Nugget Ridge

Our recorded Nugget Ridge bonus

We have opened Nugget Ridge once on 4 Sep 2026 on stream and logged the result. The best of them paid 24.1× the bet. That is too few open to say anything about how the game behaves — it is a record of what happened on that occasion, nothing more.

Relax Gaming sends players out into a sun-baked desert for Nugget Ridge, a 5-reel, 3-row slot built around sacks of gold nuggets, pickaxes, lanterns and mine carts scattered across a dusty claim. A brighter, moonlit version of the same setting takes over once free spins begin.

Wins land across 15 fixed paylines running left to right. Wild West royals from J to A pay 4x the stake for a full line, while the picks, lanterns and carts pay between 10x and 25x for five matching symbols. A standard wild substitutes for everything except the scatter and can appear on any reel, with five wilds along a line worth 40x. A separate expanding wild — styled as a stick of dynamite — grows upward through its reel whenever it lands as part of a winning combination, and colossal wilds covering four positions at once can also turn up.

Landing two scatters in the base game triggers a respin round: the scatters convert into sticky wilds, and any further wild that lands during the respins sticks in place and grants another respin, keeping the sequence going as long as new wilds keep appearing.

Free spins open with three, four or five scatters, worth 7, 9 or 11 spins respectively, and collecting three or more scatters again during the round adds a further 3 spins. Every scatter that lands — the ones that triggered the round and any picked up afterward — stays locked in its position on the grid. On the very last spin, all of those stored scatters convert into wilds, and if more than one has landed on the same spot, they combine into a single wild multiplier scaled to how many stacked there, up to a cap of x5 per position; where more than one multiplying wild shares a winning line, their values multiply together.

A 60x bonus buy guarantees entry into the free spins round via the usual three-scatter trigger. Nugget Ridge pays out at up to 96.36% RTP, runs low-to-medium volatility, and carries a maximum win of 10,000x the stake, with a hit frequency of roughly 20.85% keeping the reels ticking over at a fairly steady pace for the game's volatility band.
