Rocky’s Gold Ultraways Review
We’ve seen the Ultraways engine once before, namely in Northern Light Gaming’s Golden Stallion, but the number of win ways was limited to less than 200K in that installment. This number has been beefed up significantly in Rocky's Gold Ultraways however, as up to 4 symbols per position maxes the grid out with 60 million win ways.
The prospector, Rocky, who admittedly looks more like a farmer than a miner (he’s probably both for all we know), greets you hello before he disappears presumably to look for gold in his nearby mine. He reappears at random times to help you out with wild transformation dynamite sticks, and you get to visit his mine to pick spins/multiplier stones before the bonus round plays out.

Each position can land single, double or quadruple symbols, and this is how you get the dynamic reels Ultraways effect with up to 60 million ways to win. The premium symbols pay between 0.9 and 1.1 x your stake for 10 of a kind wins, and Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild pays the same as the top-tier logo symbol if you land pure wild wins.

Rocky, the prospector, can appear at random times and throw dynamite onto the grid. Up to 6 sticks can be thrown, and these turn regular symbols into wilds. The dynamite sticks replace both single, double and quad symbols, just to be clear.
You need 3 bonus symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Round, but landing only 2 scatters can give you a Rocky Respin chance to land the 3rd scatter.
You get to pick a rock from the mine before the bonus round starts, and this determines the number of spins and win multiplier. You can get an upgrade symbol to get better rocks to pick from, but 2 upgrades is the most you can hope for. The feature can also be purchased for 55x the stake (not in the UK).The 200 Spins Rocky's Gold Ultraways Slot Experience
You get to see a couple of smaller wins, as well as a near-miss rocky respin scatter teaser in the base game. We then purchase the bonus round at 0:45 into the 4:25-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how it all went by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
The Ultraways system admittedly does make this gold mining slot stand out from the herd, but visually it’s not as impressive. It’s kind of strange how Rocky the prospector just takes off as soon as the game starts, but he pops in on different occasions and not least to lob dynamites onto the grid.
Up to 60 million ways to win sounds like a lot, but you’ll usually see far lower numbers than that on the sign to the left.The grid kind of feels less dynamic than it actually is as well, but a screen full of quad symbols would admittedly be a sight to behold. Still, it doesn’t guarantee a payout, as you need matching symbols to win. With so many ways to win, the 11,500x potential seems almost small. It is around the average number for the Megaways engine however, so we can’t really complain about it. Rocky's Gold Ultraways is a decent effort from Northern Lights Gaming, but we’ve seen better visuals from this developer.
Pros
- Double and quad symbols for up to 60M win ways
- Up to 6 random symbol to wild transformations
- FS w/ random and upgradable multiplier/spins pick
- Win up to 11,500x your stake
Cons
- Beware of customizable RTP ranges
If you appreciate Rocky's Gold Ultraways Slot you should also try:
Rocky's Gold - is the original release from Northern Lights, and it comes with a regular 5x3 grid with 20 paylines. You get plenty of modifier action in this version though, and the bonus round comes with modifying reels that can hold over in between spins.
Gold Digger Megaways - is a medium volatile mining-themed release from iSoftBet, and it comes with the licensed dynamic reels grid with up to 117,649 ways to win. You get 4 different mining modifiers in the base game, and 5 modifiers in the Hold & Win bonus round.
Fire in the Hole xBomb - is one to try if you want a different kind of mining slot experience, and this extremely volatile NoLimit City release revolves around an alcoholic dwarf digging for his long lost case of beer. You get xBomb Wilds that increase the multiplier, and the streak respins bonus round can lead to 60,000x payouts.
