A minecart full of multipliers, dynamite, and diamond: that’s the short pitch for Explosive Gold Blitz, a slot game by Nailed It! Games that continues the Gold Blitz line. If you’ve tried Gold Blitz Extreme or Thunderstruck Gold Blitz, this one won’t feel far off. The difference? Everything here is set underground. Between its two bonus modes, an active Collect mechanic, and a 6x4 reel layout with 4,096 ways to win, this live game keeps the pace brisk. You’ll also spot this one under online slots at Heart Bingo, though technically it’s a live hybrid rather than a classic slot machine.
Explosive Gold Blitz trades in storm clouds and gods for gold dust and steel rails. Set in a mine lit by lanterns, the background stays steady while the action runs across gold-framed reels. The dynamite box on the left is a tell, this isn’t just a mining motif, it’s also a reminder of features lurking in the corner. Overall, it’s a familiar Gold Blitz setup, now with a bit more grit on the boots.
The paytable in Explosive Gold Blitz includes a mix of card symbols and thematic tools. Nothing too fancy, but enough to tell you who’s pulling weight underground. Wins form from left to right, starting from the first reel.

Free Spins in Explosive Gold Blitz are triggered via Scatter symbols, with the number of spins tied to how many Scatters land. Once inside, every Wild symbol in a winning combo applies a multiplier, either 2x, 3x, or 5x. These only apply to the specific combination, not globally. During Free Spins, you won’t see Cash, Jackpot, or Collect symbols, so the focus shifts to multiplier-enhanced wins. Scatters can retrigger spins up to 30 in one go.
The Gold Blitz feature is a separate bonus round where only three symbols are active: Collect, Cash, and Jackpot. You’ll always see a Collect symbol on reel 1, and sometimes on reel 6. Each spin gives you another shot at pulling in any visible cash or jackpot icons. This feature doesn’t retrigger.
The Collect mechanic adds a bit of chaos. In both the base game and Gold Blitz mode, landing a Collect symbol gathers all visible Cash and Jackpot symbols. If no potential payout happens, that symbol doesn’t just vanish, it can fly to the dynamite box above the reels. This can cause a second Collect to explode into play at the end of the spin, salvaging what would otherwise be a blank.
This is a 6x4 setup using the ways-to-win system instead of paylines, meaning symbols need to land on adjacent reels starting from the first to trigger payouts. There’s no cascading or tumbling system here, the spins are self-contained. Bonus entries hinge on Scatters, while Collect symbols handle everything Cash- and Jackpot-related. Between the dual bonus options and hybrid mechanics, this leans more toward a live-hosted slot show than a traditional reel spinner, though the base mechanics stay slot-rooted.
If Explosive Gold Blitz piqued your interest, here are a few other slot games that carry a similar energy:
Explosive Gold Blitz doesn’t rewrite anything, but it doesn’t really need to. The mechanics are tight, the bonus modes do what they’re supposed to, and the Collect feature adds just enough unpredictability. Still, if you’ve played a Gold Blitz game before, this one feels like another skin rather than an innovation. The diamond symbol payout is a highlight, but overall this is more about pacing and familiar rhythm than fresh mechanics. A slightly different feature or twist would’ve gone a long way in setting it apart.
