The game disconnects if you do not take any actions for a specific number of consecutive minutes (this number varies depending on jurisdiction); the session recovery feature will save the game progress so that the next time the game is loaded, you can continue where you left off.

In the event of technical difficulties resulting in a dropped connection to the game server, the game you were playing is saved automatically and will load the next time you establish a connection to the game server. You will not be able to reconnect to the game server for the first 30 seconds after the disconnection.

In case of malfunction all pays and play are voided; any bet that was not yet accepted will be voided, any bet that was unsettled will be refunded.

The Gold Link Respins feature is over once all respins have been used or all available positions are filled with Gold Nuggets.

Note: The values displayed on the Gold Nuggets are shown in the selected currency/coin.

3.4. Reel Boosters

During Gold Link Respins different Gems can land on the reels.

Collecting 3 Gems of the same kind will trigger a booster.

Reels Boosted

Collecting 3 Blue Gems will unlock an extra row. The maximum number of rows you can unlock is 3.

Values Boosted

Collecting 3 Green Gems will increase all landed values to the next possible value (i.e 0.20 > 0.40 > 0.60 etc.)

Cash Boosters can only be collected a maximum of 3 times in a respins round, once this is reached no more Cash Boosters will be awarded.

Spins+ Boosted

Collecting 3 Red Gems will award an extra Respin for the remaining of the round, and every time the counter is reset it will be with the boosted spin amount.

Multiplier Boosted

Collecting 3 Purple Gems will increase the multiplier level. The first 3 Purple Gems will award the 2x multiplier, the next 3 will award 3x multiplier and the final 3 will award 5x multiplier. You can not win any other Purple Gems after winning the 5x multiplier.

Possible Values during Respins are as follows in times bet values: x1, x2, x3, x5, x7, x10, x15, x20, x25, x30, x40, x50, x100, x200, x300, x500, x750 & x1,000.

Any multiplier won during Respins will be applied to the final win amount at the end of the round.

During the normal spins Gold Diggin' Gus has a bunch O'tools to help you find those winnings:

Dynamite - turns from 3 to 5 symbols Wild;
Pickaxe - can transform random symbols into Gold Nuggets;
