Pay Dirt, a gold rush slot with a dog, a donkey and a bandit

Pay Dirt is a gold rush slot, and on Mega888 it is one of the games people actually look up by name. The ten screenshots on the old page come from one session, so they show the base game in detail and the bonus not at all. We say which is which as we go.

The reels

Five reels of three rows sit in a wooden frame, with a mining town and a water tower behind them. There are no card letters. Every position holds a picture: a bandit with a red neckerchief over his face and a revolver, a bearded miner with a pickaxe on his shoulder, a mine cart heaped with gold, a donkey carrying saddlebags, a dog with a nugget between its teeth, a mine entrance among pine trees, a gold pan, a lantern, a pickaxe and a crate of dynamite.

The odd one out is a wooden signpost reading Paydirt, which turns up with a blue frame around it in two of the shots. On another screenshot the line under the logo reads "any scatter win triggers a feature", so the signpost is the scatter.

Bets and meters

Balance, Bet and Win run across the top in wooden boxes, with a Back button beside them. Under those are the three meters: Minor on the left, Random Jackpot in the middle and Major on the right. The bottom bar holds Lines, Bet, Autoplay and Spin.

The first screenshot plays all 25 lines at 0.04 for a total of 1.00. The other nine drop to one line at 0.01. The Random Jackpot climbs steadily across the set, from about 9,336 to about 9,655, while Minor and Major jump up and down. A meter that suddenly drops has most likely just been paid to someone, though the screens don't say who or how.

What the old page said about the features

The old text described two features. In free spins, it said, a stack of gold nuggets that normally lands only on reels 2 and 4 can land anywhere, and three or more extra Paydirt logos add 12 more spins. It also described a "gold hot" event with five free spins and a third reel filled with nuggets. Nothing on our ten screens shows a nugget stack, a free spins counter or a gold reel, so treat those details as the old page's word. The menu button in the top right corner opens the rules in the game.

Where it sits on Mega888

Pay Dirt shares its frame with Rally Championship: the same wooden boxes along the top, the same three meters and the same line tabs, which makes both feel like part of one family. The Mega888 page covers how IDs, credit and installs work, along with eleven more games such as Safari Heat.
