However, the pre-free game cascading symbols require between three and fifteen combinations.

Gold Canyon Game Characteristics
Gold Canyon’s partitioned and brown-framed 5X3 grid has navy blue reels. Set in a North American canyon, the grid is positioned next to a winding mine railway that serves a gold mine. There are 20 left-to-right fixed paylines, thirteen symbols, eleven total bets, elongated cowboy, retriggerable free games, a side game, and regularly pays from $0.03 to $10000.00.

Gold Canyon has two special symbols and eleven ordinary symbols. Special symbols: the substitute is a sitting “wild” cowboy in a golden suit; and the free games-offering feature is a bunch of seven “scatter” dynamite sticks.

Ordinary symbols: gold nugget; brown horse; lit kerosene lantern; sheriff’s badge; silver horseshoe; wanted poster; royal flush; and gray letters A, K, Q, and J.

The Gold Canyon coin denominations: $0.20 (minimum bet), $0.40, $0.60, $0.80, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00 (maximum bet).

The $20.00 bet offers these Gold Canyon payouts. Two, three, four, and five combinations: gold nugget pays $10.00, $50.00, $200.00, and $10000.00; and horse pays $5.00, $25.00, $100.00, and $2000.00.
Three, four, or five combinations: kerosene lantern pays $15.00, $80.00, and $500.00; sheriff’s badge pays $15.00, $60.00, and $400.00; horseshoe pays $10.00, $50.00, and $200.00; wanted poster pays $10.00, $40.00, and $150.00; royal flush pays $5.00, $20.00, and $80.00; A pays $5.00, $20.00, and $80.00; and K, or Q, or J pays $3.00, $15.00, and $50.00.

The free games result from at least three bunches of dynamite sticks that disappear explosively, thereby paving the way for free falling symbols—three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, 13, 14, and 15 free falling combinations pay $10.00, $20.00, $30.00, $50.00, $70.00, $100.00, $150.00, $200.00, $300.00, $400.00, $500.00, $750.00, and $1000.00, respectively. Thereafter, the free games begin—each blasted dynamite yields one free game—that are played in an underground mine.
In the payout-nullifying/doubling side game, players predict heads (bust) or tails (mountain peak). Gold Canyon’s non-progressive jackpot is X4774.80, which (4774.80X20) is $94956.00.

The good Gold Canyon software features: html5 technology, desktop and mobile versions, and a quick spin for its 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 100 autospins. Ambient background: country instrumental music. Sound effects: grito, neigh, cheer, ring, chink, and blast.
