BONUSES
- Wild: The symbol possessing the wild powers is the target icon inscribed WILD. Landing a wild icon anywhere on the reels increases the current playing area. Note that any target symbol that lands on an active playing area immediately becomes wild if it isn’t wild already.
- Scatter: The scatter comes in the form of a light brown portrait coming with a red circle at the centre. This symbol only counts as a scatter when it lands on an active playing area. Note that a scatter which is split on the same spin that a bonus mode is triggered will add a multiplier value.
- Cluster Payout Reel Area: Initially, the game plays out on a 3 x 3-reel grid. However, the playing area can increase up to a 7 x 7 grid format. The active playing area is expanded by either the xBomb explosions, targets or colossal symbols. Clusters originate once players land a winning cluster featuring five or more identical symbols landing adjacent to each other either horizontally or vertically. Winning clusters once they occur initiate cascades or reactions that make it possible for players to scoop successive winning clusters.
- xBomb Wild Multiplier: The bomb icon inscribed WILD represents the xBomb. This symbol when it lands on an active playing area explodes and, in the process, open up more playing positions. When the icon lands adjacent to the active area border, it expands the playing area by one reel or row. If it lands in the corner of the playing area, it expands the playing area by 1 reel and 1 row. The xBomb icon receives a 2x multiplier value when it’s split for the first time. Successive splits further increase the multiplier twofold. When the xBombs explode, they increase the win multiplier by one on each cascade. xBomb explosions do not affect scatters and wilds on non-winning spins.
- xSplit: During gameplay, players may land xSplit symbols represented by swords. These swords will split symbols in the direction of the swords handle. The xSplit symbols use their powers only when they have landed in active playing positions and the cascades have stopped. It’s possible for an xSplit symbol to split another xSplit symbol. When this happens, an additional sword pointing in a new direction is awarded. An xSplit symbol with four swords awards a 2x win multiplier. All symbols split by an xSplit symbol with a multiplier value will receive the same multiplier value. All special symbols receive a 2x multiplier when split by the xSplit symbol.
- Colossal Symbol: Players may land colossal symbols during their gaming sessions. When this happens, the active playing area is extended to accommodate to colossal symbol. Colossal symbols come either in a 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 format and initially counts as a single symbol. 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 colossal symbols are split into twos and threes respectively during the xSplit feature. On the fourth split, the split symbols receive a 2x multiplier or multiply each individual multiplier with 2.
