Dig Dig Digger is a 2021 BGaming slot about a gold miner and his shovel. It uses the familiar book style setup on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines: a symbol that is both wild and scatter, and free spins with one expanding symbol. BGaming lists the top prize at 7,500x your stake. It suits you if you like book slots, want the option of a bonus buy, and are comfortable with very high volatility.
How does Dig Dig Digger work?
You play five reels and three rows with 10 paylines. Premium symbols pay for two in a row from the left, while lower symbols need three or more.
The gold shovel marked dig acts as both wild and scatter. It substitutes for other symbols and pays on its own when several land. After a base game win you can try a card colour gamble to double it, or collect.
What are the Dig Dig Digger bonus features?
Three or more shovels anywhere award 10 free spins, and retriggers are unlimited. Before the round, one regular symbol is picked as the expanding symbol. When enough of it lands, it fills whole reels and pays across the grid without needing to sit next to each other.
Chance x2 raises your bet to increase the odds of hitting free spins, and Buy Bonus lets you pay a set price to start the round right away. The two options cannot be used at the same time, and both may be unavailable in some countries.
Is Dig Dig Digger worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
BGaming's game page lists the RTP at 94.94%, which is below the industry average. Older listings quote 95.5% and a 5,500x cap, so the figures appear to have been updated. BGaming lets casinos choose between several RTP settings for many of its games, so the version you open may pay back less than the top figure. The game rules screen shows the exact value at your casino.
BGaming rates volatility as very high. Like most book slots, the outcome depends on which symbol is picked to expand, and a round with a low symbol can pay very little. Long losing streaks are normal.
If you already play book slots from other providers, the main differences here are the Chance x2 option and the unlimited retriggers in free spins. The light cartoon style makes it feel less serious than Egyptian book games, but the maths behind it is just as swingy.
Tips before you play Dig Dig Digger
- Check the RTP in the rules, since it is already below average at the top setting.
- Think carefully before using Buy Bonus, as it costs a large amount per round.
- Leave the gamble feature alone if you want to protect your wins.
- Use the demo to see how often free spins arrive naturally.
- Keep stakes small for very high volatility.
