AvatarUX saddles up for a Wild West adventure in Nugget

Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX is set to go on a gold-digging adventure like no other in its latest unique feature-filled slot release, Nugget.

Nugget is the latest title to AvatarUX’s expansive portfolio, featuring the innovative set of features Golden Ways. Offering a perfect sync between the horizontal and vertical reels, together with the other game features, Golden Ways enhances the win potential and offers new fresh player experience. Introduced for the very first time in Donkey & the GOATS, this new set of features has gained great popularity among players and is a testament to the Studio’s constant strive for innovation and creativity.

The game’s initial 6×4 grid boasts a floating reel above- AvatarUX’s popular ZapReel™ feature – ensuring that every spin has a minimum of 15,625 ways to win in base play, which can significantly increase to more than 530,000 paylines.

Whenever a Payday symbol lands in view, one of the three Wild West is triggered. These include the HOTX Gunslinger, Mystery Symbols, and Low Pay Removal. Each activated reward comes with between one and four lives for the following spins, significantly boosting win potential.

The HOTX Gunslinger reward sees special symbols gain a multiplier equal to however many of the same icon are present on the reels. In addition, any Gunslingers on the ZapReel™ add the total multiplier value to its own unique one for boosted wins.

Random icons covered in golden nuggets appear in the Mystery Symbols reward, before revealing into matching symbols.

The Low Pay Removal gets rid of a random number of symbols, ensuring that only high paying icons remain for increased payout potential.

Three or more Scatters are required to launch the free spins round, where the player will be faced with two prospector wheels, a TAKE Wheel or GAMBLE Wheel. The TAKE Wheel randomly rolls a number of free spins and starting payways for the free spins round. The GAMBLE Wheel offers the chance to hit a higher number of ways and spins, but also risk losing the bonus completely.

During the bonus, the Gold Rush can be triggered. When this occurs, additional spins are awarded, while the frequency of both Gunslinger and Payday symbols hitting the reels is greatly increased.

In selected jurisdictions, players can also choose from a great selection of different bonus options and ante bets, which can be triggered with the XPRESS in-game option.

The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.

Lara Falzon, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “Nugget is a Wild West thriller that pushes players to the limit, with Gunslingers galore filling the reels as players look for a max win of 25,000x.

“We want to create titles that really challenge what we’re capable of, and Nugget sees us diversifying again our portfolio of games and products. With the new and innovative Golden Ways, we are bringing a brand new experience to our players and offering a fresh addition to our portfolio.
