Wild Symbols

Wild symbols can form their own winning combination by appearing within a combination along a payline. Wild symbols can substitute for any symbol except for feature symbols. Wild symbols can replace other symbols to form winning combinations. Wild symbols appear only in the main game.

Link&Win™ Feature

This feature can be triggered by collecting 1 or more feature symbols. 3 free re-spins are awarded. All symbols replace blank symbols and re-spin positions. All symbols that land restore the remaining re-spins to 3. Only coin symbols and blank fields are possible in this feature. Any wins are credited when the feature ends. Wins during the feature are added to the main game wins. The feature ends when either there are no re-spins left, or all symbol positions are filled, or the win limit per transaction is reached. This feature can be triggered during the main game. The same bets are used as in the spin from which the feature was triggered.

If a symbol win occurs in conjunction with this feature trigger, the symbol win is awarded before the feature starts. When a Link & Win™ Feature is triggered, the collection pot/pots associated with that trigger will reset when you return to the main game. The Link & Win™ Feature will trigger with 1, 2 or 3 features active. The Feature Symbols collected during a Link & Win™ Feature trigger will affect which features are active in that Link & Win™ Feature spin:

• If only 1 type of Feature Symbol is collected, only that feature will be active.
• If 2 types of Feature Symbols are collected, both of those features will be active.
• If 3 types of Feature Symbols are collected, all 3 features will be active.

Connector Feature:

Landed coins are kept in place while all other symbol fields are re-spinned. Each coin displays a random cash value. The displayed cash values ​​are multiplied by the total bet. Matching 5 coins horizontally, vertically or diagonally corner-to-corner activates the next multiplier. The activated multiplier will be applied to the values ​​of the 5 coins in that set. Each additional set completed will increase the multiplier for that set. The multiplier stages are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, 12x and 15x.

If the Connector and Jackpot features are activated at the same time, any Jackpot coins that land will not be included in completed sets. If the Connector and Collector features are activated at the same time, any Cash Collection coins that land will be included in completed sets and multiplied by the activated set multiplier. If 2 or more sets are completed in a single spin, the corresponding multiplier steps are activated in the following predetermined order:

• First, to any completed horizontal rows, starting from the topmost one.
• Second, to any completed vertical reels, starting from the leftmost one.
• Last, to any completed diagonal sets, starting from the top left position.

Collector Feature:

The Cash Coins and Cash Collection Coins that land are kept in place while all other symbol fields are re-spinned.
Each Cash Coin displays a random cash value. The Cash Collection Coin collects the sum of any Cash Collection Coins and Cash Coins that land to form a total cash value for the current spin.

Up to 3 Cash Collection Coins may land. If the Jackpot and Collector features are activated at the same time, the HUGE, LARGE, SMALL and MINI prizes are not collected by the Cash Collection Coin. If 2 or more Cash Collection Coins land in a single spin, they will be collected in the following row and reel order: Top to bottom, then left to right, starting with the topmost symbol position on reel 1 and ending with the bottommost symbol position on reel 5.

Jackpot Feature:

No Cash Coins, MINI, SMALL, MAJOR or HUGE Jackpot Coins are dropped during this feature. Dropped Cash Coins are kept in place while all other symbol fields are re-spinned. Four coins of the same Jackpot must drop and be collected to receive the corresponding Jackpot. Jackpot Coins will disappear from the reels when collected.

• The HUGE Jackpot is worth 5,000x.
• The MAJOR Jackpot is worth 500x.
• The SMALL Jackpot is worth 50x.
• The MINI Jackpot is worth 15x.

Each Jackpot can only be triggered once per Link&Win™ feature session.
