Breaking Wilds

On any spin, symbols can be broken off the reels after all symbols have landed. Broken symbols will be replaced by Wilds. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters. Scatters cannot be broken off the reels and replaced.

Multiplier Wilds

Any revealed Wild symbol may contain a multiplier. Possible multiplier values ​​are x1, x2, x3, x4 or x5. Wild multipliers are applied to each winning combination they are part of. If more than one multiplier Wild symbol is involved in a single combination, their values ​​will be added together before being applied.

Walking Wilds

Any revealed Wild symbol may be a Walking Wild. Walking Wilds are blue and will splatter UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT in a straight line, between the 1st and 3rd positions, to reveal additional Wilds or improve the multipliers on the multiplier Wilds. The multiplier value of any new Wild position will be equal to the value of the Walking Wild that created it. Any Wilds already present and affected will see their multiplier increased by the value of the active Walking Wild. Multipliers can be improved up to a maximum of x5. If the Walking Wild symbol crosses a Scatter symbol, the Scatter symbol turns into a Scatter Wild symbol. Scatter Wild symbols substitute for all symbols and function as both Scatter and Wild.
