ICONIC21 launches Wild Gold Mine 2, a high-volatility sequel with a 10,000x max win and three bonus rounds, as the studio adopts a franchise model for long-term player engagement.
ICONIC21 has released Wild Gold Mine 2, a high-volatility sequel that expands on the original's Wild-West mining theme with deeper mechanics and a bigger payout ceiling of 10,000x the stake. The slot marks the provider's first deliberate move into series-based content, offering operators familiar player-attracting IP rather than standalone titles.
At the core of the game is the Dynamite symbol, which can instantly trigger a Bonus Wheel. The wheel awards either a cash prize, Bonus Spins, or Super Bonus Spins — two of the three bonus rounds available. The third is a Hold & Win feature, activated when six or more dynamite symbols land. It locks in gold nuggets carrying values across four tiers (MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, GRAND), with payouts accumulating until the respins run out.
Played across 243 ways, the slot ships in multiple RTP configurations, all retaining high volatility. The title is designed to lay the foundation for a recognisable franchise, signalling ICONIC21's ambition to move beyond its live-casino roots into original, format-driven slots aimed at longevity.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Players form bonds to worlds they recognise, and the original Wild Gold Mine gave us one worth returning to.” He added that treating the slot as a franchise rather than a single release changes how the company approaches themes, characters, and features, giving operators content that players actively seek out and a world the studio can keep building on.
