Look & Feel

Black Gold Free Fever, that’s the full name of this slot, is a classic Las Vegas slot. Both in terms of design and the overall gaming experience. All 4 slots have a 3×5 layout, but you can say that Black Gold and Quick Hit Pro are more of the classic slots, while Platinum and Las Vegas are a bit more edgy.

The symbols you will see on Quick Hits Black Gold slot are familiar to any casino player: 7s, Bars, Cherries, Bells, etc..

The special symbols are Free Games; Quick Hit logo which is the scatter multiplier. Quick Hit Fever which activates the Fever Free Games and Locking Wilds which we will explain below.

Scatter Multiplier

Scatter Multiplier is the defining feature of all Quick Hits. It’s quite simple. To get paid you will need 3 more Quick Hit logos on reels 2,3 or 4. For 3 of them you will get x1 your bet per spin, 4 of them pay x5 and so on. If you are lucky to get 8 or 9 of them you will go home with x1000 or x2500 your total stake!

Free Games

As we mentioned before, Black Gold has 4 Free Spins features. To trigger any of them, you will need to get 3 Free Games Fever symbols on reels 2,3,4. That will get you 10 free spins. Then, you will need to select from a grid of 18 tiles until you match three similar symbols – that will define which of the 4 Free Games features you won.
2x Pays Free Games: As the name implies – here all your winnings will be double.

3x Pays: Similar to previous ones, but with x3 multiplier

Locking Wilds: In my opinion this is the best feature of Quick Hits Black Gold slot and can be truly rewarding. Each Locking Wild that appears on the reels is locked into position till the end of the feature.

Quick Hit Fever Free Games: Additional Quick Hit scatter symbols are added on the reels, which allows you to get up to 11 of them on the reels (vs. 9 during the regular play). For 9 you will get x2500 your total bet, 10 worth x5000 and 11 will get you x7500 your total bet!

Bottom Line

Quick Hit slots are truly exceptional and Black Gold might be the best of them all (well maybe after Quick Hit Platinum). When they talk about real Vegas experience, that’s exactly the type of slot they talk about.

You should notice that Black Gold is a high variance game, which means you can have a relatively long losing streaks and should be a bit careful when playing this slot for real money. However when it pays, it pays well.

P.S If you are visiting any brick and mortar casino, then look for Quick Hit Black Gold Wild slot machine – this is the progressive version of the game we reviewed here.

Pros

• 4 Free Spins Variations
• Locking WIlds
• Up to x7500 Multiplier

Cons

• Not available to US players
• Not available on Mobile
• A bit outdated design

The ‘Quick Hit’ series of slot by Bally has been such a big success that it has spawned many variations. Quick Hit Black Gold is one of the better examples – and a slot which has made its way from casino floors to the world of online gambling. Other titles in this range include Quick Hit Las Vegas and Quick Hit Pro. Like many Bally slots, your first impression can be of a plain, almost retro game. Once you start playing you will realize that there is a little more to it than just the playing card symbols, bars and bells which adorn the reels.

A key thing that all of the Quick Hit range has in common is that there are big scatter wins that can come in at any time. These are via the special Quick Hit symbols – which pay up to 2500x you bet if you are lucky enough to get 9+ on the reels.

This is not the most attractive slot; I’d go as far as to call it ugly. The symbols are in shaded purple boxes which make up the grid. At the top of the reels is the familiar logo, along with the 4 different variations of the bonus game. Symbols are plain, there is some work with light and shading, though nothing spectacular. Animations when you get wins are basic, and the music is straight from the standard Bally sounds library.

Free Quick Hit Fever Slots

Win lines are fixed on Bally slots and this one has a very standard 30. You can spin from 1c per line, up to an incredible $450 total ($15 per line). Auto spin is a good option for this type of game, letting the computer do the work of clicking for you.

There is a reasonably big standard win of 70x your total bet amount. This is for the Black Gold Wild symbols (for 5 of a kind), the red 7’s come next at 25x and the dollar signs and 3-bars follow those. There are plenty of wilds in play, which means you will often get multiple wins at the same time.

Bigger wins come via the Quick Hit logos. These are scatter symbols, which means that they pay out regardless of where they appear on the reels. The top prize of 2500x your stake is for 9; 8 will pay 1000x, 7 gives you 100x and soon down to 1x for 3.

The final symbol on the reels is the ‘free Fever Games’ logo. If you get 3 of these, you start the bonus feature.

Bonus Games on Quick Hit Black Gold

Though you will always get a free spins bonus with 3+ of the Free Fever Games logos, there is a pick-em type game to select which of 4 variations you play. This is a grid of blue tiles. You click them, revealing either 2x wins, 3x wins, Frozen Wilds or Quick Hit Fever. Once you get to 3 of a single type, then that is the bonus you’ll start.

Apart from the counters on top of the reels there is nothing different about play in the free spins round. The game simply cycles through your plays quickly, and counts your winnings. If you get the frozen wilds, then any wilds that appear on the screen will stay in place for the rest of the bonus. Quick Hit Fever features extra scatter symbols, while the multipliers simply give you bigger wins. If you are lucky you will see the ‘Big Win’ animation (a fountain of coins) when you return to the main game.

Summary of Quick Hit Black Gold

Penny Slots Quick Hits

In common with the other games in this series, the focus is very much on the game-play – rather than flashy graphics or gimmicks. The chance to win 2500x your stake at any moment does make a difference, which is the real appeal of this series. I like the variations on the free spins round, which will help to keep people interested for longer. This is not the best of the range, though a solid and very enjoyable slot none the less.
