Core Gaming launched its new Pan For Gold instant-win scratchcard game earlier this week and now the Wild West-themed title has already awarded its first major jackpot.A player from Durham in the UK known as ‘Dave’ has collected a cash prize of £25,000 ($37,832) after enjoying only ten rounds of the £2 ($3) game on Sky Vegas using his mobile phone.Each £2 Pan For Gold card offers players the chance to dunk a virtual sifting pan three times into one of six locations on a map in hopes of unearthing a prize. Mobile gamers are prompted to shake or swipe their device while desktop participants click and drag their mouse to possibly reveal golden nuggets, precious gems or unwanted silts.Core Gaming declared that players gathering three of the same gems during their dunks will walk away with a ‘corresponding win’ that encompasses £2 for turquoise gems all the way up to £25,000 for pearls.In addition, the game transports any gold nuggets that may be collected into a separate pot for use later. Players that purchase additional cards before managing to amass eight nuggets can enter the Bank Bonus feature where a potential cash prize worth up to £25,000 awaits.“We are delighted that ‘Dave’ has taken this golden prize, especially just a few weeks before Christmas,” said Kev Short, Head of Production for Solihull-based Core Gaming.“It shows that dreams really can come true and we wish him all the best. We are very proud of this game and, apart from offering great prizes, we think players will find Pan For Gold a really fun experience.”
