Slot Features

You win when you strike five or more connected symbols horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid. All winning symbols will vanish to make space for new ones, allowing for consecutive wins on a single spin. The lower-paying symbols in the mountains are four circles containing the elemental symbols for water, earth, wind, and fire. A success consisting of 16 or more symbols awards between 4X and 7X the wager. The higher-paying symbols are golden bird faces, mountain lion faces, dragon faces, and avian faces. The animals share the same hues as the lower-paying symbols, which each represent a different element. A gain with 16 or more symbols is worth between 10X and 100X the wager. There are a number of Wild Symbols that can substitute for all symbols except the Scatter and Free Drops Symbols.

There is a standard Wild Symbol as well as several unique ones. They all replace all standard characters, but not special characters. If multiple Wilds contribute to a triumph, they combine to form a Multiplier Wild. The multiplier is applied to subsequent victories involving the symbol before the total Win Multiplier is applied.

If a Wild contributes to multiple winning clusters, it divides into multiple Wilds during the cascade. You can also land an Exploding Wild, which destroys all adjacent symbols and generates a re-drop.

Randomly, the Wild Strike feature activates, transforming random symbols on the grid into Wilds, Exploding Wilds, or Multiplier Wilds. 

There are standard, super, mega, and epic versions of all regular-paying symbols, spanning 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 positions. Each large symbol represents the same number of smaller symbols as the space it occupies. In other terms, the 3x3 and 4x4 symbols guarantee wins of 9 and 16 regular symbols, respectively.

When 3 standard Scatter Symbols appear in any position, 7 free spins are awarded. The Win Multiplier is not reset between spins, but instead increases for each cluster combination until the feature ends. The appearance of drop symbols, represented by the yin and yang symbol, grants 1, 2, or 3 additional turns. The feature concludes when the user has no more spins.
