Get your mining gear ready, as we’re going deep underground. Join us as we explore every nook and cranny of the fresh addition to NetEnt’s lineup of games.

Going Deeper Underground

As you might have guessed by now, Mine Blown takes place in a mine. You’ll see pipes, fans, and claustrophobic surroundings – the perfect scenery for a new adventure. The visuals look nice, while a rock’n’roll soundtrack adds to the atmosphere.

The game takes place on a five-reel, three-row grid with 10 paylines. We should point out that paylines deliver wins in the base game and Free Spins. The slot’s bonus game relies on a collect cash value system to produce cash rewards. Volatility is high, while the RTP is 96%. Betting starts at $10, with $40 being the maximum amount you can wager on a spin.

All symbols in Mine Blown pay for at least three of a kind. Playing cards serve as low, paying from 10x to 50x for five-of-a-kind wins. On the other hand, mining-themed symbols like picks, shovels, lanterns, and helmets deliver pretty generous wins, ranging from 100x to 500x to five symbols across a payline. Wilds also appear on the reels, substituting for regulars to help complete additional wins. They also pay, but only for five matching symbols. In that case, they’ll deliver a handsome prize of 500x the bet.

Mine Blown: Features

When it comes to extras, players can look forward to trigger symbols, dynamite and TNT symbols, Free Spins, and Bonus Spins starring Vein symbols. Let’s start from the beginning.

Trigger Symbols

Trigger symbols appear on reels 1 and 3 during the base game. You’ll need two of them, which, combined with other special symbols, grant access to the Free Spins or bonus round. Land only two trigger symbols but no bonus symbol, and you’ll get the consolation prize of 3x your stake.

Dynamite and TNT Symbols

When a random number of dynamite symbols hit the reels, they’ll explode to turn other icons into Wilds. Apart from the dynamite, you can get a single TNT symbol, which also explodes to turn itself and the surrounding icons into Wilds.

Free Spins

Two trigger symbols plus one Free Spin symbol trigger the round and award ten spins. Land a Free Spins icon during the round, and three more freebies will be added to your count. Any Wilds appearing on the reels lock their position and stay there until the feature ends.

Bonus Spins

Two trigger symbols and a bonus symbol unlock three bonus spins. During these respins, only Vein symbols will appear on the grid. Once the round starts, you’ll see a mine card with a 3x in value. Now, all Vein symbols that find their way onto the reels will see their values collected by the card. In the end, players will receive the amount collected.

When dynamite explodes during bonus spins, it will transform icons into Vein symbols. The same goes for TNT symbols. Vein symbols play a crucial role in this feature, and they are available in the following forms:

• Undiscovered Vein symbols have no value, although they can explored to reveal other Vein icons.
• Gold Vein symbols boost the cart value by one.
• Sapphire Vein symbols increase the cart value by three.
• Emerald Vein symbols boost the cart value by five, plus they award an extra spin.
• Ruby Vein symbols increase the cart value by ten and award an additional spin.
• Diamond Vein symbols boost the cart value by 25 while awarding three extra spins.
