Free Spins Multipliers are displayed in the Free Spins Multiplier Meters above reel 5 and reel 1 respectively after activation. The multiplier can increase in the base game. MULTIPLIERS APPLY TO Express Collect™ FEATURES IN FREE SPINS.

• The multiplier on reel 1 applies to Express Collect™ features where the trigger symbol appears on reel 1.

Multiplier Booster Symbol

The Multiplier Boost symbol can randomly appear on any of the other symbols except Scatter symbols, Prize symbols, Bonus Wheel Boosters, Ball symbols and Trigger symbols in the base game. Each Multiplier Boost symbol that appears increases the Free Spins Multiplier on reel 5 by 0.5x until the Free Spins Multiplier Meter on reel 1 is activated. Once the Free Spins Multiplier Meter on reel 1 is activated, each Multiplier Boost symbol that appears will randomly increase one of the multipliers on reel 1 and reel 5 by 0.5x. The maximum multiplier that can be accumulated is 10x. At the end of Free Spins, choose to reset the Free Spins Multipliers.

Free Spin Minimum Win

• The minimum win is activated from the 4th level of luck.
• The minimum win will be multiplied by 5x when any of the Free Spins multipliers increase.
• The minimum win starts at 20x and can increase in the base game to a maximum of 200x.

If the total win at the end of the Free Spins feature is less than the Free Spins minimum win, the total win will be increased to match the Free Spins minimum win value as shown on the screen. At the end of the Free Spins, the minimum win value resets to 20x – 80x.
