Expanding symbol

An expanding symbol may appear at any time during the main game. When it appears, this symbol expands (if possible) to the squares immediately adjacent to it to the left, right, above and below. During Free Spins, one symbol is chosen at random and becomes an expanding symbol for the remainder of the Free Spins.

Multiplier Cells

Whenever 2 expanding symbols overlap anywhere on the field, that cell becomes a Multiplier Cell. The multiplier starts at x2 and can increase by x1 each time 2 expanding symbols overlap. Wins for any winning symbol clusters involving such cells are multiplied by that cell’s multiplier. If multiple Multiplier Cells overlap in a cluster, the multipliers are first added together and then applied to the cluster win.

Ladder of Functions

When winning clusters of any symbols are removed from the grid, the number of removed symbols is added to the feature ladder.

• 16 winning symbols – double the payout for subsequent cluster wins in that spin. Depending on the situation, these are added to the Multiplier Cells.
• 24 winning symbols – 1 random symbol is removed from the field, initiating a cascade of the remaining symbols (if possible).
• 32 winning symbols – 1 to 3 Random Wilds are added to the reels, replacing other symbols.
• 40 winning symbols – if there are no winning combinations on the reels, the reels are re-spinned. Depending on the situation, the feature ladder is reset, and the expanding symbol remains.

The Symbol Supernova and Comet Crash features are triggered when there are no wins left on the reels. The total multiplier and Multiplier Cell increase immediately after reaching the required parameters. The Re-Spin feature is also triggered when there are no wins left on the reels.

Free Spins

The expanding symbol remains active until the end of Free Spins. All created Multiplier Cells remain on the field until the end of Free Spins, and their value can be further increased if another expanding symbol overlaps them or if a x2 multiplier from the feature ladder is applied to them.

Free Spins Feature Ladder

When winning clusters of any symbols are removed from the grid, the number of symbols removed is added to the feature ladder.

• 16 winning symbols triple the payout for subsequent cluster wins on the spin. Depending on the situation, these are added to the Multiplier Cells.
• 24 winning symbols 2 random symbols are removed from the field, initiating a cascading fall of the remaining symbols (if possible).
• 32 winning symbols 2 to 4 Random Wilds are added to the reels, replacing other symbols.
• 40 winning symbols all active Multiplier Cells are increased by x2.

The Symbol Supernova and Comet Crash features are triggered when there are no wins left on the reels. The Total Multiplier and Multiplier Cell increase immediately after the required parameters are reached. The Cell Expanding feature is activated immediately after the required parameters are reached.

Scatter symbol

Free Spins are triggered when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear in the main game. 3 Scatter symbols award the player 6 Free Spins, all subsequent Scatter symbols award one additional Free Spin, but no more than 8 Free Spins. During the Free Spins bonus, Scatter symbols do not appear. After any winning combination is awarded, Scatter symbols are removed from the reels. If, when Scatter symbols appear, no winning combinations are formed on the reels, Scatter symbols are also removed, initiating a cascading fall of symbols.

Volatility Choice

Once Free Spins are triggered, the player can choose the volatility by selecting a group of symbols from which an expanding symbol will be randomly selected.

• Low volatility – a random expanding symbol will be selected from 5 low-paying symbols.
• High volatility – a random expanding symbol will be selected from 5 high-paying symbols.

Winnings Calculation Procedure

Clusters are formed from 5 or more identical symbols adjacent to each other (left, right, top or bottom). The formed cluster is paid and removed from the field. If this is possible, a cascade of symbols falls, and new symbols fall into the vacant places. If several Multiplier Cells are involved in a winning combination, their values ​​are summed up. If there is an active common multiplier, the sum of any win is multiplied by the common multiplier.

RTP

The expected payout reflects the payout for a very large number of spins made by many players over a long period of time and is independent of the player’s strategy.

• RTP of the main game depends on the volatility selected by the player when the Free Spins bonus is triggered: the low volatility option gives 96.35%, the high volatility option gives 96.32%

• 3 Scatters: the average RTP for the low volatility option is 96.32%, for the high volatility option it is 96.27%

• 5 Scatters: the average RTP for the low volatility option is 96.90%, for the high volatility option it is 96.91%
• RTP of the feature spins depends on the volatility selected by the player when the Free Spins bonus is triggered: the low volatility option gives 96.76%, the high volatility option gives 96.77%
• RTP spins with bonus boost depends on the volatility selected by the player when the Free Spins bonus is triggered: the low volatility option gives 95.99%, the high volatility option gives 96.02%
