Growing Reels Feature

During each spin or cascade, if a card symbol (a reversed symbol) lands, the reel area randomly expands upward or to the right, adding new rows or columns. The card symbol disappears after use. As the reels expand, Wild symbols can be randomly added to any position.

Winning symbols can be awarded on each 4×4 reel set on the game board. Each 4×4 reel set has 256 ways to win. As the reels expand, new 4×4 reel sets are formed. The maximum reel expansion is a 7×7 grid, which creates 16 4×4 reel sets.

Each set of 4×4 reels is assigned a unique frame color (up to 16). This color corresponds to the win history row, so you can instantly see which 4×4 reel produced which win.

Each 4×4 reel also has an identifier (ID) based on the order it was spawned. For example, the second 4×4 reel spawned each time has an ID of 2, and this ID is displayed in the win history.

The win history is clickable. Clicking on a row highlights the corresponding 4×4 reel frame in the main game area.

The cascade win displays the win for the current cascade only and resets with each new cascade. The total win for the spin displays the total win for that spin.

The sequence is as follows: a 4×4 reel win animation, a win history update showing the 4×4 reel ID, color, and win amount, and a cascade win update. This repeats for each winning 4×4 reel during the cascade.

Multipliers

In the base game, when multipliers land, they multiply the final total after all cascades are completed.

In free games, the multipliers landed only apply to the specific free game and its cascade sequence.

Free Games

In the main game, landing 4 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels awards 10 free games.

Scatter symbols are always active on the reels as they increase in size.

During free games, any multipliers that appear apply only to cascades in that spin. The reel size and layout are not reset between free games.

Cascade Feature

After each spin, winning symbols are paid and then destroyed. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom, and the empty spaces are filled by new symbols falling from above. Cascading continues until no more winning combinations are formed. All winnings from the base spin and subsequent cascades are added to the player’s balance at the end of the game.
