Inside the game

How it plays

Wild symbols substitute for every symbol except Scatters. In the main game, Scatterwins are paid on 2 or more Scatter symbols, with the paytable multiplier applied to the total bet. Free Spins start when Scatter symbols, 3 or more of them, appear in any position. The player then wins 15 or more Free Spins. Each Scatter symbol during Free Spins gives an additional Free Spin. During Free Spins, wins pay five times the normal win. Winnings are added to the player’s cash at the end of Free Spins.

NetEnt publishes an RTP of 95.87%, a 23% hit frequency and a maximum payout of 4,400 times the bet. The grid is 5×3 with up to 9 paylines, and bets run from €0.09 to €45.00. On NetEnt’s scale the volatility index is 8.9.
