BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Wild: The cowboy’s hat is the wild. As the wild, it possesses the power of substituting for all other standard symbols except the connect & collect symbol.
- Connect & Collect Feature: This symbol is triggered when players land connect & collect symbols adjacent to each other. To win a prize, players need to land adjacent connect & collect symbols starting from the leftmost reel which spread until they reach a special position on reel 3 or 6. The prize awarded is that of the special position the connect & collect chain reaches. Special positions can churn out the following symbols and their associated features:
- Green Icon: This symbol lands only on special positions on reel 3 and when it does, it triggers a respin round. 5 respins are awarded at the start with all triggering connect & collect symbols transforming into sticky symbols. All new connect & collect symbols will also turn sticky. Once all respins run out, the game pays for all connections
- Red Icon: This symbol may land on any special position and when it does, it displays a random multiplier value ranging from 2x to 800x the total bet. The multiplier value is activated and applied to the payout of any chain that reaches the associated special position
- Purple Icon: This symbol lands on any special position and when reached by a connection, it awards random wilds to random reel positions
- Blue Icon: This symbol lands on any special position and when reached by a connection, it triggers the free spins feature coupled with a 2x multiplier value. The number of awarded free spins (ranging from a min of 7 to a max of 25) will be displayed on the special position.
- Jackpot Icons: Three possible jackpot icons may land and these are the mini, major and grand icons. Any one of these may land on any special position and when reached by a connection, the associated jackpot prize is paid out.
- Free Spins Feature: When the gold star scatter symbol lands in any special position which in turn is reached by a connection, the free spins feature is triggered. Alternatively, the feature triggers when at least three scatters land simultaneously on the grid. When the feature is enabled via the former route, the number of awarded free spins is displayed on the special position where the scatter was. If it’s triggered by 3, 4 or 5 scatters, players receive 7, 10 or 15 free spins respectively. The connect & collect feature plays out during this feature and functions in the same way as in the base game. Additional free spins are awarded when a chain connection reaches a special position occupied by the scatter.
- Random Grand Award: During the base game, players stand a chance of winning the grand jackpot at random.
- Buy Free Spins: Players playing the Fire Stampede may gain direct access to the free spins round by clicking the buy free spins icon on the main screen and proceeding to increase the current bet by 100x.
