Special Features
Tumble Feature
When a win occurs, the winning symbols are removed from the reels. Remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen, and new symbols drop in from above to fill the empty spaces. This process—tumbling—repeats until there are no new wins. There is no limit to the number of possible tumbles during a single round, and all winnings from tumbles are paid out at the end of the spin.
Coin Collection Feature
- Silver and Gold Coin symbols can land on any reel.
- When a Coin symbol lands, it moves towards the corresponding Silver or Gold drum at the top of the screen.
- Possible outcomes when a coin reaches a drum:
- The coin strikes the drum and may trigger the Hold & Spin round.
- The coin is collected on the drum, up to a maximum of 8 coins per drum. The number of collected coins is retained between spins. When the Hold & Spin feature is triggered, a matching number of coins with random values are added to the grid at its start.
- The coin returns to its initial position and awards a random money or multiplier value. Potential prizes include: 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, 8x, 10x (MINI), 20x, 25x (MINOR), 100x (MAJOR), 1000x (GRAND). Multiplier values can be x2, x3, x5, or x10.
- The coin leaves the screen without awarding a prize.
Hold & Spin Feature
- This feature may be triggered at random when a Coin symbol hits a drum at the top of the game.
- Triggered by the Silver Drum, the Silver 5×3 grid is activated; with the Gold Drum, the Gold 5×3 grid comes into play.
- Both grids may be triggered at the same time during a round.
- On the Silver grid, only Silver Coins and blanks can appear; on the Gold grid, only Gold Coins and blanks can land.
- If only one grid is active, drum symbols during the round may open the alternate grid as well.
- At the start of the feature, coins collected from the base game are randomly positioned on the relevant grid(s) with random values.
- The round begins with 3 respins. Any coin or drum symbol landing resets the respin counter to 3.
- All coin symbols showing cash values stay on the grid until the feature ends.
- Coin multipliers increase the value of all other coins present on the grid for that round.
- The Hold & Spin round ends when there are no respins left or all spaces on the activated grid(s) are filled.
- At the end, all displayed coin values are totalled and paid.
- If a grid is entirely filled, an extra 1000x (GRAND) prize is awarded for that grid.
- The Hold & Spin feature uses special reels during play.
Special Betting Options
Players can choose from the following bet multipliers:
- ANTE BET 1: Multiplies the base bet by 50. Guarantees at least one Silver Coin symbol will land on each spin during the base game.
- Bet multiplier 20x: Standard play settings.
Maximum Win
The largest possible win in a single game round is 20,000 times the current bet. If this sum is reached during any respins feature, the round ends immediately, the amount is paid, and any remaining respins are forfeited.
