MultiWay Xtra™
Because of MultiWay Xtra, there are 720 different ways to get the MultiWay Xtra winnings with every spin.
MultiWay Xtra pays for the same symbols popping up in any spot in 3 or more adjacent reels, beginning at the far left or the reel on the far right. If you get over 1 matching symbol popping up on the same reel, this multiplies your winnings.
The Wild symbol replaces all other symbols, apart from the Scatter symbol and the Bonus symbols.
Players win the highest MultiWay Xtra amount for each symbol, per spin.
Free Spins
If you get a Bonus symbol to pop up in any spot on five reels in a row, you will activate the Free Spins Bonus. Each winning combo of the 5 Bonus symbols will award a prize, and you get 8 free spins. Because the Bonus symbols are stacked, players can possibly win as many as 96 free spins at first.
The reels at play during the Free Spins are a lot richer because they have more Stacked Wilds in them than the regular reels in the game.
If you get a Bonus Retrigger symbol popping up in any spot on 5 reels in a row, you can retrigger the Free Spins Bonus.
With every winning combo of the 5 Bonus Retrigger symbols, you can win a prize and get 8 more free spins. This can be retriggered many times, up to 240 free spins for each Bonus.
The coin value attached to the Bonus will be the same coin value that was on your reel spin that activated the Bonus in the first place.
