Dig Dig Digger Slot Review

Dig Dig Digger – Ancient Relics Ahoy!

BGaming sends me off on an excavation trip to the pyramids in Dig Dig Digger, a cheeky take on the classic 'Book of' slot. The action plays out on a standard 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, high volatility and a below‑average 95.5% RTP. On paper it looks familiar, but the Russian comedy flavour and the loudmouthed archaeologist keep the whole thing from feeling like a pure clone.

Bet levels in Dig Dig Digger start at 0.10 and cap out at 20 per spin, so I treat it as a lower‑stake high‑risk option. The game carries a 5,500x max win, helped along by the Golden Shovel symbol that acts as both Wild and Scatter, a free spins game mode with Expanding symbols, the Chance x2 toggle, a Bonus Buy button and a classic double‑or‑nothing Gamble feature.

Dig Dig Digger - Theme & Settings

The theme in Dig Dig Digger sticks to famous Egyptian treasure hunting, but with that Comedy Club twist I instantly recognised. Behind the reels sit huge pyramids, a daft mini Sphinx and even a buried TV and slot machine, which gives the screen a playful cartoon feel. The archaeologist shouts at you in a heavy Russian accent, and the 'Dig, Dig, Dig!' banner pushes you on with every spin.

Visually Dig Dig Digger looks polished and bright without going overboard, and the animations stay smooth even when the screen fills with Expanding symbols. The soundtrack borrows heavily from the well known Sand Dance, so you get this odd mix of vaudeville and desert adventure that never really grows old. For me it nails a light, silly mood, which helps a lot when the high volatility bites.

Dig Dig Digger - The Basics

In terms of raw mechanics, Dig Dig Digger keeps things straight. You get 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines that pay from left to right, just as in other 'Book of' titles. Stakes start at 0.10 and climb to 20 per spin via the plus and minus buttons. I often set up Autoplay with a modest stake, check the paytable in the main menu, then let the session run.

Dig Dig Digger has no fixed jackpot, so your target is that big 5,500x win from the premium symbols and stacked free spins hits. With the game rated as highly volatile, I treat it as a grind; long patches of dead spins followed by the odd huge pop. I stretch my bankroll with lower bets, then might press a little harder if the bonus rounds start landing back‑to‑back.

Dig Dig Digger – Symbols & Payouts

Dig Dig Digger uses 11 paying symbols all told, nine regular icons plus the special Golden Shovel. The low‑value set is the classic card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A. You need at least three of a kind from the left, and five 10s, Jacks or Queens land 100x your stake. Kings and Aces pay up to 150x for five, so even the small symbols can line up into tidy hits.

The premium picture symbols in Dig Dig Digger carry the real punch. You will see an Egyptian jar, digging tools and a gleaming Scarab Beetle, with the top spot held by the grinning archaeologist himself. Land five Scarabs or tools for 750x the stake, climb to 2,000x for a line of jars, and hit the dream 5,000x payout when the explorer covers a payline from reel one to five.

For special symbols, Dig Dig Digger leans on that Golden Shovel. It serves as both Wild and Scatter, so it can stand in for any regular symbol to complete lines while also paying on its own. Five across a payline reach serious multiples of your bet, and hitting three, four or five anywhere in view triggers the free spins game with extra payouts worth 2x, 20x or 200x your stake.

Dig Dig Digger - Bonus Features

In Dig Dig Digger the main attraction is the free spins feature driven by the Book mechanic. Land three or more Golden Shovels anywhere and you get 10 free spins plus that extra Scatter payout. Before the round starts, regular symbols can be turned into special Expanding symbols. After the later update you can have up to nine of them, and they pay on any reel once they expand to fill a column.

On top of the core bonus, Dig Dig Digger throws in a few side features that I end up using a lot. Chance x2 lets you pay a little more each spin for a higher hit rate on the free spins. If I get impatient, the Bonus Buy option skips the wait entirely. Then there is the Gamble feature, a simple double or quadruple‑or‑nothing card game on any standard win.

Dig Dig Digger - RTP & Volatility

The maths behind Dig Dig Digger is not for the faint‑hearted. RTP sits at 95.50%, which is a touch below what I usually like, and the volatility leans firmly towards the high side. In plain terms that means long spells with small or no hits, broken up by those big Expanding symbol screens. I treat the Gamble feature with care here, because losing a rare chunky win really hurts.

Dig Dig Digger - Slot Verdict

After a fair few sessions, Dig Dig Digger sits in my mind as a fun but fairly straightforward 'Book of' slot with a quirky Russian‑Egyptian skin. It will not change the genre, and the low €20 max bet plus that 95.5% RTP might put off serious high rollers. Still, the 5,500x potential, free spins with Expanding symbols and cheeky commentary keep me coming back when I fancy something light.
