Not a penny slot
Gold Rally is not a suitable slot if you want to make tiny wagers, because the smallest possible wager is €/$/£2. Also, you can only win the progressive jackpot on a €/$/£16 bet.
Theme
The theme for Gold Rally is gold mining in the 19th century. Examples of symbols that can appear dynamite, scales, horseshoes, a revolver, a pick axe, the mining lantern, a mining trolley, and – of course – gold.
During the interactive bonus round, it’s your time to go searching for gold.

Betting on Gold Rally
You decide how many of the eight paylines to activate.
You can’t decide how many coins to bet per activated payline; it is always one coin.
You can’t change the coin value; it is fixed. If you play in Euro, it is always €2.
Smallest possible bet (in Euro): 1 payline x 1 coin x €2 = €2
Biggest possible bet (in Euro): 8 paylines x 1 coin x €2 = €16
You can only win the progressive jackpot when you play with 8 active paylines.
No traditional reels
Gold Rally looks like it has three reels, but each of the nine symbols actually spin individually.
The scale symbol is your key to the progressive jackpot
The scale symbol is a scatter symbol and it counts even when it appears on paylines that are inactive. You need to get 9 scales to win the progressive jackpot.
- 9 scales and you win the progressive jackpot
- 8 scales and you win 200 times your wager
- 7 scales and you win 50 times your wager
- 6 scales and you win 10 times your wager
- 5 scales and you win 5 times your wager
You can only win the progressive jackpot on an 8 coin wager.
Interactive Bonus Round
If the dynamite symbol appears in all four corners at the same time, the interactive gold mining bonus round will start. A map will appear on screen, and it is your task to chose between the various red X markings and start digging for gold at your chosen spot.
Free Spin round
Regrettably, there is no free spin round on Gold Rally.
Can I play Gold Rally on a touch-screen device?
Yes you can! The version of Gold Rally that was launched back in 2002 was naturally not adapted for touch-screen, but later on Playtech released an updated version for smartphones and tablets.
