How To Play Miner Donkey Trouble Mobile Slot
A 5×7 cascading video slot game with more features and surprises than we can name, but boy are we going to try in this Miner Donkey Trouble slot review.
You are trapped in a cave with no one to help. Thank-god then for you lucky pickaxe, some dynamite sticks, and your loyal (if feisty) donkey, because with the help of all of them you might just walk away with more than one golden nugget or two.
We are used to playing on Play’n GO grid slots, so figured this would be similar to the Viking Runecraft slot or what you might find in our Gemix review, maybe.
And to a certain degree, that’s true. Clusters of 5 or more symbols will explode on every win and you’ll be aching to get more wins, as a single cluster won’t do much – but many wins in a row will get the donkey mad and help you find those nuggets of gold.
Catch the gold and get multipliers on any drop
There are many special symbols you can find on these reels, but because there’s a lot happening in this mobile slot game, let’s give you a quick recap:
- The dynamite scatter: one will explode on the reels and give you wilds, 3 will trigger 5 free spins
- The Pick Axe: will randomly add 4 to 6 wild symbols anywhere
- Mega symbols: random 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 symbols
- Golden Nugget: When they reach the bottom of the screen, they increase the multiplier on the next win.
- The donkey carrot: every win fills the donkey carrot. Fill the meter enough and the donkey will trigger any of three special features.
That’s a whole load of slot features for one little casino game, and yet somehow this Miner Donkey Trouble doesn’t seem over-complicated or annoying as the features trigger often and in amusing ways to fit the slot machine theme.
The Miner Donkey Trouble slot has a max win of 10,000x
Which at the minimum bet of 0.10 a spin, will give you a tidy sum of £€$1,000. At the maximum bet of 100 a spin, that would be a million.
You can’t help but be drawn in by the playful theme and the many features. Or the fact that we saw wins of over 126x your bet in the free spins alone thanks to all those avalanches and golden nuggets.
This Miner Donkey Trouble slot machine is definitely one that is hard to explain, but when you start playing you’ll see why we were so drawn in, and why you might decide to stick a little bit longer in this wild west themed slot.

Miner Donkey Trouble Bonus Features
Diamond Wilds: These never land on the reel but are created by the Pickaze wilds and the Dynamite scatter feature. This wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols in a cluster to create a win.
Avalanching Wins and Cluster Pays: Any 5 symbols touching horizontally or vertically will create a win. At this point, those symbols will explode and more will come tumbling down from above, giving you another chance to catch a win.
Golden Nugget Multiplier: This special symbol may appear on any spin, and you want to get it to the bottom of the reels. If you do get it at the bottom, it will be collect and will increase the multiplier by +1 before the next cascade. The more you collect, the bigger the multipliers.
Donkey Destruction: For every winning combination on any spin, the number of symbols you win will power up and feed the donkey a carrot. There are three levels to charge and each charge will give you different special features:
- Donkey Destruction 1: Removes the least valuable symbols from the grid
- Donkey Destruction 2: Removes all but special symbols from the grid
- Donkey Destruction 3: Removes all but special symbols form the grid and guarantees golden nuggets in the cascade.
Pickaxe Wilds: When the Miner's Pickaxe lands on the reels, it will activate the Wild. After all cascades, charge meter effect and dynamite scatter, this feature will trigger. This Pickaxe will randomly generate anything from 4 to 10 wilds anywhere on the reels.
Random Mega Symbol: Randomly on any spin, you may get any number of 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 mega symbols added to the grid.
Dynamite Explosion: When a Dynamite scatter symbol lands on the grid and all winning symbols have been taken care of, the dynamite symbol explodes. Diamonds wilds will then be placed around the area next to where the Dynamite went off.
Free Spins and Scatters: Three dynamite scatters will trigger 5 free spins. During the free spins any golden nugget multipliers received will not reset when an avalanche is over. Any active golden nugget multipliers will be carried over from the base game to the free spins.
Landing three more Dynamite Scatters will trigger another five free spins, up to 20.
