Nugget Ridge: Bombs That Wait for the Last Spin

Nugget Ridge is a Relax Gaming video slot released on 3 September 2026, set in a gold-rich valley with dynamite as its main tool. Relax lists the payout mechanic as Lines, a minimum bet of €0.10 and a maximum bet of €100.

Three features carry the game. Expanding TNT Wilds and Sticky Wild Re-Spins work in the regular game, and 3 Bonus Bombs open a Free Spins round where explosives are stored up and only go off on the last spin.

Relax's description is short, four paragraphs in all, and its game page leaves several standard figures blank. This review sticks to what the studio has confirmed and flags the rest.

Relax Gaming does not publish an RTP, a volatility rating or a max win for Nugget Ridge on its game page. None of those figures is given here, and any number quoted elsewhere should be checked against the game's own rules.

What Relax does list is a set of game IDs: nuggetridge_94, nuggetridge_90, nuggetridge_nc_us and nuggetridge_nc_us_94, plus a separate UK ID, nuggetridge_92. The studio does not explain the suffixes, so this page does not treat them as return figures. The help screen of the version you open is the reliable place to read its RTP.

The confirmed money figures are the stakes: €0.10 at the bottom and €100 at the top, a thousand to one spread between the smallest and largest spin.

Expanding TNT Wilds are the first of the two regular-game features Relax names. The studio says they work together with the Sticky Wild Re-Spins to build rewarding combinations, which tells you the two are designed to feed each other.

Relax does not say how far a TNT Wild expands, whether it covers a full reel or part of one, or how often it appears. Because Nugget Ridge pays on lines, a wild that grows across more positions can sit on more paylines at once, so the expansion rule decides how much each TNT Wild is worth. The number of lines is not published on the game page.

Sticky Wild Re-Spins are the second named feature. As the name indicates, wilds stay in place while the reels spin again, so a wild gets more than one chance to complete a line.

Relax's page does not give the trigger, the number of re-spins or whether new wilds landing during them extend the feature. Those details shape the feature's value more than anything else, so they are worth reading in the paytable before spending time in the demo.

How the TNT Wilds and the sticky wilds interact is also left open. Relax only says the two features work together, not whether an expanded TNT Wild is the one that sticks.

The Free Spins round is the most distinctive part of Nugget Ridge. Relax says landing 3 Bonus Bombs unlocks the hidden stash, and that explosives build up through the round until the final Free Spin.

On that last spin the bombs burst across the reels and turn into Wilds. Each Wild's multiplier depends on how many bombs landed in that spot, so a position that collects several bombs during the round becomes a stronger Wild than one that collected a single bomb.

That structure means the round pays its feature off at the end rather than spin by spin. Relax does not publish how many Free Spins are awarded, the multiplier each bomb count gives, or whether the round can be re-triggered.

The last rule Relax describes is the one behind the biggest results. When multiplier Wilds connect, their values combine for larger payouts.

Relax does not say whether combined multipliers are added together or multiplied, and that is the most important missing detail on the page. As an illustration only, two Wilds of 3x and 4x would give 7x if added and 12x if multiplied; the paytable will say which rule applies.

Relax's closing line, that the more you uncover the greater the rewards, fits this design: the payoff grows with how many bombs gather in the same places before the final spin.

Relax publishes a fun-mode demo of Nugget Ridge that runs on play credits, and it is the quickest way to fill the gaps in the game page.

Check the number of paylines, how far a TNT Wild expands and what starts the Sticky Wild Re-Spins. In Free Spins, note how many spins you get, how the stored bombs are shown on the reels, and what multiplier each bomb count produces. Then read whether connected Wilds add or multiply, and the RTP of the version you have loaded.

A short demo session cannot tell you the volatility, which Relax has not rated, but it will show how often Bonus Bombs turn up in normal play.

Two more Relax Gaming titles with their own pages on Slotscritic are Cloudforge and Money Train 5.

What is the RTP of Nugget Ridge?

Relax Gaming has not printed an RTP on the Nugget Ridge game page. It lists game IDs ending in 94 and 90, two IDs marked nc_us and a UK ID ending in 92, but does not explain those suffixes, so no figure is given here. The help screen of the version you open is the reliable place to read its RTP.

What is the max win on Nugget Ridge?

Relax Gaming does not publish a max win for Nugget Ridge on its game page, and it gives no volatility rating either. The studio says the biggest payouts come in Free Spins, when stored bombs turn into multiplier Wilds on the final spin and connected multiplier Wilds combine their values. Check the game's rules for the maximum.

How do the Bonus Bombs work in Nugget Ridge?

Relax Gaming says landing 3 Bonus Bombs unlocks the hidden stash, a Free Spins round where explosives build up until the final spin. On that spin the bombs burst and turn into Wilds, each with a multiplier based on how many bombs landed in that spot. Relax does not publish the spin count or the multiplier values.

Is there a Nugget Ridge demo?

Yes. Relax Gaming publishes a fun-mode demo of Nugget Ridge that runs on play credits. Use it to check what the game page leaves out: the number of paylines, how far TNT Wilds expand, what triggers Sticky Wild Re-Spins, how many Free Spins are awarded and whether connected multiplier Wilds add or multiply.

What are the minimum and maximum bets on Nugget Ridge?

Relax Gaming lists a minimum bet of €0.10 and a maximum bet of €100 per spin for Nugget Ridge. The studio classes the payout mechanic as Lines, but its game page does not say how many lines there are. No bonus buy is mentioned on the page, so this review does not claim one exists.
