Game Rules

The game includes 4 levels of progression.
To advance to the next level, players must collect a specific number of symbols that form part of winning combinations.

Level 0: Initial level. No additional features are applied to the base game.
Level 1: Adds the “Dingo $” feature, which can trigger randomly during any spin.
Level 2: Includes the “Dingo $” feature and an additional “Countdown Wilds” feature.
Level 3: Includes the “Dingo $” and “Countdown Wilds” features, and also adds a multiplier to each of the reels; this multiplier affects the value of the coins collected via the “Dingo $” feature.

On every spin, players may land a coin with a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, or even 100x.
In the base game, a coin can land in one of the following multiplier zones: 1x (black), 2x (yellow), or 3x (red). During free spins, it can land in zones with multipliers of 3x and 5x (black), 8x and 10x (yellow), or 20x and 50x (red).

Dingo $

Starting from Level 1, coins can appear on the reels – both during the initial spin and throughout the “avalanche” (cascade) sequences.

Coins cannot land on positions occupied by Scatter or Wild symbols.
In the base game, coins also cannot appear above a Scatter symbol, as the Scatter prevents them from moving toward the bottom of the reel.
When winning symbols are removed, coins may shift downward along with the remaining symbols on the reels.
Coins that reach the bottom row are collected (awarded to the player).

At Levels 1 and 2, collected coins provide an instant win equal to the coin’s value (multiplied by the bet size).
At Level 3, collected coins provide an instant win equal to the coin’s value (multiplied by the bet size), which is further multiplied by the “Dingo $” multiplier value displayed below the corresponding reel.
Once collected, coins are removed from the reels before any further win calculations are performed or additional features are triggered.

The removal of collected coins initiates the next “avalanche” on that specific reel.
Starting from Level 1, on any given spin, players can land coins with values ​​of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, or even 100x the bet size.

Countdown

Countdown Wild symbols display a numerical value that determines how many winning combinations they can participate in before being removed from the game grid.
Countdown Wild symbols can appear on reels 2 through 6 – starting from level 2 in the base game, and from level 1 during Free Spins.
The counter value decreases each time a Countdown Wild symbol participates in the formation of a winning combination.
Countdown Wild symbols substitute for all regular paying symbols, with the exception of Scatters and Coins.

Multiplier Buckets

The “Multiplier Buckets” feature follows the same rules for the appearance, descent, collection, and removal of coins as the “Dingo $” feature.
Multiplier buckets are positioned below the reels; each indicates a multiplier that is applied to the value of any coin collected on the corresponding reel.
In the base game, the following multiplier values ​​are available: 1x (black), 2x (yellow), and 3x (red).

Free Spins

Landing 3 to 6 Scatter symbols in the base game triggers a Free Spins round. Once the Free Spins round is triggered, the player is prompted to choose from several available options, which determine the number of free spins awarded.

Upon completion of the Free Spins round, the game returns to the state it was in before the round began. Free spins do not contribute to filling the collection meter.
All features from the base game remain active during the Free Spins round. In this mode, all Wild symbols transform into x2 multiplier Wilds, coins become “sticky” (locking onto the reels), Countdown Wild symbols can remain on the grid for multiple spins, and the multiplier values ​​in special positions increase.

Coins – during the Free Spins round, all coins become “sticky” and remain on the reels between spins. Before each new spin, these coins shift down by one row.
Countdown Wild symbols in Free Spins – unlike in the base game, where Countdown Wild symbols only persist for a single spin, here they remain on the reels for multiple spins.

During the Free Spins round, Countdown Wild symbols lock onto the reels. Before each subsequent spin, much like the “sticky” coins, they shift down by one row while continuing to function as Wild symbols and adhering to their own countdown rules.
If a Countdown Wild symbol does not participate in a winning combination during a given spin, its countdown value decreases by 1 before the next spin begins.

Once a Countdown Wild symbol reaches the bottom row of the reels, it remains there until the end of its lifecycle. Any remaining countdown value at the end of a spin carries over to the next spin.
When the value of a Countdown Wild symbol drops below 1, the symbol disappears and is removed from the reels.
During free spins, the multiplier values ​​at the bottom of the reels increase: to 3x and 5x (black), 8x and 10x (yellow), and 20x and 50x (red).

• Stage 1: Collect 50 winning symbols

Coins can now appear randomly on the reels. When a coin reaches the bottom of a reel, it is collected and added to your total winnings, while also being added to your symbol collection.

• Stage 2: Collect a further 100 winning symbols

Countdown Wilds can now appear randomly on the reels; they display a number indicating how many spins (rounds) they will remain active for.

• Game Collection Features: FREE SPINS

Multipliers are added to the reels, boosting the value of any coins that land on them.

Once a spin is initiated, the bet amount for that round is locked and cannot be changed.
Winnings are displayed in the user’s currency.
The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular game symbols, except for Scatter symbols and Coin symbols.
The theoretical Return to Player (RTP) percentage for this game is 94.00%.
