 95.5%. However, that’s always the case with Megaways slot games since they offer unique modifiers and other features that can deliver big wins. The maximum you can win in this slot is 25,000x the stake.

Lucky Nuggets Megaways is one of the better mining slots for real money that may not break it for everyone, but it’s nonetheless cool. Slot fans will miss cascades and more features in the base game, but otherwise, it’s a solid Megaways title that can pay stunning sums of cash. Just make sure to have the prospector on the reels during the Bonus Round. He’s key to landing those money and diamond values and gold-wroth cash prizes.
