Jumping for Gold Slot Review 2024

Jumping for Gold

Jumping for Gold is a classic slot, a simple game which has 3 reels and only one payline. Amaya is the company behind this game, which offers a wild symbol and a $20,000 top prize.

The game's title indicates that it's about horse races with obstacle jumping, at least that's what we get when we look at the image from the bottom of the screen, below the reels. We get the reels first, at the top. The betting and the paytable buttons are located right below it. The game logo and the horse with its jockey are at the bottom, which is an unusual location for it (usually designers choose to place it at the top). The symbols which the player can get when he spins the reels include the horse, the gold medal, silver medal, bronze medal, the 3 Gold Bar, the 2 Silver Bar and the 1 Bronze Bar symbols.

The game's bets are easy enough to understand, allowing for 1 to 3 coins to be used, with values of up to $5 each one. The number of coins used will determine which column from the paytable applies to your bets, with the 3 coin wager offering the bigger prizes, of up to 4000 coins (or $20,000).

The horse symbol will get you that $20,000 prize, if you used 3 coins of $5 each, and you got three identical symbols on the game's only payline. That symbol is used as a wild in the game, substituting for others and helping to create new combinations. The wild will multiply the prizes by 2 when there is one present in a combo, and by 4 when there are two wilds contributing.

The second combination present on the paytable is the one formed by the gold, silver and bronze medals (in this order). They will pay 300 to 900 coins, for bets which use between 1 and 3 coins.

The next three combinations which the player can get are the ones with three gold medals, three silver medals or three bronze medals.

Various other potential combinations can be formed, combining different types of medals, or symbols of a certain metal (for example, Gold medal with 3 Gold Bar symbols on the same payline).

Even the blank space can be valuable here, as long as you have the payline fully occupied by them. They will only pay 1 to 3 coins though, so better hope for something else to show up.

The game is fun, especially since it has the wild feature with its multipliers, but the jackpot helps as well with the appeal.
