- Free Game Feature: Three or more of the scatter icons landing on the reels at once help the player activate the Free Game Feature. When the feature activates, two special wild symbols appear on reel 3 – the player is tasked with selecting one of the two special wilds. Once a special wild has been selected, the round starts in the Unlimited Spin Mode. Here, whenever the special wild selected is part of a win line, the payout for that win line receives a 2x multiplier – the multiplier increases by 1 for the next five consecutive spins. If the unselected wild appears on the reels, the Unlimited Spin Mode transforms into a Spin Countdown Mode. In the Spin Countdown Mode, the player is awarded five spins with the spins decreasing by one after each spin. Landing the selected special wild in the Spin Countdown Mode will see it revert back to the Unlimited Spin Mode. However, if no selected special wild appears in the Spin Countdown Mode, once the countdown reaches zero spins, the feature comes to an end.

SUMMARY
Most people do have that one person whom they confide in at all times. It is this one person that all secrets are shared with whether good or bad. Just as the ordinary folks do have a special person to confide in be it a friend or family member, powerful Kings and Queens also do have such people.
In the ancient times during the Ming Dynasty in the Eastern world, the most powerful person at that time the Emperor befriended Jinyiwei who happened to be his personal guard. In addition to protecting the Emperor, Jinyiwei also became a close keeper of all of the Emperor’s secrets.
Recognizing that Jinyiwei could possess information that could lead to the demise of the Emperor, many enemies of the Emperor on numerous occasions tried to buy the allegiance of Jinyiwei but without success.
