Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is delighted to announce the launch of Gold Fever Fortune™ in the B3/LBO market.

Gold Fever Fortune™ offers the tantalizing possibility of uncovering riches hidden deep within the mines. Players should prepare for an adventure filled with excitement as they watch progressive cash pots grow, uncover Streak Spins promising guaranteed wins or bonus awards, and delve into the Gold Rush Board, where a multitude of cash prizes await discovery.

Landing three bag symbols triggers the coveted Pot Picker Bonus. The aim of the bonus is to match three bag symbols and seize a prize from the bronze, silver, or gold pot. With each spin, the progressive cash pots grow and the game transforms into a mine scene where players encounter three trails adorned with gold, silver, and bronze bags, each holding the promise of hidden treasures. As players make their selections, the excitement mounts, with every discovery contributing to their corresponding trail.

The reels ignite when three or more dynamite symbols land in view to trigger the Streak Spins bonus, where every spin guarantees a win or bonus award. Players detonate a “pick me” symbol to unveil the number of streak spins won. The unchosen symbols will also explode, showing what could have been.

Cash prizes await discovery in the Gold Rush Board bonus. This bonus, awarded by three or more miner scatter symbols, transforms the slot game into a board game. Rolling the dice reveals the number of moves as players navigate the board. Landing on highlighted squares awards cash prizes; lantern squares will illuminate a trail and Gimme Gold squares increase cash value. The “Hazard” squares trigger a miner character pop-up with three outcomes: continue, end bonus, or manic miner (highlighted squares are awarded before returning to the hazard square position).

For an alternative to the base game, players can give Fortune Spins a try. Fortune Spins offers the following prizes: Fortune Spins, Streak Spins, Gold Rush Bonus and Pot Picker Bonus. To kick off the game, players choose from three options: Fortune Spins (1 in 10 chance), Super Fortune Spins (1 in 20 chance) and Mega Fortune Spins (1-50 chance).

The feature begins with a choice of three wagons, each filled with gold, silver, bronze or nothing at all. If three full wagons appear in view, the player must choose a wagon that will reveal an award.

The combination of exciting bonuses with a multi and cash gamble makes for a true gaming adventure sure to delight players.

Richard Terry, UK Market Product Director, said, “We’re thrilled to be releasing Gold Fever Fortune. This unique ‘Gold Miner’-themed game combines engaging features like Fortune Spins, Cash Gamble, progressive cash pots and so much more for a truly unforgettable gaming experience. We’re confident that our B3 customers will love the one-of-a-kind gameplay and the game’s innovative mechanics.”
