Digging Frenzy Guide: Rules, Bonus Wheel, Bonus Frames and Cashpots

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Digging Frenzy is a Kalamba Games mining slot on 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways. Bonus symbols spin a wheel above the reels, and the wheel hands out either one of four Cashpots or a Free Spins Bonus where frames build up on the grid and turn into cash at the end.

We played the euro demo at a €2 bet, read the full rules and paytable, and bought all three BuyBonus levels. The numbers below come from those screens and from our own rounds.

How the game works

The grid is 5 reels by 3 rows with 243 ways. Wins pay for matching symbols on consecutive reels from the leftmost reel, in any position, and each symbol only pays its best combination. Wins for different symbols are added together. You need 3, 4 or 5 of a kind.

At a €2 bet, the paytable listed the dynamite as the top symbol at €9 for five, €2.50 for four and €0.60 for three. The pickaxe pays €6 for five, the shovel €4.50, the lantern €3 and the rope €1.50. The card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10 all pay €1 for five, €0.40 for four and €0.20 for three. That is a flat, low base-game paytable, so the features carry most of the value.

Wild symbols are blue diamonds. They substitute for all symbols except Bonus symbols and Extra Free Spins symbols.

Digging Frenzy base game with three Bonus symbols, the Cashpot values and the Bonus Wheel above the reels — Base game at €2: three Bonus symbols guarantee a wheel spin.

Bonus Wheel and Cashpots

Bonus symbols land on all five reels in the base game and count as scatters. Land 3 or more and the Bonus Wheel feature always triggers. One or two Bonus symbols can trigger it too, which the game calls a Digging Frenzy spin. Either way you get one wheel spin.

The wheel holds two kinds of prizes. The first is a Cashpot: Mini 10x bet, Minor 100x, Major 1000x or Grand 5000x. At our €2 bet the panel showed €20, €200, €2,000 and €10,000. The second is a Free Spins Bonus with 5, 10 or 15 initial spins. If a Digging Frenzy spin (1 or 2 Bonus symbols) lands on free spins, up to 3 extra positions turn into Bonus symbols before the bonus starts. That matters, because Bonus symbols decide where the first frames go.

Free Spins Bonus and Bonus Frames

Bonus Frames come in three levels. Before the first free spin, every Bonus symbol position gets a level 1 frame, and so does every position next to it (left, right, above and below). Where frames overlap, the frame moves up one level.

During the free spins, each Extra Free Spins symbol adds a level 1 frame where it lands or upgrades the frame already there. If that spot is already level 3, the game upgrades a random level 2 frame instead. If there is none, it upgrades a random level 1 frame, and failing that it adds a new frame to an empty spot. Frames stay for the whole bonus.

When the spins run out, every frame turns into a reward:

Level 1: 0.5x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x or 2x bet. Level 2: 2x to 8x bet, or the Mini (10x) or Minor (100x) Cashpot. Level 3: 8x to 250x bet, or the Mini, Minor, Major (1000x) or Grand (5000x) Cashpot.

The Extra Free Spins accumulator above the reels gives 3 more spins for every 3 Extra Free Spins symbols collected.

BuyBonus options and our demo buys

The cart button opens three BuyBonus levels. Each one starts the Free Spins Bonus right away with 3 to 5 Bonus symbols on the reels. Prices at a €2 bet:

Level 1, 5 free spins: €62 (31x bet), 93.95% RTP. Level 2, 10 free spins: €104 (52x bet), 93.97% RTP. Level 3, 15 free spins: €152 (76x bet), 94.47% RTP.

Level 3 is the only option with a clearly higher RTP than the 93.92% base game.

We bought all three. Level 1 grew from 5 to 8 spins after one +3 award. The frames revealed two Mini Cashpots and a Minor Cashpot, and the round paid €264.50, about 132x the bet, from a €62 buy. Level 2 grew from 10 to 16 spins but its frames stayed small and it paid €93.80, about 47x, below its €104 price. Level 3 kept collecting spins, running from 15 to 30 spins, and paid €172.20, about 86x, against a €152 price. These are single rounds each, not averages. The cheapest buy paid the most here, which only shows how much the frame reveals decide each round.

RTP, max prize and what the rules do not say

The base game RTP is 93.92%. The BuyBonus levels are 93.95%, 93.97% and 94.47%. All of these are below what many modern slots offer. The biggest single prize in the rules is the Grand Cashpot at 5000x bet, from the wheel or a level 3 frame. The rules do not give an overall max win cap, a volatility rating or a hit rate, so we have not quoted any. Our demo opened at a €2 bet.

Our verdict

Digging Frenzy keeps the reels simple and puts the action in its features. The Bonus Wheel can fire from just one Bonus symbol, which keeps base play from going flat, and the Bonus Frames make every Extra Free Spins symbol matter. The downside is the RTP, which sits under 94% outside the top buy. In our demo the outcomes swung widely: the cheapest buy returned the most. If you like feature-led mining slots, the demo is a fine way to get a feel for the frames before you think about real money.

The legal age is 19 in most provinces and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Only play at sites licensed where you live, set limits before you start, and treat gambling as entertainment, never as a way to make money.
