The Dwarves and dragons are at it again, but can you walk away with the gold and win on this Mining Fever slot? Let’s find out.
Rabcat Gaming creates beautiful graphics and amazing animations. So as you open up this Mining Fever mobile slot and see 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols, suspended over an intricate underground mine, with flying embers floating from within and a cart whooshing by from time to time… it’s impressive.
You get the feeling that you are down on the mines with 3 adventurous dwarves who are heading deeper and deeper to find the dragon horde within.
Even though the theme, as a whole, may not be any more inventive than the Dwarf Mine slot or the Rocket Fellas Inc slot game, there’s still enough of an atmosphere here that you’ll be drawn in.
You have three main characters: Driler, Bombur and Thundar. Each is a scatter symbol, and they all give you something a little bit different when two of the same show up.
Driler literally drills one reel full of wild symbols, Bombur gives you 2 spins with 1 to 4 wilds spread across the screen, and Thundar gives you two reels of identical stacked symbols.
All there to improve your odds of finding more wins over this Mining Fever 243 ways to win slot game. The problem is that they don’t come quite often enough, or with enough oomph, to make you feel like the wins are anything more than a token gesture to keep you on this wild ride with them.
If you get 3 scatters of each of the different Dwarfs, you’ll trigger 8 free spins. During the free spins, you’ll be taken to the dragon’s lair, where our dwarven brethren will ride their mining carts across the reels and defy the huge beast within.
Which means that they will appear on the left of the screen and meander their way across the 5 reels, one space at a time, ranging behind them two carts of gold. Each of the carts is a wild symbol, giving you 1 to 3 wild symbols on the screen at any one point.
What’s the point of the dragon at the bottom of the screen? Decoration maybe? He doesn’t add anything to the reels, which seems a little bit wasted, but no more than the little Gnomes in the Gnome Wood slot.
Rather than an epic battle, this of this Mining Fever video slot as a jolly jaunt down a well troden path with three fun dwarfs out to show you a good time. You probably won’t walk away with much of their treasure, but it’s fun enough that you may slip away with 50x to 100x your bet and they won’t notice.

Wild: The wild can replace any other symbol on the reel to complete a winning combination. It cannot replace the scatter symbol.
2 Scatters and Bonus Features: There are three scatter symbols on the reels. The Green Driler, the red Bombur and the Blue Thundar, each with their own special abilities. When you get two of the same type showing up on screen, you'll trigger one of three bonuses:
You don't get anything if you get two scatters of different colours.
3 Scatters and Free Spins: If you get one scatter of each of the three different colours (green, red and blue), you'll win 8 free spins. Here the three dwarves drive a gold train which drives across the screen, displaying anyone from 1 to 3 visible wilds on any spin and walking across the screen each time.
We're not sure if these crazy Dwarf will walk away with much gold, but you'll have fun enough with them down these underground passageways that you won't mind if you only walk away with a couple of coins.
Mining Fever slot on mobile looks beautiful and has enough features to keep you busy, even though it lacks the fast energy that will keep you playing on a low variance slot for hours on end.
Still, the free spins come often enough and the occasional base game bonus feature makes for lively gameplay, if not massive wins. If you are looking for something a little darker and meaner, you may need to look at the North Storm slot instead, but if you like fun adventures, Mining Fever should hit the rick gold vein.
