Introduction to Gold Blitz Infinite
Gold Blitz Infinite is a casino slot from Fortune Factory Studios, and it's the latest in a very long line of Gold Blitz titles. The developer has released so many of these that you could quite possibly fill a vault with them, which is entirely appropriate as the whole thing is about gold. You've got gold bars, gold bells, gold horseshoes and a plethora of cash symbols to make Fort Knox look like it's got a bit of a budget issue.
This time around, the studio has thrown pretty much their entire toolkit into the game. You get Collect Symbols, Respins, a Gold Spins counter, five Power Combo Pots, a Lightning Bonus with a guaranteed prize, a Diamond Collect feature, and Feature Buy. If you're a veteran of the Gold Blitz range, you'll be right at home.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Gold Blitz Infinite is a video slot from Fortune Factory Studios with 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 ways to win. The Min.bet is 0.2 and the Max.bet is 100. The RTP sits at 96.19%, and the volatility is high. The max win is 2,863x the bet, and the hit frequency is 25.19%, which means roughly one spin in four brings something back.
This game’s visuals are like a thunderstorm that's gone to Las Vegas. The reels are contained in a glowing golden frame with a swirling blue and purple sky behind them. Above each reel is a shield bearing a letter from B-L-I-T-Z. On the left-hand side, you've got the Gold Spins counter, the Lightning Bonus meter, and the jackpot ladder (from Mini to Grand). The Bonus Buy and Blitz Boost buttons are on the right. Wins are achieved by matching at least 3 symbols of the same type on adjacent reels, starting from the left. It's playable on mobile phones, tablets and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols in Gold Blitz Infinite are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. They pay between 0.7x and 1x the bet for a win with 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are the horseshoes, bells, gold coins, gold bars and $ signs. They give you between 1.2x and 2.5x the bet for a five-symbol win. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all the symbols mentioned above, but it can’t replace the Letter Symbols, Cash Symbols, Jackpot Symbols, Diamond Collect Symbols or Collect Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics

What features are available in the slot Gold Blitz Infinite?
The features are Wild Symbols, Collect Feature, Respin Feature, Gold Spins, Power Combo Feature, Lightning Bonus, Bonus Spins, Feature Buy, Blitz Boost and Upsizer.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols will help you to complete a winning combination by substituting for other symbols. They can't stand in for Letter, Cash, Collect, Jackpot or Wheel symbols, and they only appear in the base game.
Collect Feature
The Collect Feature triggers whenever you land a Collect Symbol while there is at least one Cash Symbol on the reels. Collect Symbols can appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, and Diamond Collect Symbols can only appear on reel 3. Each Collect Symbol will pick up every Cash Symbol and every Jackpot Symbol on the screen. Cash Symbols are worth between 0.5x and 20x your base bet, while Jackpot Symbols are worth between 10x and 1,000x the bet. The same Jackpot can in fact be won more than once in a single spin.
Respin Feature
Respins are awarded when Collect Symbols land on reels 1 and 5 with no Cash or Jackpot Symbols collected. The reels with the Collect Symbols lock, and the remainder respin with Cash, Jackpot and blank positions. Each of the locked Collect Symbols will move down one position on each new respin until they reach the bottom. Each respin will see at least one collection, and you can get up to 4 respins.
When Gold Spins are active, respins can also be triggered by Collect Symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. With Blitz Boost in play, Diamond Collect Symbols will stay locked on reel 3.
All wins are paid out once the feature is complete; way wins are paid out prior to the feature starting. The feature only operates in the base game.
Gold Spins
Gold Spins are governed by a Countdown Meter which is active from your very first spin. Each spin will reduce the meter by 1. When it reaches 0, Gold Spins will be in effect on your next spin and will last for 10 spins. During this period, Collect Symbols can also appear on reel 3 and will collect all Cash and Jackpot Symbols. Once the Gold Spins have finished, the Countdown Meter will reset to 30. The countdown will be paused during the Bonus Spins, the Lightning Bonus, and the Respins.
Power Combo Feature
Every reel has its own Power Combo Pot, and each pot will only collect tokens that belong to it. A token can only land on a symbol on its own reel, and each pot will only be able to collect a maximum of 1 token per spin. The tokens are what give you your Bonus Enhancers during the Bonus Spins.
Each pot gives you a different Bonus Enhancer. The Jackpot Wheel adds Jackpot Wheel Symbols to reels 2 and 4. If one of those lands in conjunction with a Collect Symbol, you get a spin on the Jackpot Wheel and at least one Jackpot is always awarded. A Jackpot +Nudge gives you another Jackpot, and the wheel keeps nudging until a Jackpot is awarded without a nudge. Each Collect Symbol then pays out the total value of all Jackpots won.
Cash Surge will randomly increase the value of the Cash Symbols when a Collect Symbol and Cash Symbols are on the board. Guaranteed Blitz puts a Collect Symbol on reel 1 on every Bonus Spin. Cash Multiplier gives a random multiplier between 2x and 5x the base bet prior to each Bonus Spin, and this is applied to all Cash Symbols collected on any spin which has both a Collect Symbol and a Cash Symbol.
Stacked Blitz allows for 2 to 5 Collect Symbols to be stacked on reels 1 and 5. With Gold Spins active, stacks can also appear on reel 3, and with Blitz Boost, they can be Diamond Collect stacks. Collect Retrigger +1 and Collect Retrigger +2 Symbols can be part of those stacks.
Lightning Bonus
There's a Letter Meter above each reel, and your job is to collect the letters B, L, I, T and Z. Each Letter Symbol you collect will light up its corresponding meter, and the meters will stay lit until you have the full word and the Lightning Bonus is triggered. The Lightning Bonus will see you awarded Bonus Spins with all 5 Power Combo Pots active. You're guaranteed a total bonus win of at least 150x your base bet, and it can go as high as 250x. Every time you land a Letter Symbol on a meter that is already lit, the guaranteed prize increases by 5x the bet.
With Gold Spins in play, you can get a Collect Symbol on reel 3 during the bonus, and with Blitz Boost you can also get a Diamond Collect Symbol. Letter Symbols do not appear in Bonus Spins or Respins. When the bonus comes to an end, the meters reset, and one random Letter Meter will be lit when you go back into the base game.
Bonus Spins
Bonus Spins are triggered when between 1 and 5 Power Combo Pots are randomly activated, and you then get 10 spins with the matching Bonus Enhancers. Every pot that has collected a token on the spin which triggered the Bonus Spins counts. The reels go from 4 rows to 5 rows, and only Cash Symbols, Jackpot Symbols, Collect Symbols, Retrigger Symbols, Collect Retrigger Symbols, and blanks will appear.
The Retrigger and Collect Retrigger Symbols can land on reel 5. If Gold Spins or Blitz Boost are active at the time the round starts, you also get a Collect Symbol or Diamond Collect Symbol on reel 3. Diamond Collect Symbols move down one position on each Bonus Spin. The Diamond Collect Symbols, which were generated on the triggering spin, don't carry into the round, but their positions are saved and then restored when you return to the base game.
Feature Buy
If you don't fancy waiting, the Feature Buy menu is a great option, allowing you to purchase Bonus Spins with the Bonus Enhancers of your choice. You can buy them individually at the prices shown, or you can buy a number of them together. The Max option will activate all of your Bonus Enhancers and gives you a minimum guaranteed total win of 250x your bet. Your Lightning Bonus Meter progress is carried over when you return to the base game.
Blitz Boost
Blitz Boost gives you the opportunity to land Diamond Collect Symbols on reel 3. These are Lock & Drop Symbols that remain on the reel for the duration of the consecutive spins and drop down one position on each spin you make. On each spin until they leave the reels, a Diamond Collect Symbol will collect all Cash and Jackpot Symbols that land.
The extra bet is 4x the base bet. The payouts are still calculated on the base bet, and all the way wins, symbol pays, Cash Prizes and Jackpot Values are unchanged.
Upsizer
Upsizer is available when Bonus Spins are triggered with 1, 2, 3 or 4 Power Combo Pots. It allows you to add further Bonus Enhancers to your round in any combination at the prices shown. It's not available via Bonus Buy, when all 5 Pots are triggered, or when the Lightning Bonus is triggered.
Final Thoughts on Gold Blitz Infinite
When you open Gold Blitz Infinite, it may feel like Fortune Factory Studios has emptied the entire toolbox on this game. We figure the company wants to create something that sticks out, considering the big number of Gold Blitz games released over the years. If you have played the original, Gold Blitz, or one of the prequels, such as Gold Blitz Ultimate, you will spot several good old friends. The Cash and Jackpot collection, the Collect Respins, and the expanded Bonus Spins are all familiar. You may also recognize the Power Combo Pots, which are new for this series, but common in other games from the developer.
There is also some new stuff, with the Gold Spins countdown as a nice touch. It gives you a reason to keep spinning and keeping an eye on the meter. The Lightning Bonus with a guaranteed prize is one of our favourites; it’s a true pleasure chasing the B-L-I-T-Z letters.
On the downside, the game doesn’t catch our attention as we’re hoping, although there’s a lot going on. Another minus is the max win of 2,863x the bet, which is disappointing for a high volatility slot. A low max win these days is 5,000x the bet.
Gold Blitz Infinite from Fortune Factory Studios is a busy and shiny casino slot that rewards players who like having lots to chase.
