What Is Misery Mining All About?

We have reviewed countless online slot games over the years, and some have certainly had some strange titles. But could Misery Mining be the oddest of them all?

We guessed that we were in for another mining theme here, and we were correct about that. However, the misery part of the title doesn't make it sound too appealing. We decided to check it out closely to find out whether this is something to play for a while.

Play from 20 cents to $100 per spin

This game offers a fixed bet per spin for good reason. It begins with the appearance of a 3 x 3 slot game… but why have they put the reels in the center of a much larger area?

The reason is that the game area measures 7 x 7, but the surrounding blocks, other than the starting grid of 3 x 3, are out of bounds when you begin to play Misery Mining.

Watch out for exploding wilds

This is where things begin to get more exciting. You can see vague images of other icons that are not in play whenever blocks drop into the activated parts of the game screen.

Whenever an exploding wild appears, it explodes and makes the game grid bigger. This may then result in one or more prizes, and if other wilds appear, they'll do the same thing.

Since all winning symbols disappear and allow new ones to turn up in their places, with others falling from above, there is a chance that you may string several wins together through this feature.

Look for the S for some free spins

You'll need three of those S-shaped icons in circles to trigger them. When you get there, you can choose between Mouse Mode and Rat Mode. Mouse brings eight free spins with high volatility action in play. Alternatively, you can choose Rat, where the volatility level goes higher still for three free spins. You do have a chance to reset the available spins to three if you go for this mode. This makes it a little more unpredictable, but you've got the chance to potentially net more prizes from that feature.

Misery Mining certainly doesn't feel like misery to play

We didn't think it would, but it is still reassuring to play it in demo mode to get a better idea of how it works. If you're eager to explore in greater detail, check out this slot from Nolimit City today.
