Mine Blown

Mine Blown Slot Review

Mine Blown takes the classic mining theme and blows it to pieces, literally! Instead of the usual pickaxes and hard-working miners, you get thunderous electric guitar riffs echoing through the depths of the mine, setting the stage for what feels more like a rock concert than a dig site. NetEnt has smashed this cliché to pieces, just like the idea that a game needs more than two types of Free Spins. More on our Slot Review.

Info

As you've probably noticed, the game features a 5-reel setup with 10 ways to win. The Best RTP is a solid 96.15%, paired with High Volatility according to the provider’s mathematical model. As for betting, the range is pretty modest, starting from €0.20 up to just €2 per spin.

Mine Blown Free Demo

Before playing for Real Money Slot, we highly recommend trying out the Demo Mode (Free Slot version). It's not only a great way to get a first-hand look at the game but also lets you play without any risk.

Bonus Feature

During the game, a random number of dynamite symbols can appear on the grid. Each time one lands, it explodes, turning symbols into Wilds. Moreover, if a TNT symbol hits, it can transform adjacent symbols into Wilds as well.

To trigger the Free Spins round, you'll need to land two Trigger symbols on reels 1 and 3, along with one Scatter on reel 5. During this feature, any Wilds that appear will remain locked in place until the round ends. Plus, if you land an extra Scatter, you'll be rewarded with 3 additional spins.

Now, let's talk about the second type of Free Spins - the Bonus Game. It's triggered the same way as the standard Free Spins, except instead of a Scatter on reel 5, you'll need a Bonus symbol. Once activated, you'll be greeted by a mining cart loaded with a starting multiplier of x3. Any Vein symbols that land will be collected by the cart. TNT and dynamite symbols can also appear, but instead of creating Wilds, they reveal hidden Vein symbols. These symbols accumulate in the cart and are awarded at the end of the feature. Here are the different types of Vein symbols you can find:

Undiscovered Vein – doesn't increase the cart multiplier but can explode when hit by Dynamite or TNT, revealing other Vein symbols.

• Gold Vein – increases the cart multiplier by +1.
• Sapphire Vein – increases the cart multiplier by +3.
• Emerald Vein – increases the cart multiplier by +5 and awards +1 extra spin.
• Ruby Vein – increases the cart multiplier by +10 and awards +1 extra spin.
• Diamond Vein – increases the cart multiplier by +25 and awards +3 extra spins.

Both bonus features can also be purchased via Bonus Buy slot.

Verdict

To sum it up, Mine Blown is a decent slot with its own pros and cons. Let's start with the good - the Bonus Game is the only real source of significant wins, and everything comes down to how well the Vein symbols stack up, keeping the excitement going. However, despite the impressive max win of x20,000, it feels a bit underwhelming when paired with a €2 bet. So if you're expecting the same experience as other mining-themed slots, think again, Mine Blown takes a different approach.
