The Egg symbol, Golden Egg symbol, Wild Symbols and Frames

Wild, Frame and Active Frame symbols can only appear in the base game. The Egg symbol can appear in the base game and during Free Spins. During the base game, when the Egg symbol lands on the reels, its position is marked by a Frame before it leaves the reels. The Egg symbol can randomly turn into a Golden Egg symbol, and when this happens, its Frame turns into an Active Frame.

At the end of the next spin, the position with the active frame turns into a Wild symbol. All frames adjacent to the active frame, as well as adjacent positions with frames, also turn into Wild symbols. Frames and active frames remain on the reels until they turn into Wild symbols or free spins start. Wild symbols disappear from the reels at the beginning of the next spin. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols, Egg symbols and Golden Egg symbols. Substituting a Wild symbol pays the highest possible winning combination on a bet line according to the paytable.

Free Spins Multiplier and Collect Meter

In the base game, whenever an Egg symbol lands on a position without a frame or an active frame, the Egg symbol is collected and leaves the reels and 1 point is added to the collection meter. If an Egg symbol lands on a position with a frame or an active frame, the Egg symbol is collected and leaves the reels and a random number of points between 1 and 4 is added to the collection meter. Each time the collection meter reaches 200 points, the Free Spins Multiplier in the upper right corner of the reels is gradually updated in the following order: x1, x2, x3, x5, x7, x10. After each update, the collection meter is reset to 0.

If the number of points exceeds 200, the Free Spins Multiplier increases and the difference in points is added to the collection meter after it resets to 0. If the Free Spins Multiplier reaches x10 during the base game, the collection meter remains full and no more points are added to it until Free Spins are activated. In this case, when Free Spins end, the Free Spins Multiplier resets to x1 and the collection meter resets to 0.

Each time the Free Spins Multiplier bet is changed, the symbols collected in the counter, as well as the positions of the Frames, Golden Egg and Active Frames symbols are saved along with the bet. The Frames, Active Frames and Golden Egg symbols disappear from the reels, and the Free Spins Multiplier and the collection counter are reset to their initial values. When the bet is changed back, they are restored along with the bet.

Free Spins

3 Scatter symbols appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the main game activate free spins. The initial number of free spins is 3.

All frame and active frame positions that did not turn into Wild symbols during the game round that activated the free spins remain on the reels as Egg symbols. During free spins, each empty position on the reels spins individually.

Only egg symbols can land on the reels during free spins. Each time an egg symbol appears, the number of free spins is reset to 3. All egg symbols transform into golden egg symbols at the end of each spin and reveal a random prize ranging from 0.5x to 50x the bet. At the end of free spins, the total winnings from free spins are multiplied by the free spins multiplier collected in the main game. If all positions on the reels are filled, an additional x2 multiplier is awarded and the value of the final free spins multiplier is doubled.

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 winnings from the round that triggered the free spins, and the game returns to the round that triggered the free spins.

Paylines

Wins on a bet line are paid if they are consecutive from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel with no gaps. The winning possibilities are clearly shown in the illustrations above. Only the highest win per bet line is paid.
