- Stack’n’Sync Feature: The feature starts when the S’n’S symbol lands on the reels. Once it activates, the reel occupied by the S’n’S symbol is copied and replicated to four other reels. Afterwards, the reels are stacked with one kind of symbol. A respin is then awarded the stacked reels as is meaning that the symbols landing on the reels after the respin are all the same.

If players go three spins without landing sticky eagle and golden eagle symbols, the collect phase ends and the payout phase starts. Players ought to note that all eagle symbols which aren’t connected to the eagle link disappear from the reels once the collect phase ends. The payout phase starts with three spins and an extra spin is awarded for each sticky golden eagle symbol that lands. All wins during the payout phase are subject to a global multiplier. The global multiplier equals the number of sticky golden eagle symbols currently in view.
