Video

The main game is played with match wins and scatter wins. 3 or more identical symbols appearing in a vertical or horizontal line with no gaps anywhere on the reels award a win. Simultaneous wins from different symbol combinations are added together. Only the highest win per combination is paid.

The game features during the main game also activate scatter symbol combinations, where 1 or more symbols appearing anywhere on the reels award a scatter win.

Winning combinations and payouts are made according to the paytable multiplied by any applicable multiplier. The payout values ​​of the symbols shown in the paytable are dynamic and change according to the bet value selected.

Spin Mechanic

Symbols appear on the reels in a clockwise spiral that starts in the bottom left corner and ends in the center.

Any win in the main game triggers Avalanche™. Symbols in winning combinations disappear and the remaining symbols move around the pattern, filling the empty positions, with new symbols appearing in the bottom left corner. Once all positions are filled, wins are assessed again. Avalanches continue until there are no more wins left.

Wild Symbols

The Wild symbol can have a multiplier of x1 or x2 depending on the activated feature.

If the Wild x2 symbol lands on top of the Wild x1 symbol on the reels, it replaces the Wild x1 symbol. In wins that include more than one multiplier, only the highest multiplier is applied.

Wild symbols substitute for all symbols, only in a winning match, except for the Dragon symbols and the Free Spins Key symbol. Replacing a Wild symbol brings the highest possible winning combination according to the Paytable.

Wild Features and Dragon Feature

In the main game, a winning combination of 3 or more symbols without Wild appearing on the reels activates one of the following features: Wild x1 Feature, Wild x2 Feature or Dragon Feature. After the winning combination leaves the playing area, and after their winnings are assessed, the symbols that formed the winning combination are replaced by the Wild symbol or the Dragon symbol:

• Wild x1 Feature

Triggered by a winning match of 3 symbols. The winning match is replaced by a Wild x1 symbol in the middle position before the next Avalanche starts.

• Wild x2 Feature

Triggered by a winning match of 4 symbols. The winning match is replaced by a Wild x2 symbol before the next Avalanche starts. In a vertical winning match, the Wild x2 symbol is placed in the second position from the bottom. In a horizontal winning match, the Wild x2 symbol is placed in the second position from the right. When 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 Wild symbols appear in a line and cannot create a winning combination with another symbol, they replace the symbol with the highest payout according to the paytable.

• Dragon Feature

Activated by a winning combination of 5 or more symbols. The winning combination is replaced by the Dragon symbol until the next Avalanche starts.

The Dragon symbol can have a multiplier of x1, x2 or x5. The multiplier and the color of the Dragon symbol depend respectively on the length and color group (blue, red or green) of the symbols in the winning combination that the Dragon symbol replaces.

When the Dragon symbol appears on the reels, all symbols present on the reels that are in the same color group as the Dragon, if any, are transformed into the same symbol type of the winning combination that activated the Dragon feature, generating a scatter win. When there is more than one Dragon symbol on the reels, the multiplier on each of them is only applied to the scatter win generated by the same Dragon symbol.

Example:

A winning combination of 7 symbols in the green group is replaced by a green Dragon symbol x5 in the middle position, and a winning combination of 6 symbols in the blue group is replaced by a blue Dragon symbol x2. The green Dragon symbol x5 transforms all symbols in the green group on the reels into the same symbol type that activated the green Dragon symbol x5. The blue Dragon symbol x2 transforms all symbols in the blue group on the reels into the same symbol type that activated the blue Dragon symbol x2.

These two transformations activate two scatter wins. The win for the green symbol is multiplied by 5, and for the blue symbol – by 2.

• Random Wilds Feature

The Random Wilds feature is activated when a scatter win appears on the reels.

After the scatter win leaves the play area and the wins are assessed, the Dragon symbols on the reels, all together, randomly place 2 to 4 Wild symbols on top of the symbols present on the reels. The placed Wild symbols can randomly have a multiplier of x2, x3, x5 or x10.

The Wild symbols placed on the reels by the Random Wilds feature cannot be placed in a position where there is already a Wild symbol, a Dragon symbol or a Free Spins Key symbol. If there are not enough available positions on the reels, the number of Wild symbols placed by the Random Wilds feature is reset to the number of available positions.
After the Wild symbols have been placed on the reels, the next Avalanche begins.

Free Spins Key Symbol

The Free Spins Key symbol can only appear in the main game and is placed in the bottom left corner of the reels at the start of each spin. The Free Spins Key symbol reaching the center of the reels as a result of Avalanches activates the Free Spins.

The Free Spins Key symbol cannot be removed from the reels or transformed into another symbol of one of the features.

Free Spins

When the Free Spins Key symbol reaches the bronze, silver or gold zone on the reels after all Avalanches have occurred, Free Spins are activated and the Dragon symbol appears in the center of the Free Spins reels.

The Bronze Zone has four bronze-colored keyholes and activates 5 free spins and a green Dragon symbol. The Silver Zone has two silver-colored keyholes and activates 8 free spins and a blue Dragon symbol. The Gold Zone has a gold-colored keyhole in the center of the reels and activates 10 free spins and a red Dragon symbol.

In addition, the Free Spins Multiplier is activated at the start of Free Spins and is set to x1 by default at the start of each spin. Only two types of symbols can appear on the reels during Free Spins: Gem symbols and Rock symbols.

At the start of each spin, the Dragon symbol in the center transforms all regular symbols into one random symbol type of its color group, generating a scatter win.

Before the scatter win is assessed, the gem symbols on the reels are destroyed and a random number of them can open different types of treasure chests.

The treasure chests are opened in the following order if they are present on the reels:

• Treasure chest with a multiplier
• Treasure chest with a cash prize
• Treasure chest with additional free spins
• Treasure chest with an additional Dragon symbol

Each Multiplier Treasure Chest awards a random multiplier of x1, x2, x5 or x10. Revealed multipliers are immediately added to the Free Spins multiplier value.

Each Coin Treasure Chest awards a cash prize of a random value of 0.25, 0.5 or 1x the bet. Each Extra Free Spin Treasure Chest awards 3 extra Free Spins, which are immediately added to the Free Spins meter. Each Extra Dragon Treasure Chest awards a random extra Dragon symbol, which fills all empty positions on the reels with regular symbols (each Dragon symbol awards symbols from its color group). The Dragon then transforms symbols placed on the reels into symbols of the same type, generating a scatter win.

Once all the treasure chests have revealed their prizes and there are no more wins on the reels, the wins from that spin are valued (the value of the scatter wins + the value of the cash prizes awarded, multiplied by the current Free Spins multiplier) and the next spin begins (if there is one left in the Free Spins meter).

The Free Spins are played at the same stake as the round that triggered the Free Spins. At the end of the Free Spins, the total winnings from the Free Spins are added to any wins from the round that triggered the Free Spins and the game returns to the round that triggered the Free Spins.

Elevate Feature

Game features can be activated using the Elevate feature. In the Elevate feature, one of the following features can be activated per game round:

	Wild Hunt	At 5x your bet, you are guaranteed to hit at least one winning combination on every spin.

	Double Dragon	At 50x your bet in the base game, two Dragon symbols are guaranteed to be activated.
	Gold, Silver, Bronze	For 100 bets, the Free Spins Key symbol is guaranteed to land in one of three zones: Gold, Silver or Bronze. When the Gold, Silver, Bronze feature is activated with the Elevate feature, one main game spin is played without a winning match, during which the Free Spins Key symbol is placed in one of these three zones on the reels.
	Gold Zone	For 300 bets, the Free Spins Key symbol is guaranteed to land in the gold zone. When the Gold Zone feature is activated with the Elevate feature, one main game spin is played without a winning match, during which the Free Spins Key symbol is placed in the gold zone on the reels.

Pay Mechanic
