Special Symbols and Bonus Features

Scatter and Super Scatter Symbols

The Scatter and Super Scatter symbols can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. When three of these symbols land in a single spin, they trigger the Free Spins feature and pay 5 times the total wager.

The Mystery Symbol Feature

The Full Mystery symbol covers an entire reel, turning each of its covered positions into either a random paying symbol or a Money symbol. If the Full Mystery symbol reveals Money symbols and enough appear on the screen, it activates the Respin feature. Symbols that transform via this feature pay according to the paytable, even if they do not land on adjacent reels.

The Respin Feature Explained

The Money symbol can appear in the base game, showing a randomly chosen value: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 30x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x or 5000x the total wager. It can also offer an opportunity to access Free Spins or Super Free Spins rounds.

When six or more Money symbols appear anywhere on the reels in one spin, the Respin feature begins:

• Only Money symbols stay on the reels; all other symbols are removed.
• The feature starts with three respins. Each time a new Money symbol lands, the respins reset to three.
• Each Money symbol that lands remains in place for the rest of the feature.
• The round ends when either respins run out or the screen is entirely filled with Money symbols.
• After the feature finishes, all Money symbol values are totalled and paid. If the Money symbols fill every position, an extra prize of 2000x the total wager is awarded.
• If any Money symbols display Free Spins or Super Free Spins, the corresponding round is granted after the Respin feature concludes.

Free Spins and Mystery Levels

Three Scatter symbols anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4 activate the Free Spins feature. Prior to the start of Free Spins, one symbol (or the Money symbol) is randomly selected as the Mystery symbol for the entire round.

If two Scatter symbols and one Super Scatter symbol appear, the Super Level Free Spins are triggered, where the chosen Mystery symbol is always the Money symbol.

Free Spins Levels

• A, K, Q, J as Mystery Symbol: Bronze level Free Spins
• Scroll, Ink Bottle, Telescope as Mystery Symbol: Silver level Free Spins
• Globe or Hourglass as Mystery Symbol: Gold level Free Spins
• Money Symbol as Mystery Symbol: Super level Free Spins

Gambling for Mystery Symbol Upgrades

Before starting Free Spins, players may choose to gamble to potentially increase the Mystery symbol’s value or upgrade the round’s level, or to collect and start with the current symbol and level. When gambling, a book rotates and stops on a symbol, level, or blank. Landing on a symbol or level enhances the round, while landing on a blank ends the round without entering Free Spins. The chances of success depend on your starting Mystery symbol and level. Gambling can continue up to the Super level or the Money symbol as Mystery.

How the Free Spins Progress

Once the Free Spins round commences, every Full Mystery symbol that lands expands to cover the entire reel and reveals the pre-selected Mystery symbol in all its positions. In the Super level, if enough Money symbols appear via Full Mystery symbols, this immediately triggers the Respin feature.

During Free Spins, any collected Scatter symbols are tracked in a meter:

• For Bronze, Silver, or Gold rounds: Every four collected Scatters advance the feature to the next level, randomly assign a new Mystery symbol, and award two additional Free Spins.
• For the Super level: The Mystery symbol remains as the Money symbol, and every four Scatters grant two extra Free Spins.

Special reels operate throughout all Free Spins features.

Maximum Win Limit

The most that can be awarded from a single round is 5,000 times your wager. If this cap is reached, the round ends immediately, all remaining features stop, and the win is paid up to this maximum.
