Working as a miner is one of the toughest and most dangerous jobs out there and I for one would not want to do it. I salute the ones who do and they definitely have my utmost respect for the risks they take and the harsh conditions they work in. At least technology has helped make things a bit more safe these days but can you imagine how things were back in the day?
Gold is Never Enough
Red Tiger Gaming recently released a new mining adventure called Gold Mine Mistress. Slots with a mining theme have always been popular online and a lot of it has to do with the thrill of finding gold nuggets of course. According to the Gold Mine Mistress however, gold is never enough!

Fire in the Hole
Besides the quest for gold, I would say the common denominator between slots with this theme are old, rugged miners with a long beard, hard hats, pickaxes and of course a ton of dynamite.
Can the Gold Mine Mistress provide the same level of explosive action as many of its competitors? Let’s find out!

Great Graphics Set the Bar
Red Tiger continues to deliver great looking slots. This graphics are sharp and the layout is also interesting with the holes sitting above the reels and the mine entrance in the background. Considering there are traffic lights above the entrance, it feels quite modern.

Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho
I can’t tell if these 4 miners are related or not but it definitely looks like it, don’t you think? One thing is for sure, we can check off the bearded miner, hard hats as well as the pickaxe from the list.
Whenever you see this many different miners, my mind always takes me back to the Seven Dwarfs. Most of us can still hear them sing the words “Heigh-Ho” as they march to work.
20,000x Max Win
With a classic 5×3 reel setup and only 20 paylines, I’m not expecting miracles but there is a 20,000x max multiplier hiding in the Bonus Round, which sounds tempting enough.

Spin number 8 is a guaranteed win
Get Ready for a Guaranteed Win
Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to mining but Red Tiger wanted to change things around to give players some hope. Every spin is numbered from 1-8 and looking above the last reel, you will see the counter for it.
The reason for this is that no matter the results leading up to your 8th spin, this one will give you a Guaranteed Win!
Your respin is here to help
Respin Until You Win
Check this out. Should the 8th spin for any reason end up winless after all, you will be granted a respin until you get that win!
Look at that thing shine
Collect the Golden Nuggets
During the first 7 spins, you might see a Gold Nugget land in the middle reel. Each Nugget that you land will be collected in a progress bar above the reels. If you collect at least one of the Nuggets, you can expect the Mistress WIld to show up on the 8th spin.
The Mistress will bring you a Multiplier
Meet the Mistress Wild
The Mistress Wild can appear in a few different sizes as well as bringing you a Multiplier. Her size is actually based on how many Gold Nuggets you manage to collect during your first 7 spins. She will show up as a regular 1×1 symbol or a 1×3, covering the entire middle reel.
The 1×3 Mistress with a 2x Multiplier
Let me show you how each Gold Nugget will affect the Mistress Wild:
- 1 Nugget = 1×1 in Size
- 2 Nuggets = 1×1 in Size + a 2x Multiplier
- 3 Nuggets = 1×1 in Size + a 3x Multiplier
- 4 Nuggets = 1×3 in Size + a 2x Multiplier
- 5 Nuggets = 1×3 in Size + a 3x Multiplier
- 6 Nuggets = 1×3 in Size + a 10x Multiplier
- 7 Nuggets = 1×3 in Size + a 50x Multiplier
As you can see, the more Nuggets you collect, the bigger the prize on the 8th spin.

How to Get Mistress Free Spins
In order to trigger Free Spins, you need to land a green apple on the 8th spin. To be honest, I never even saw the apple symbol when I played so clearly I wasn’t even close to the Bonus Round. At least when you’re chasing scatters etc, at least you feel like you have a chance but not even seeing the symbol you need wasn’t very motivating.
While you’re in the Bonus Round, the apple supposedly will move around with each spin and attach itself to a different symbol each time. You can also expect the Mistress to appear in any of the sizes and you can actually get more than one of them, each with a Multiplier.
The way the Bonus Round ends is by the Mistress Wild and the Apple ending up in the same position, which sounds like a unique choice.
Gold and crystals all around
Gold Mine Mistress – Pass or Play?
I have to be honest and say that I expected more from this slot. These miners came across as really lame compared to the ones in Fire in the Hole by Nolimit City and some of the other mining slots.
The collection of Gold Nuggets does add some excitement to every spin at least but I was even more curious how the 8 spin feature would perform. Unfortunately neither of them impressed me. I was perhaps even less impressed by the Mistress herself.
Let’s just say that the title Gold Mine Mistress sounds a lot more exciting than the game actually is. Sorry, Red Tiger, I’m not coming back to this one.
