Dig Dig Digger Slot Overview
Dig Dig Digger is a BGaming slot built around the classic 'book of' mechanic, set against an Egyptian treasure-hunting backdrop. You get a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, and the whole thing is themed around a comedic archaeologist character inspired by a Russian comedy show. Proper silly vibe, honestly.
I loaded this up expecting another generic Egypt slot, and visually it does look the part with pyramids, scarabs, and ankhs on the reels. But the daft humour sets it apart a bit. The archaeologist barks at you in a thick Russian accent when you land wins, which caught me off guard the first time. Max win sits at 5,500x your stake, which is decent for a book-style game.
Symbols and Payouts
Nine base paying symbols fill the reels here. Low payers are your standard 10, J, Q, K, and A royals. Five of the 10, J, or Q symbols pay 100x your stake, while K and A bump up to 150x. Nothing exciting, but they keep the base game ticking over.
Premium symbols are where the money lives. Scarabs and ankhs pay 750x for five of a kind. The Egyptian jar is worth 2,000x, and the archaeologist himself is the top payer at 5,000x. The Golden Shovel acts as both Wild and Scatter, substituting for everything and triggering the bonus. Five Golden Shovels on a line pay 500x too.
Premium symbols need just two matching from the left to pay out. Lower royals need three or more. Fairly standard stuff for a book slot, nothing unusual.
Symbol Payouts
Bonus Features
Land 3 or more Golden Shovel scatters anywhere on the reels and you trigger 10 Free Spins. You also pocket a scatter payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x your bet depending on how many shovels dropped. Before the round starts, a random symbol gets chosen as the Expanding Symbol, which fills entire reels when it appears and pays in any position. After an update, you can now have up to 9 expanding symbols instead of just one.
There is also a Bonus Buy option if you cannot be bothered waiting for scatters, though the exact cost was not specified anywhere I looked. A Chance x2 feature lets you pull a golden lever to boost your odds of triggering the bonus at the cost of a bigger bet. And a Gamble Feature lets you guess card colour or suit after any win to double or quadruple your payout. Get it wrong and you lose the lot. I had a few goes on the gamble and, honestly, it is fun but risky.
Bonus Buy Options
Land 3 or more Golden Shovel scatter symbols to trigger 10 free spins. A random symbol is chosen as the expanding symbol that covers entire reels and pays anywhere on the grid.
During free spins, up to 9 symbols can be randomly converted into expanding symbols that fill entire reels when they land.
After any win, guess the colour or suit of a playing card to double or quadruple your winnings. Guess wrong and you lose everything.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win
RTP comes in at 94.94% according to the provider, which is below average. Some review sites list it at 95.50%, so there may be different configurations floating about. Either way, not the most generous return. Volatility is very high, so expect long dry spells between decent hits. Hit frequency is listed at 3.42, meaning roughly one in every 29 spins lands something.
Max win is 7,500x your stake per the official specs, which works out to around 225,000 euros at max bet. Bets range from 0.10 to 20.00 per spin, so high rollers might find the ceiling a bit low. For casual sessions where you want to stretch your balance, the low minimum bet is handy though.
