About the Game

• MAXIMUM WIN. Win up to 15,000x!

Grunt Gold is a 6×4 cascading win game from Bullshark Games and Hacksaw Gaming, featuring a win-ways mechanic and a maximum win potential of 15,000x your bet. Token symbols fill three reward chests—Green, Blue, and Red—each unlocking different boosters: cluster symbols, added Wild symbols, or powerful multipliers. Filling multiple chests at once can trigger chaotic combinations on the grid! Landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers free spins, where all three reward chests become progressive, increasing in power throughout the round for even more excitement. With every cascade, every token symbol, and every booster, the dungeon intensifies. With ferocious orcs, deadly weapons, and treasures hidden deep in the darkness, Grunt Gold is a battle for riches like no other.

Game Features

Reward Chests

Three Reward Chests appear above the reels. Token symbols add points to fill the Reward Chests and activate their boosters.

Green Reward Chest

5 or 6 points: Adds a cluster of 3 or 4 matching symbols to random positions on the grid. 7 points: Adds a cluster of 5 or 6 matching symbols to random positions on the grid. Any paying symbol except the Wild symbol can be added. Added symbols do not replace existing Wild symbols. If there are no available positions, fewer or no symbols are added.

Blue Reward Chest

5 or 6 points: Adds 1 or 2 Wild symbols to random positions on the grid. 7 points: Adds 3 or 4 Wild symbols to random positions on the grid. Added Wild symbols do not replace existing Wild symbols. If there are no available positions, fewer or no symbols are added.

Red Reward Chest

5 or 6 points: Adds 2 or 3 multipliers to random symbols on the grid. 7 points: Adds 4 or 5 multipliers to random symbols on the grid. Possible Multiplier values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x. When symbols with multipliers contribute to a win, their multipliers are applied to that win. Multipliers placed on symbols that already have a multiplier are added together. When multiple symbols with multipliers contribute to a win, their multipliers are added together and then applied to the win. The Green and Blue Reward Chest boosters are applied at the end of the spin after the grid stabilizes. The Red Reward Chest booster is applied immediately after the cascade points are added. If both the Green and Blue Reward Chests accumulate 5 or more points in a single spin, the Green Reward Chest booster is applied first, followed by the Blue Reward Chest booster. After applying the booster, the points for that Reward Chest are reset. In the main game, all Reward Chest points are reset at the start of each spin.

Special Symbols

Token Symbol

Adds a random number of points to one Reward Chest. Points are added immediately after the symbol appears, after which the token symbol is removed along with winning symbols or on its own if there is no win. The possible number of points added is 1-7. Sometimes the token symbol can add a random number of points to all three Reward Chests simultaneously. Each Chest can accumulate up to 7 points, after which no more points are added to that Chest.

Wild Symbol

Substitutes for any point-paying symbol.

Scatter Symbol

Behaves like the FS symbol.
