Cash Prizes

The reels feature Gold Coin symbols offering cash prizes of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, and 10x the bet. During the main game, cash prizes are awarded only when they form a cluster of 5 or more symbols. If the cash prize values ​​are too high to display, they are displayed as bet multipliers.

Collector

Collection symbols can form clusters with Gold Coin symbols. During the main game, they are activated only when part of a cluster. When activated, the Collection symbol awards a cash prize equal to the sum of the cash prizes in the cluster and acts as a Gold Coin symbol.

Coins

When the Gold Coin or Collection symbols land on the reels, they add a coin to a stack next to the gameboard. Each such gold coin can randomly trigger the Hold and Win feature. The coin accumulation graphic is for entertainment purposes only and does not affect the likelihood of triggering the feature.

Hold ‘n’ Win

When the Hold ‘n’ Win bonus is triggered, all Gold Coin and Collect symbols participate and are collected upon completion. The Hold ‘n’ Win bonus begins with 3 free spins. During the bonus, only Gold Coin, Collect, and blank symbols appear on the reels. Each time any symbol other than a blank symbol lands, the number of free spins is restored to 3. During the Hold ‘n’ Win feature, all cash prize symbols that land on the reels are locked in place and remain on the reels until the end of the feature. When a Collect symbol lands on the reels, it awards a cash prize equal to the sum of the cash prizes of all locked symbols. During the Hold ‘n’ Win feature, up to 8 Gold Coin symbols and 1 Collect symbol can land on the reels on each spin. If all positions on the reels are filled and no more symbols can appear, the feature ends.

Jackpots

The game features 4 jackpots. If the required number of symbols land on the reels during the Hold and Win bonus, the corresponding jackpot prize is awarded.

Clusters
