Slot Summary

A vanished cargo plane and Kane's search for it give Pacific Gold its expedition story. ELK Studios connects that hunt for missing treasure to a game that recovers winning symbols through a Ghost Box, making the aftermath of a cascade part of the next chance to score.

How It Plays

The Ghost Box stores symbols involved in wins, breaking larger symbols into individual units. When the winning sequence stops, it releases the collected symbols back into play from above.

Power Stacks grow when they sit through an avalanche without joining a win. Pacific Waves work horizontally, with empty spaces underneath their matching symbols filled by wilds.

Bonus & Free Spins

Landing at least 3 bonus symbols starts Pacific Wave Free Drops. Every free drop includes a Pacific Wave, and the feature can retrigger for additional play.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
