BONUSES
- Wild: A multi-coloured glowing icon which comes with a WILD inscription acts as the substituting symbol.
- Scatter: This game features two scatters which are the diamond megascatter and the regular gold scatter. The former is represented by an open suitcase with a diamond icon while the latter is represented by an open suitcase with some gold bars.
- Extra Reel: The game has an extra reel which appears on top of the standard reel grid.
- Reactions: All symbols in this slot apart from the scatter can be involved in reactions. Symbols are only involved in reactions when they are part of a winning combination. The winning symbols after disappearing from the reels are replaced by a new set of symbols which necessitate the evaluations of new win lines.
- Base Game Bonuses: At random during the base game and reactions, it’s possible for anyone of four base game bonuses to activate. The four base game bonuses include:
- Maximum Megaways: When this bonus initiates, players spin the reels with each reel possessing 7 symbols thus playing across all 117,649 ways to win.
- Wild Bomb: The wild bomb randomly appears on the extra reel necessitating replacement of previous regular reel symbols by new symbols after a win line
- Vertical Wild: At random, any one of the game’s reels transform into a wild reel
- Horizontal Wild: The extra reel transforms into a horizontal wild.
- Free Spins Feature: There are two free spin features that players may activate. The standard free spins feature activates when players trigger the feature via regular gold scatters only. The enhanced free spins feature activates when at least one megascatter is part of the triggering icons. Regardless of the free spins feature triggered, players receive an initial 10 free spins for three scatters plus an additional 2 for each scatter beyond the third. Upon activating the feature, players are tasked with picking and opening one of three doors presented on the screen. The picked door will reveal any one of the following free spin bonuses. Before we reveal the bonuses, we just want to state that at the start of the feature, a win multiplier starting at 1x is awarded and it increases with each new reaction. Now, here are the bonuses:
- No Lower Symbols: Players play the feature without royal symbols 9, 10 and Jack
- Increased Ways: Up to 5 symbols are guaranteed to land on each reel per spin
- 2 Scatter Retrigger: Players retrigger the feature with just two scatters
- Duplicating Wilds: Upon landing a wild, all symbols below it transforms into wilds
- Double Multiplier: the free spin win multiplier increments 2x rather than 1x
- Bonus Buy: The standard free spins and the enhanced free spins features can be directly purchased when players pay 75x the bet or 200x the bet price respectively.
- Win Exchange: Any win equaling or above 100x the bet gives players the option of either scooping the win as is or exchanging the win for 10 free spins. Any win ranging from 25x the bet to 100x the bet gives players the opportunity of gambling the win for the chance to win 10 free spins. A wheel is spun and dependent upon the final resting position of the pointer, players can scoop 10 free spins or collect the previous win.
WAYS TO WIN
