Special Symbols And Features

Chained Monsters & Chain Breakers

Each spin is numbered from 1 to 10, indicated by a counter above the reels. There are 3 linked monsters around the slot, and each monster has 3 chains that hold it up. The chains are also represented by a 3-step progress bar next to the monster. Breaking a monster’s chain will complete 1 step of the progress bar. On the 10th spin, monsters that have at least one of their chains broken will activate the corresponding feature for that particular spin. The monster features become more intense the more of their chains have been broken. After the 10th spin, the monster chains are restored. Monster chains are broken when Chain Breaker Scatters land. There are 3 types of Chain Breaker Scatters that can land – red, green, and blue – and each one breaks the chain of the corresponding monster. Chain Breaker Scatters can appear on every spin except the 10th. Only one Chain Breaker symbol can appear per spin, and up to 3 Chain Breakers of a certain type can appear per 10 spin cycle (one for each chain of a certain monster).

Minotaur

The Minotaur’s chains are broken when the red Chain Breaker scatter symbol lands. On the 10th spin, the Minotaur expands the reels based on the number of chains he has broken:

• 1 broken chain – expands the reels to 5×4
• 2 broken chains – expands the reels to 5×5
• 3 broken chains – expands the reels to 6×5

The default grid size is 5×3 with 243 ways to win. The maximum win-way potential increases with each expansion:

• 5×4 grid offers up to 1,024 ways to win
• 5×5 grid offers up to 3,125 ways to win
• 6×5 grid offers up to 15,625 ways to win

Medusa

Medusa’s chains are broken when the green Chain Breaker scatter symbol lands. On the 10th spin, Medusa adds WILDS symbols to random positions on the reels depending on the number of chains she has broken:

• 1 broken chain – adds 2 or 3 WILDS symbols
• 2 broken chains – adds 4 or 5 WILDS symbols
• 3 broken chains – adds 6 or 7 WILDS symbols

WILDS symbols cannot appear on the first and last reels of any slot size.

Cerberus

Cerberus’ chains are broken when the blue Chain Breaker scatter symbol lands. On the 10th spin, Cerberus adds a WIN MULTIPLIER based on the number of chains he breaks:

• 1 broken chain – adds a WIN MULTIPLIER of x2 or x3
• 2 broken chains – adds a WIN MULTIPLIER of x4 or x5
• 3 broken chains – adds a WIN MULTIPLIER of x6 or x7

Wild Symbol

WILDS symbols appear only as a result of the Medusa feature. They substitute for all paid symbols and only count towards forming the longest winning combination in a single round.

Monster Spins

Landing 3 MONSTER SPINS Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 activates the bonus game with 10 FREE SPINS. MONSTER SPINS Scatter symbols can land on any spin in the regular game except the 10th spin of the cycle. MONSTER SPINS Scatter symbols cannot land during MONSTER SPINS. Any previously broken chains from the spin cycle in the regular game do not carry over to the bonus game. During MONSTER SPINS, after a chain is broken, the corresponding monster feature is activated with the corresponding intensity on the next spin. The reel expansion awarded by the Minotaur and the WIN MULTIPLIER awarded by Cerberus remain active, while Medusa will place WILDS symbols on random reel positions on each spin until the end of the bonus game. Breaking all monster chains during MONSTER SPINS awards +3 bonus spins, for a total of a maximum of 19 FREE SPINS if all 3 monster chains are broken, taking into account the initial 10. After the bonus round ends, the player returns to the main game with the same chain status they had before entering MONSTER SPINS.
