Game Rules

Wild Symbol. This is the WILD symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the BONUS symbol.

The WILD symbol appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4 and can appear as a 1×1 (regular), 1×3 (EXPANDED), or 3×3 (COLOSSAL) symbol. On each spin, all WILD symbols have a random multiplier of 2x or 3x. The WILD multiplier is applied to wins on each payline. If more than one WILD symbol is involved in a payline win, the multipliers of all WILD symbols on that line are added together.

• This is the BONUS symbol. It appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. Locating 3 RED BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers the FREE SPINS ROUND.

• This is the BIGGIE BONUS symbol. It appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. If the BIGGIE BONUS is part of a winning combination with any other BONUS symbols, it triggers the FREE SPINS feature with the BIGGIE modifier.

• This is the GHOST OUT BONUS symbol. It appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. If the GHOST OUT BONUS is part of a winning combination with any other BONUS symbols, it triggers the FREE SPINS feature with the GHOST OUT modifier.

Free Spins

Before the round begins, a random number of free spins is awarded. A 3×3 reel grid will spin automatically to reveal the number of free spins in each cell. Each cell displays a random number: 1, 2, or 3 free spins. The numbers in each cell are added together to determine the total amount awarded.

During the FREE SPINS ROUND, all WILD symbols are 1×1 in size and can land on reels 2, 3, or 4, then remain on the screen for the entire duration of the FREE SPINS round. Sticky WILD symbols have a random multiplier that is revealed when a WILD symbol lands and remains unchanged for the rest of the round.

This is the GHOST WILD symbol. It appears only on reel 5. It substitutes for all symbols and has a random multiplier of 2x or 3x. Whenever it lands during a round, a random sticky WILD of any size currently on the screen is selected and becomes unsticky, leaving the screen at the start of the next spin.

If the round was triggered with the BIGGIE modifier, all WILD symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 appear only in a 1×3 size. If the round was triggered with the GHOST OUT modifier, the GHOST WILD symbol cannot appear on reel 5. If the round was triggered with both the GHOST OUT and BIGGIE modifiers, all WILD symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 appear in a 1×3 size, and there are no GHOST WILD symbols on reel 5. BONUS symbols are absent from the reels during the FREE SPINS round. The feature cannot be retriggered. During the Free Spins round, special reels are active.
