Yukon Gold

About Yukon Gold

Yukon Gold is a Canadian wilderness-themed slot from Crucible Gaming, the Sheffield-based UK studio behind Beaver Las Vegas, Pyramids of Luxor, Cherry 8, and Bar-X Infinity Reels. The game takes players into the heart of the Canadian Yukon territory, with majestic eagles, reindeer, wolves, snow foxes, and beavers roaming the dark forest backdrop behind the reels. It runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 paylines, set against an immersive woodland scene with detailed graphics that capture the rugged northern wilderness.

The game has an RTP of 94% in the version available at Midnite, medium volatility, and a maximum win of 2,314x your bet. The bonus structure runs across three feature paths: a standard Free Spins round triggered by Bonus symbols, the Yukon Gold Bonus triggered by 4 or more Moon symbols, and the Jackpot Pick Bonus that can be awarded from within the Yukon Gold Bonus when all three randomly selected reel positions reveal Moon symbols.

How to Play Yukon Gold

The grid is 5 reels by 3 rows, with 25 paylines that are always active. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.25 per spin, set using the bet controls below the reels. Wins form when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right on a payline, starting from reel one.

Lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A card ranks rendered in wilderness-themed styling. Higher-paying symbols are the Yukon's native animals: a majestic Eagle, a regal Reindeer, a stealthy Wolf, a Snow Fox, and a Beaver, paying out the larger line wins. The Bear acts as the wild and substitutes for all standard paying symbols on a payline except the Bonus symbol and the Moon symbol.

Three Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the Free Spins round. Four or more Moon symbols anywhere in view trigger the Yukon Gold Bonus, which opens up the route to the Jackpot Pick Bonus.

Yukon Gold Features

The bonus structure layers three feature paths, with the Yukon Gold Bonus serving as the gateway to the Jackpot Pick Bonus.

• Bear Wild Symbol: The Bear substitutes for all standard paying symbols on a payline. It does not substitute for the Bonus symbol or the Moon symbol.
• Bonus Symbol: The Bonus symbol triggers the Free Spins round when 3 land on the reels at once.
• Free Spins: Three Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels award 10 Free Spins.
• Moon Symbol (Yukon Gold Bonus Trigger): The Full Moon symbol can land anywhere on the reels. Four or more Moon symbols in view at once trigger the Yukon Gold Bonus.
• Yukon Gold Bonus: Triggered by 4 or more Moon symbols. Three reel positions are randomly picked from the playing field. If a Moon symbol appears in all three selected positions, the Jackpot Pick Bonus is awarded. Otherwise, a cash prize is paid for the Moon collection.
• Jackpot Pick Bonus: A pick-em mini game awarded when all three randomly selected reel positions reveal Moon symbols during the Yukon Gold Bonus. Players select from a set of hidden options to reveal a jackpot prize.
• Re-spins: Additional re-spin mechanics can activate during base play, giving the reels another chance to land winning combinations or bonus triggers.

Yukon Gold Theme and Symbols

The setting is the wild Canadian Yukon territory, with the reels framed against a dense forest backdrop, towering pines, and a glowing full moon casting silver light through the trees. The visual style leans atmospheric and rugged rather than cartoonish, with cool greens, deep blues, and warm wooden tones running through the colour palette. Native wildlife animates around the playing field, with the bear appearing prominently when the wild lands. The soundtrack mixes ambient forest sounds (rustling trees, distant wolf calls, owl hoots) with a steady atmospheric arrangement that builds during bonus triggers.

Lower-paying symbols are stylised 10, J, Q, K, and A card ranks rendered in wilderness-themed colours. Higher-paying symbols are the native animals of the Yukon: a majestic Eagle, a regal Reindeer, a stealthy Wolf, a Snow Fox, and a Beaver. The Bear Wild appears with a fierce expression and a wilderness border. The Bonus symbol triggers the Free Spins round when collected. The Full Moon symbol acts as the trigger for the Yukon Gold Bonus, with all special symbols completing the set.
