Goldstar Express Bonus Features
Wild symbols
The bonus features start with the game’s wild symbol. It can appear on all reels in the base game only, and substitutes for regular pay symbols to help you create winning combos and score payouts.
Prize Coin Symbols
Prize coins can appear with instant cash values between 1x and 10x or offer one of the following jackpot prizes, which are activated in the bonus game:
- Mini = 15x
- Minor = 50x
- Major = 150x
- Mega = 1,000x
Morphic Multipliers
The golden train has three gold wagons, each with a multiplier that increases in value as follows: x2, x3, x4, x5. The game starts with all train multipliers deactivated, and any Hold & Win bonus triggered will start with a x1 win multiplier.
After you have completed a Hold & Win bonus, the leftmost wagon will light up with the x2 multiplier, which will unlock the multiplier for your next Hold & Win bonus. This continues following each bonus, unlocking more multipliers for the bonus as follows:
- 1x Hold & Win – 1x and 2x multipliers
- 2x Hold & Win – 1x, 2x, and 3x multipliers
- 3x Hold & Win – 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x multipliers
- 4x Hold & Win – 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x multipliers available
Once multipliers are activated, they can appear in the corners of prize and jackpot coins, applying their values to the prize total.
Hold & Win Bonus
The Hold & Win bonus is activated when six or more prize coins land on a single spin. You and your triggering prize coins are transported to the bonus arena, where the bonus starts with three respins, and your activating coins locked in place on a reel set where only prize coins or blanks can land.
On each spin, if a new prize coin lands, it will also lock in place and reset your spins to three. The bonus ends when your respins run out or all reel positions are filled. Only when the grid is entirely filled with prize coins will the Grand Jackpot of 5,000x be awarded.
Ante Bet
At a cost of 1.5x the bet, you can activate the ante bet and increase your chances of triggering the Hold & Win bonus. This does not impact the value of payline wins, which remain at base bet value.
Coin Shower
Randomly, a coin shower can occur when at least one prize coin is on the reels, adding enough extra coins to trigger the bonus game.
