Wins begin on the leftmost reel and are paid from left to right only on adjacent reels. Gaps between reels do not count. Only the longest line on each active payline is paid. In this game, a payline is considered the same as a winline. A game round at the selected bet level begins when the player presses the Spin button.

The game can be played automatically by activating the Auto Spin feature. Hold Spin or use the Auto Spin button to set the number of automatic spins. Wins and winning combinations are paid out according to the paytable. Wins are displayed in the player’s currency or coins. The player can adjust these settings in the settings.

Wild symbols substitute for any payout symbol. A winning combination consisting solely of Wild symbols pays out according to the highest-paying symbol.

Arm The Cannon

There are 14 Skibbling Lanterns on the reels. Skibblings can be collected from them. Skibbling Lanterns are not affected by gravity.

If a winning combination passes through a Skibbling lantern, it is collected into a cannon. Depending on the color of the Skibbling lantern, it awards a different number of Skibblings.

• When a winning combination crosses a high-value Skibbling lantern, 10 Skibblings are added to the cannon.
• When a winning combination crosses a medium-value Skibbling lantern, 3 Skibblings are added to the cannon.
• When a winning combination crosses a low-value Skibbling lantern, 1 Skibbling is added to the cannon.

Unlit Skibbling lanterns can be replenished after each Avalanche.

Cannon Blast

The Cannon Shot feature is triggered when the winnings run out and the cannon contains at least 5 Skibblings.

The Cannon Shot feature begins with a re-spin, which fires all Skibblings from the cannon. A Skibbling can land on any position on the reels that doesn’t contain a Sticky symbol. Sticky symbols include Wild, Paladin, Wizard, and Bonus symbols.

When a Skibbling lands, it transforms into a Mystery symbol. Each time a Skibbling lands on an existing Mystery symbol, its multiplier increases. When all Skibblings land, the reels stop spinning. All Mystery symbols then transform into any type of payout symbol or Wild. After the transformation, the multiplier remains on the symbol. If this results in a new win, the Avalanche feature continues.

The “Skibbling Rain” feature can be activated at the start of any spin or Free Spin. It adds Skibblings to the game board.

When a Skibbling appears during Skibbling Rain, it transforms into a Mystery symbol. Each time a Skibbling lands on an existing Mystery symbol, its multiplier increases. When all Skibblings land, the reels stop spinning. Then, all Mystery symbols transform into any type of payout symbol or Wild. After the transformation, the multiplier remains on the symbol. If this results in a new win, the Avalanche feature continues.

The Bonus Rain feature can be activated during any spin in the regular game. It adds 2, 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols, or a combination of Super Bonus and Bonus symbols, to the reels.

Skibbling King

The Skibbling King can activate two features: Skibbling Rain or Bonus Rain.

• SKIBBLING RAIN. Skibbling Rain adds Mystery symbols by dropping Skibblings on the reels.
• BONUS RAIN. Bonus Rain adds bonus symbols to the reels.

Paladin And Wizard

The Paladin symbol can appear during any spin. It acts as a Wild symbol and is activated when part of a winning combination. It collects all Skibblings from lit lanterns and loads them into a cannon. After a win, the Paladin symbol is removed along with any adjacent payout symbols. The Avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations form.

The Wizard symbol can appear in any spin. It acts as a Wild symbol and is activated when part of a winning combination. It lights all unlit Skibbling lanterns in any high, medium, or low-value combination.

The Wizard explodes, destroying itself and all payout symbols on the reels. After the explosion, all lanterns remain lit. The Avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations form.

Bonus Game

A combination of 3 or more bonus symbols during regular play triggers the Free Spin bonus mode.

• 3 bonus symbols: 7 Free Spins
• 4 bonus symbols: 9 Free Spins
• 5 bonus symbols: 11 Free Spins

A combination of bonus symbols and a super bonus symbol activates the Super Bonus Game, in which each Free Spin begins with a guaranteed Skibbling Rain.

Three or more bonus symbols activate the Free Spins bonus game. The bonus game begins when winning combinations are completed.

A bonus symbol landing during the bonus game awards one additional Free Spin. During the bonus game, all Skibblings collected in the cannon are carried over between Free Spins. The Cannon Shot feature is not activated until there are no winning combinations left in the last Free Spin.

In the bonus game, after the “Cannon Shot” feature is activated, bonus symbols no longer appear on the playing field. Wins are paid out at the end of the bonus mode.

You cannot change your bet once the round has started. When you reach the winning limit, the game round ends and all winnings are paid out.

Skibblings has two modes: a regular mode and a bonus mode with Free Spins. All wins from the current spin are added together, after which all symbols in a winning combination explode and disappear. New symbols fall from above, filling the empty spaces. The Avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations appear.
