Some slots make you notice how far the format has travelled. Dig It is one of them. The gem facets catch light differently depending on where they sit on the grid. A weary cartoon miner leans beside the reels, pickaxe in hand, looking like he’s been digging long before you arrived.
Peter & Sons filled every corner of this 7×7 cluster pays grid with hand-drawn detail, and underneath the polish sits a Wild multiplier system that climbed past x31 during a single cascade chain in our demo session.
Wilds in Dig It don’t just substitute. They forage. When a winning cluster forms, the Wild collects every non-winning symbol of the same type still sitting on the grid. Each collected symbol adds +1 to the Wild’s multiplier, starting from x1. A cluster of 6 red gems wins and clears, but 4 more red gems scattered elsewhere on the grid get swept up by the Wild, pushing it from x1 to x5 before the next cascade even begins.
Wilds are sticky through cascades and physically move one step to an adjacent reel between each cascade, repositioning themselves to increase the chance of connecting with the next cluster. When multiple Wilds appear in the same winning cluster, each one builds its multiplier independently and their values add together for the total payout.
Three or more scatter symbols trigger free spins. The allocation scales with the scatter count: 3 scatters award 8 spins, 4 award 9, 5 award 10, 6 award 11, and 7 scatters unlock 12. retriggering is not part of the feature design.
The shift from standard play: Wilds carry over from the triggering spin with their multipliers intact. During free spins, Wilds become sticky across spins and their multipliers don’t reset between spins. A Wild at x12 on spin 3 still holds x12 at the start of spin 4, and cascades in that spin push it higher. This persistence is the route to the 20,000x max win cap.
Super Free Spins are available through the buy option only. The cost is 160x bet for 10 spins with 2 guaranteed Wild symbols already on the grid. Standard free spins can be purchased at 80x for 8 spins. Golden Bet adds 1.5x to the stake and lifts the trigger threshold of triggering free spins organically.
Dig It plays on a 7×7 grid with cluster pays. Five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a winning cluster. Winning symbols vanish, new ones cascade down, and if the new layout forms another cluster the chain continues. Bets range from €0.20 to €50 per spin. High volatility with a 20,000x cap. The variance shows itself quickly: decent chains arrive often enough to keep sessions moving, but the gaps between feature-level returns can stretch. When clusters do connect around a Wild, the multiplier collection accelerates fast enough that a single spin can shift the entire session.
Four gem symbols and four card-suit symbols. At a 100-unit bet, values for select cluster sizes:
| Symbol | 15+ | 12 | 9 | 7 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Gem | 7,500 | 1,250 | 150 | 100 | 50 |
| Purple Gem | 5,000 | 1,250 | 150 | 100 | 50 |
| Green Gem | 3,750 | 625 | 125 | 60 | 40 |
| Blue Gem | 3,750 | 625 | 125 | 50 | 40 |
| Heart | 2,500 | 250 | 60 | 30 | 20 |
| Diamond | 2,500 | 250 | 60 | 30 | 20 |
| Club | 2,500 | 250 | 60 | 30 | 20 |
| Spade | 2,500 | 250 | 60 | 30 | 20 |
The red gem is the premium symbol at 7,500 units for a cluster of 15 or more. All four card suits pay identically. The jump from 5-symbol clusters to 15+ is steep across every symbol, and the Wild multiplier amplifies these values further. A modest 60-unit win from a 9-symbol card suit cluster becomes 1,860 at x31 multiplier.
The cascading multiplier system is what earns Dig It its 4 out of 5, delivering rewards for every spin that feels worth watching. The cluster pays and cascading Wild system work with visible precision: you can see the multiplier counter ticking upward, track the Wild as it shifts position between cascades, and watch non-winning symbols get hoovered into the Wild's collection tally. The 96% RTP and high volatility pair with a 20,000x ceiling that the multiplier stacking can plausibly reach during free spins. This is one of the strongest entries in the Peter & Sons library.
The first thing that registers is the craft. The gems don’t just sit on the grid. They catch light. The red gem in the top row glows differently from the same red gem three rows lower. The miner character shifts between animations that feel handmade, not procedural. Small yellow blob creatures — the scatters — peek out from corners of the mine with lit fuses. Production value at this level is becoming expected from Peter & Sons, but Dig It pushes it further than most of their catalogue.
Non-bonus rounds ran with a rhythm that matched the volatility. Clusters formed, Wilds collected non-winning symbols, multipliers ticked up, and cascades continued until the grid settled. The chains that connected felt proportional. A few good runs produced returns that justified the dry stretches between them. Compared to older cluster pays formats, the difference in engagement is visible. The Wild movement, the collection animation, the multiplier counter climbing — each cascade has visual feedback that makes the mathematical model tangible.
The free spins buy at 80x transported the grid into a darker mine with sticks of dynamite framing the reels. The atmosphere shifted immediately. Wilds carried forward from the triggering spin with multipliers intact. The first few cascades produced modest returns. Then the round quietened. Ten spins finished with a 10x return on the 80x investment. That result sits firmly within the expected range for high volatility, but it illustrates the variance clearly. The same round with better Wild placement could have produced a hundred times more.
The Wild multiplier reaching x31 during a main-game session showed the system’s ceiling more convincingly than the feature buy did. That single chain — where the Wild collected stray gems across the grid while moving between cascades — produced a return that the paytable alone could never generate. The multiplier is the game.
The mining theme carries through to the pace of play, creating enough free play runway to experience the multiplier collection firsthand. For a slot that costs €0.20 per spin at minimum, the review session ran long enough to see both the peaks and the troughs, and both felt appropriate for the volatility rating. Dig It doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is: a high-variance cluster system with a multiplier setup that rewards patience and punishes impatience in equal proportion.
