Bonus Buy
During the game, you can purchase a Free Spins round or the Hold & Win feature at a specified price. If you change your bet, the cost of the bonus purchase is recalculated automatically. The spin following the purchase triggers the Free Spins round or the Hold & Win feature, depending on which one was purchased.
Game Rules
Scatter symbol. Pays out in any position when 3 or more symbols land. Can appear on any reel. Landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols triggers a series of free spins.
Wild symbol. Substitutes for any symbol in a winning combination, except for Scatter symbols. Can appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. During free spins, each Wild symbol carries a multiplier: x2, x3, or x5. The multipliers from all landed Wild symbols are added together, and the total multiplier is applied to all winning combinations.
The “Cracker” symbol appears only during the Hold & Win feature. It can land in large, medium, or small-sized cells. The cell where this symbol lands splits into two empty cells: a large cell splits into two medium ones, and a medium cell splits into two small ones. The resulting cells remain empty; new symbols may appear in them starting from the next spin. If the symbol lands in a small cell, splitting is not possible; in this case, one of the occupied large or medium cells is randomly selected and split into two, with the win value preserved in each of the resulting cells.
Free Spins
Free spins are triggered by landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols on the reels. The number of free spins depends on the number of Scatter symbols landed: 4 symbols award 12 spins, 5 symbols award 15 spins, and 6 symbols award 20 spins. If 3 or more Scatter symbols land on the reels during the free spins round, the player is awarded additional free spins. In this case, 3 Scatter symbols award 5 extra spins, 4 symbols award 12, 5 symbols award 15, and 6 symbols award 20 extra spins.
Hold & Win
The game features a special “Coin” symbol. It can land on all 6 reels alongside other symbols. Landing 6 or more “Coin” symbols in a single spin during the base game triggers the Hold & Win feature. This is a bonus round involving only “Coin” symbols: the more the player collects, the larger the payout. Coin values can range from x1 to x100 of the bet amount (specifically: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, or x100).
The round begins with 3 respins. The “Coin” symbols that triggered the feature remain in their positions. The layout of the remaining positions matches the spin that activated the feature; initially, these positions are empty. Any “Coin” symbols that land on the reels during the round lock in place until the round ends. Each time a “Coin” symbol or a “Cracker” symbol lands on the reels, the respin count resets to 3. The round continues until the respins run out or all reel positions are filled with “Coin” symbols. At the end of the round, the values of all coins are summed up, and the total amount is paid out to the player.
Jackpots
You can win a jackpot during the Hold & Win feature. There are three types of jackpots: Mini, Major, and Mega. To win the Mini and Major jackpots, the corresponding coins must land on the reels. To win the Mega jackpot, all 48 positions must be filled with coins. The Mega jackpot is unavailable until the progress bar on the left side of the screen is filled with Scatter symbols (each time a Scatter lands on the reels, it fills a slot on the progress bar).
