BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
Here are the feature symbols of the game.
- Wild – the wild is the erupting volcano; it substitutes for missing symbols to make a winning line, but it cannot substitute for the scatter.
The wild can turn into a multiplier if used to make a winning combo. The wild can give either a 2x or 3x multiplier value, which would be used for the line that won a prize because of the wild.
The wild can also randomly stack on the reel where it landed, giving you more opportunities to win.
- Scatter – the scatter is a block that has the text “free games”. Landing six of this would trigger the free spins bonus. It also pays 36 coins if you landed six of it anywhere on the grid.
- Lucky Break – this is another scatter symbol, and it looks like a golden gong. If you land this, you will have a chance to win any of the five jackpots on the game. These jackpots are mini, minor, major, maxi, and grand. The Lucky Break scatter symbol also awards 1 to 3 free spins bonuses.
The jackpot prizes are fixed. They are not progressive type jackpots. The payouts are:
- Mini – 30
- Minor – 120
- Maxi – 600
- Major – 1,500
- Grand – 15,000
Winning any of these five prizes is random. Once you land the Lucky Break symbol, it is going to reveal which of these five prizes you won.
SUMMARY
While there are jackpots in the game, you need six of the scatter symbols to win a cash prize. The cash prizes in the base game are also small compared to other slots.
The wild does not pay money, but it does double or triple your win. The golden gong is basically the only symbol you have to look forward to in this game, as it is the key to winning any of the five jackpots.
