Pickaxe Payday: Action Collect Slot Review

About the Game

Pickaxe Payday: Action Collect is a five-reel slot machine from Four Leaf Gaming with 20 paylines on a 5×3 grid and 25 paylines on a 5×4 grid. Winning combinations and payouts are calculated according to the paytable. Wins across multiple lines are cumulative. Wins are paid only for the longest matching combination for each symbol. Once a spin begins, the bet level for that round is locked and cannot be changed. Wins are represented in the user’s currency. The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols on the reels when calculating line wins, but does not substitute for the Free Spins symbol. The theoretical return to player (RTP) for this game is 96.00%. If a game round is interrupted, it can be restored by simply restarting the game. If the round is not restored, the round is voided in accordance with jurisdictional requirements or the operator’s policies and terms. The English version of the game rules prevails.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for all high and low symbols.

Action collect feature

Any spin can land one or more values ​​that are transferred to the active miner. When a gem lands in the mine cart, one of three features or any active feature is activated. The following combinations can be awarded:

• Red Miner – 8 free spins with extra money for the mine cart
• Blue Miner – 8 free spins with double action (5×4 reels active)
• Green Miner – 8 free spins with a constant multiplier

Any miner feature can be activated in any spin. Miner features can be activated in the main game by landing on the center reel with the collect feature.
