Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Gold Blitz Express is a video slot from Fortune Factory Studios with 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 ways to win. The game comes with a Min.bet of 0.2, a Max.bet of 150, and an RTP of 96.5%. The hit frequency sits at 28.22%, and the volatility is high, which means you might have to endure some dry spells before landing those glittering rewards. The max win caps at 1,999x the bet.
Gold Blitz Express is set in a blue and black infinite space with lightning shooting towards the middle of the screen. The dark reels have a thick golden frame, and on top of them is a golden train. The game has poppy music, and the reels are quite noisy when they stop. You make wins by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting on the first reel to the left. Gold Blitz Express runs smoothly across all platforms, so you can choose if you want to enter this world on your mobile, tablet, or desktop computer.
The lower-paying symbols in Gold Blitz Express are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying between 1x and 1.5x the bet for a six-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are horseshoes, bells, coins, gold bars, and $-signs, which reward between 2x and 5x the bet for a five-of-a-kind combo. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all these regular symbols to complete winning combinations, but not for the Scatter, Blitz Express, Cash, or Collect Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Gold Blitz Express?
You can win up to 1,999x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Gold Blitz Express?
The features are Wild Symbol, Blitz Express Feature, Rising Rewards Instant Win Jackpot, Collect Feature, Bonus Choice, Free Spins, Gold Blitz, Gold Blitz Respins, Bonus Recharge, Win Booster, and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbol
Wild symbols can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations, except the Scatter, Blitz Express, Cash, and Collect symbols. They appear on reels 2 through 6 during the base game.
Blitz Express Feature
Landing the Blitz Express symbol on reel 6 triggers this feature. Once activated, it awards between 5 and 20 prizes consisting of Cash rewards and Jackpots, ranging from 0.5x to 9x the bet. Each Jackpot can be collected multiple times. If Blitz Express triggers alongside the Bonus Choice, it plays first. This feature cannot occur simultaneously with Gold Blitz Respins or the Rising Rewards Instant Win Jackpot.
Rising Rewards Instant Win Jackpot
This feature adds an extra layer of tension with tokens that increase the Jackpot value by 0.1x to 0.5x the bet each time one appears. The Jackpot can trigger at any time in the base game, Free Spins, or Gold Blitz. Once claimed, it resets to its base value, and the process starts over.
Collect Feature
Collect symbols land on reels 1 and 6 in the base game and the Gold Blitz feature, while Cash symbols can appear on all reels. When a Collect and Cash Symbol land together, the Collect Feature triggers, awarding all visible Cash prizes ranging from 0.5x to 9x the bet.
Bonus Choice
Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols on reels 2–5 activates the Bonus Choice. Three Scatters grant 1x the bet and let you pick between 8 Free Spins or 5 Gold Blitz spins. Four Scatters increase that to 2x the bet and give you 12 Free Spins or 7 Gold Blitz spins.
Free Spins
Choosing Free Spins brings Expanding Wilds into play. These can appear on reels 2–5 and expand to fill their reel when part of a winning way. Scatter retriggers are possible, with 2, 3, or 4 Scatters granting 5, 8, or 12 extra spins.
Gold Blitz
The Gold Blitz option focuses entirely on Cash, Collect, and Blitz Express symbols without any distractions. Every 3 Collect symbols increase your Cash multiplier and add more spins, up to a maximum 5x multiplier and 14 extra spins.
Gold Blitz Respins
Sometimes, Collect symbols appear on reels 1 and 6 without Cash symbols. When that happens, the Gold Blitz Respins feature gives you a second chance for free. Reels 1 and 6 lock, and the middle reels respin with guaranteed Cash symbols.
Bonus Recharge
When your Gold Blitz feature ends, the game may tempt you with a Bonus Recharge option, where you can pay a preset sum to continue where you left off. It’s entirely optional, but it gives risk-takers a chance to keep their streak going.
Win Booster
Activate this feature to double your chances of triggering major bonuses. The Win Booster costs an extra base bet but doesn’t affect Cash or Jackpot values.
Feature Buy
If patience isn’t your strong suit, you can buy your way straight into the fun. For 100x your bet, you can purchase 8 Free Spins or 5 Gold Blitz spins, while 300x buys 12 Free Spins or 7 Gold Blitz spins.
Final Thoughts on Gold Blitz Express
Gold Blitz Express is one of those games that packs in so many features you almost need a notepad to keep track. However, many Gold Blitz games have been released over the years, and there’s nothing unique about this release. The symbols are the same as in Gold Blitz Express, and the features are also very similar.
With that said, the game comes with a fun mix of features. The Gold Blitz and Blitz Express modes are particularly entertaining, offering bursts of excitement that make you want to keep spinning. The graphics won’t knock you off your chair, but they’re modern and the reels run smoothly. The gameplay balance is smartly tuned, giving you enough smaller wins to stay in the game while you hunt for the big one. We also liked that the Bonus Choice feature lets you pick between two play styles: the Free Spins or the more volatile Gold Blitz feature.
The game’s RTP of 96.5% is great, but the max win of 1,999x the bet is a real disappointment. It’s quite a bit below the industry average, and less than in other Gold Blitz games. If you want to try out the Gold Blitz with other graphics, we can highly recommend the wrestling-themed WWE Bonus Rumble: Gold Blitz.
Gold Blitz Express from Fortune Factory Studios manages to stay reasonably fresh despite being part of a long-running series.
