Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the Key and Chest symbols.

Keys

Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Key symbols can land on the reels and accumulate for future use. Up to two Key symbols of each type can land on the reels per spin, and up to nine Key symbols of each type are stored. If nine stored Key symbols of one type land on the reels, no more Key symbols of that type can appear on the reels. Key symbols are stored across all game sessions at the same bet settings, and the stored number is displayed above the reels.

Chests

Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Chest symbols can appear on the reels. During the main game, up to 8 Chest symbols can appear on the reels in a single spin. Chest symbols drop 1, 2, 3, or 4 gold coins (depending on the Chest symbol type) into a stack above the gameboard. Each gold coin can randomly trigger the Hold ‘n’ Win bonus. The coin accumulation graphic is purely visual and does not affect the probability of triggering the feature.

If the Hold ‘n’ Win bonus is triggered by a gold coin, Chest symbols are added to the reels until there are 6 to 8 Chest symbols on the gameboard. Chest symbols contain cash prizes that are paid at the end of the Hold ‘n’ Win bonus. Possible prizes:

• Bronze Chest – bet with a 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier
• Silver Chest – bet with a 6x, 8x, or 9x multiplier
• Gold Chest – bet with a 10x, 12x, or 15x multiplier
• Diamond Chest – Mini Jackpot, Minor Jackpot, Major Jackpot, Super Jackpot, Grand Jackpot

If cash prize values ​​are too high to display, they are shown as multipliers.

Free Spins

The bonus is guaranteed to be triggered when 6 or more Chest symbols land on the reels simultaneously. The Hold ‘n’ Win bonus starts with 3 free spins. Each time a Chest or Key symbol lands on the reels, the number of spins is restored to the maximum. During the bonus, only Chest, Key, and blank symbols appear on the reels. During the bonus, up to 3 Chest symbols can land on the reels in a single spin. During the Hold ‘n’ Win feature, all Chest symbols landed on the reels are frozen and remain until the end of the bonus. At the end of the bonus, frozen Chest symbols are opened by keys accumulated above the reels, and the corresponding prizes are awarded. Each key type opens a chest of the corresponding type. Keys used to open chests are consumed and removed from the total number. If all positions on the reels are occupied by frozen symbols and no new symbols can land, the feature ends.

Jackpots

The game features 5 jackpots. When a jackpot symbol appears from the Diamond Chest during the Hold and Win bonus, the corresponding prize is awarded. List of prizes:

• Mini Jackpot – bet with a 25x multiplier
• Minor Jackpot – bet with a 50x multiplier
• Majog Jackpot – bet with a 100x multiplier
• Super Jackpot – bet with a 250x multiplier
• Grand Jackpot – bet with a 2500x multiplier
