Gold Blitz Slot Review
Gold Blitz is a new video slot from Fortune Factory studios that was released on December 20, 2022. This slot machine has a more traditional look and feel to it. The reels display a variety of images, ranging from the royals to equally uninteresting symbols like dollar signs, bells, gold coins, or gold bars. It has a somewhat modern appearance, but you shouldn't anticipate anything particularly amazing from it.

A delicious riff playing in your headphones as you spin the wheels is the key component that truly gets your heart rate up and gets your blood pumping.

Our Experience Playing Gold Blitz
When we started playing this slot, we were greeted with a bright looking reelset and cool sounding guitar driven music in the background. Since we heard that this slot was not particularly exciting, we hoped to prove ourselves wrong. The main focus of our test was the payout potential of this slot machine and its entertainment value. In order for us to do this task, we resorted to our tried-and-true method, which included making a deposit of 200 Euros, lowering the stake to 1 euro, and playing the game for something in the neighborhood of 300 rounds. During the first 100 spins of our session, we did not activate any bonus rounds, however, thanks to the Collect Feature, we did receive 3 payouts that were 10 to 15 times our original wager. The remaining payouts were not particularly noteworthy, and as a result, we ended up losing 27 Euros. During our next 100 spins, we were teased a lot of times with 2 Scatters, but still did not trigger the bonus round. The situation with payouts was similar to the previous attempt with the majority of somewhat decent payouts happening from the Collect Feature, and as a result our bankroll dropped to 163 Euros. During the course of our final 100 spins, we triggered the bonus feature twice, the first time we chose the Free Spins and won 83 times our bet, and the second time we chose the Gold Blitz Feature that paid us 69 times our bet. Those generous payouts during bonus features and a couple of decent wins here and there during the main game allowed us to be 24 Euros in profit after 300 spins. Overall, our experience was quite pleasant, but the gameplay by the end of it became a little bit too monotone.
Gold Blitz Verdict
This slot does not really offer anything particularly innovative in terms of features or game design to be honest. However, the payouts during the bonus feature may attract some gamblers, but you have to wait for them for quite some time. Taking into consideration this slot’s volatility, we would advise you to look for something more exciting in terms of entertainment value because the payouts seem not that significant. Overall, if you are looking for something new to try, you could give this slot a shot. Good luck and have fun!
