When a WILD symbol lands, it expands vertically to fill all positions on that reel. Random modifiers can be triggered on the extra horizontal reel above the main reels:

  • CASH PRIZE: Awards a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 20x, 50x, or 100x total bet.
  • MULTIPLIER: Awards a multiplier (x2, x3, x4, x5, x8, x10, x15, x20, x25, or x50) to all winnings in the same spin. Multipliers add together if more than one is present.
  • MAX WAYS: Increases the number of symbols on all reels to the maximum, maximizing win ways.
  • REPLACE NON WINNING SYMBOLS: Symbols that do not contribute to a win or to a WILD reel are replaced with random symbols before win evaluation.
  • EXTRA WILD REEL: An additional expanded WILD is added to one of reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 randomly. If a modifier is above this WILD, the corresponding modifier is awarded.
