Inside the Where's the Gold Pokie<\/h3>\n

Pick your miner, and the whole free-games round bends to that choice. Aristocrat's own game page describes it plainly \u2014 during the free games feature, "players get the choice in selecting 1 character from 5 options and collect between 3 \u2013 10 free games and\/or 1, 2 or 3 Symbols." So you choose 1 of 5 characters, and that pick sets your mix: somewhere from 3 to 10 free games, plus 1, 2, or 3 extra symbols. Fewer spins with more symbols, or more spins with fewer. Those Where's the Gold free spins are the whole hook, and chasing the Where's the Gold demo is usually about testing that pick before you commit.<\/p>\n \n More Pokies <\/svg><\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
