Features
Matching Mystery Symbols
During any spin, special Mystery Symbols can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. A maximum of 2 can land per reel. When one or more of these mystery symbols land, a random symbol from the first reel is picked and all mystery symbols will change into that symbol, but as a double symbol. So the number of ways is increased.
Any symbol can be chosen, also wilds and scatters.
Free Spins Feature
3 scatter symbols will award 8 free spins. And any extra scatter symbol will add 2 more free spins to this up to a maximum of 44 free spins.
During free spins Mystery Symbols can now also look as an orb and these are collected into a meter below the reels. When you have collected 5 of them, the Mystery Symbols will now reveal 3 symbols per symbol and you will also receive 2 more free spins. Collect another 5 of these orbs and all mystery symbols now reveal into 5 symbols per symbol and you get another 2 more free spins.
Scatter symbols don’t appear during free spins and after the second level you can no longer win extra free spins.
Bonus Buy
For 100 times your bet you are able to buy the free spins feature. This will award a minimum of 3 scatter symbols. They also offer other extra bets, which increases win chances.
