Game Rules

• Wild Symbols

The Wild symbol appears anywhere on the reels during the main game and Volcanic Spins.

Wild symbols can substitute for all symbols except the Collect, Money, Scatter, Booster, Token, Collector, and Payer symbols. Wild symbols can appear with a gemstone attached, which is collected in the Bonus Boost Meter. Wild symbols can form their own winning combinations by appearing within a payline combination.

Cash Collect

The Cash Collect feature is available in the main game and Volcanic Spins. To trigger a Cash Collect win, one or more Cash symbols and the Collect symbol must appear on the reels during a single spin.

Cash symbols can appear on reels 1-4. Cash prize values ​​are: 0.2x, 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, and 50x the bet. The Collect symbol can only appear on reel 5. When activated, the sum of all visible Cash symbols is paid. The Collect symbol can also activate any unlocked Boosters, increasing cash prizes.

Boosters

Above the main reels is an additional top reel with four Boosters: Adder, Multi, Respin, and Expand. Landing the same Booster three times unlocks that Booster, locking it in until it’s activated by the next Collect symbol. Once unlocked, the Booster is activated when Cash Collect is triggered. Once activated, the used Booster is reset.

• Adder: Adds a random cash value to all cash symbols on the reels; possible values ​​are 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, and 50x the bet.
• Multi: Multiplies the values ​​of all cash symbols on the reels by a random multiplier (2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x).
• Respin: Triggers a respin of all symbols on the reels except the cash symbols. Any cash symbols that landed during the Cash Collect spin remain locked in place.
• Expand: Expands any reel containing one or more Money symbols, adding extra Money symbols with random values ​​of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 50x the bet.

Treasure Chests

Before the Bonus round begins, the player opens a Treasure Chest to receive tokens:

• Blue Chest: 3-4 random tokens.
• Green Chest: 5-6 random tokens.
• Red Chest: 7-9 random tokens and one guaranteed filled Bonus Totem upon entering the Bonus round.

The type of Treasure Chest awarded is determined by the Bonus Boost Meter’s position when the Bonus round is activated. Treasure Chests award tokens for Bonus Totems. A chest can contain four different types of tokens. These tokens count toward the corresponding Bonus Totems: Sticky Collector, Sticky Payer, Spinner, and Expander.

Bonus Boost Meter

The Bonus Boost Meter is filled by collecting overlapping gems, which can land on top of Wild symbols. The meter is divided into three segments and 20 steps, and collection always begins with an unlocked Blue Chest. Filling the second segment (10 steps) upgrades the Blue Chest to a Green Chest, and completing the entire meter upgrades the Green Chest to a Red Chest. Bonus Boost progress resets after completing a Bonus if the Bonus Boost was fully filled and the player received a Red Chest. After each reset, the player gains 5 steps on the Bonus Boost Meter.

Bonus

The Bonus is randomly activated on any spin in the main game that contains a non-winning cash symbol. The Bonus begins with 5 spins, with 3 random cash prizes randomly placed on the reels. Additionally, available tokens are placed on the reels before the first spin.

During the Bonus, cash symbols, tokens, special symbols (Collector, Payer, Sticky Collector, Sticky Payer), and blank symbols can appear on the reels. During the Bonus, cash symbols can land on any reel; possible values ​​are: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, or 50x the bet.

• Payer: Lands with its own value, adds it to all symbols landed on the reels before and during the current spin, and then transforms into a Money symbol.

• Collector: Lands with its own value, collects all Money symbols landed on the reels before and during the current spin, and then transforms into a Money symbol.

• Sticky Payer: After collecting 3 Sticky Payer tokens, the activating token transforms into a Sticky Payer symbol and triggers the Sticky Payer feature.

• Sticky Collector: After collecting 3 Sticky Collector tokens, the activating token transforms into a Sticky Collector symbol and triggers the Sticky Collector feature.

Blank symbols appear on all reels during the bonus round, as well as on the top reel in the main game and Volcanic Spins.

Collect three tokens in the Bonus Totem to activate the corresponding feature. During the Bonus, four different types of tokens can appear on the reels: The Sticky Collector token is collected for the Sticky Collector feature. After collecting three Sticky Collector tokens, the activating token transforms into a Sticky Collector symbol, triggering the Sticky Collector feature. The Sticky Payer token is collected for the Sticky Payer feature. After collecting three Sticky Payer tokens, the activating token transforms into a Sticky Payer symbol, triggering the Sticky Payer feature.

• The Spinner Token is collected for the Spinner feature, and once activated, the activating token disappears on the next spin.
• The Expander Token is collected for the Expander feature, and once activated, the activating token disappears on the next spin.
• Sticky Collector Totem: Collects all cash values ​​on the reels on every spin until the end of the feature.
• Sticky Payer Totem: Selects a random cash value (from 1x to 50x) and adds it to all cash symbols on the reels until the end of the feature.
• Spinner Totem: Awards 5 bonus spins and can be activated an unlimited number of times.
• Expander Totem: Expands the reel grid from 5×3 to 5×5 until the end of the feature.

Each Bonus Totem (except the Spinner) can be activated once by collecting three tokens of the same type. Bonus Totem effects remain active until the Bonus ends. The Bonus ends when all spins are used or when the grid is completely filled. If the grid is completely filled, no additional prize is awarded. The total win is calculated by summing all visible cash values ​​at the end of the Bonus. The in-game collection animation is for visual entertainment only and does not affect the awarding of features or prizes.

Volcanic Spins

Volcanic Spins are activated by landing 3 Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the main game. Initially, 10 spins are awarded. Landing 2 Scatter symbols on reels 1 and 3 during the feature awards 3 additional spins. Landing 3 Scatter symbols awards 10 additional spins. Boosters are active during Volcanic Spins. Boosters are initially locked. Landing 3 identical Boosters unlocks them. Unlocked Boosters remain active for the remainder of Volcanic Spins and are triggered with each Cash Collect. Spins are played at the same bet as the activating spin. All wins are summed up and added to the total winnings after the feature ends.

Betting Rules

The value of each spin played is equal to the total bet. The initial bet is the current total bet divided by the payline value of 20. The total bet is equal to the initial bet multiplied by the value of the played paylines.

Paylines

The game has 20 paylines. The number of playable paylines is fixed. A payline is a series of adjacent symbols lining up on the reels. The player wins when identical symbols land on adjacent positions forming a payline. Payline wins are calculated from left to right, starting from the first reel.
