Betsoft publishes 96.13% RTP, High volatility, 32.95% hit rate, 5 reels and 20 paylines. The official page identifies the Mysterious Drifter and three-or-more Dynamite Free Spins trigger.
Mysterious Drifter
The Drifter is the game’s main wild/feature character. Character animations should be read as a display layer around the game rules: what matters is exactly which positions become wild and for how long.
Dynamite trigger
Three or more Dynamite symbols trigger Free Spins. A scatter-style trigger is independent on each eligible spin; a near-miss with two symbols does not make the third symbol more likely on the next paid spin.
20 paylines
Twenty lines keep the base game relatively conventional. Because the title is High volatility, the feature contribution and larger wins can matter more to long-run RTP than the apparent frequency of ordinary line hits.
32.95% hit rate
Roughly one-third hit frequency by Betsoft’s published definition does not mean one-third of spins are profitable. A win smaller than the stake still counts as a hit while producing a net loss for that spin.
Where it sits in Betsoft's catalogue
Gold Canyon is therefore best compared with games sharing its Mysterious Drifter wild action and dynamite-triggered free spins structure rather than simply with games using the same theme.
