• 4 rows: 4,096 ways to win
• 5 rows: 15,625 ways to win

Gameplay Features

• Dropping Symbols & Avalanche: Every win causes the symbols in the winning combination to explode. Remaining symbols fall down, shifting left and right before settling. Extra rows and new symbols are added at the top, up to a maximum of 8 rows. Avalanches continue as long as new winning combinations form in each symbol drop.
• Wild Symbol: The wild substitutes for all symbols except the bonus, super bonus, prism, and multiplier symbols. Wilds are not affected by prism transformations.
• Bonus Symbols: Both bonus and super bonus symbols that reach the leftmost column activate the bonus round. If a bonus symbol lands on the bottom row in columns 2 to 6, it drops to the left at the end of an Avalanche cycle, where possible.
• Multiplier Symbols: Any multiplier symbol reaching the bottom row or the leftmost column increases the current active multiplier before turning into a wild. The multiplier applies to all wins in the ongoing round. It resets at the start of each new round. Reaching the top of the multiplier pillar awards the remaining amount needed to reach the win cap.
• Prism Feature: Activated when a prism symbol lands at the bottom of the grid, or immediately if placed by Meteor Strike. This feature transforms symbols along random lines into the same payout symbol or wilds. If a prism beam hits another prism, a chain reaction transforms selected lines, with overlapping symbols turning into wilds. Feature symbols affected by the prism temporarily change for win evaluation, then revert back.
• Meteor Strike: Following a symbol drop or refill, Meteor Strike can randomly replace several payout symbols on the grid with feature symbols.

Bonus Game and Free Drops

• If a bonus or super bonus symbol reaches the leftmost column, the bonus game activates and 7 free drops are awarded.
• The current active multiplier at triggering is carried over into the bonus round and stays active throughout.
• The bonus game begins once no more winning combinations are present on the triggering drop.
• If, during the bonus game, a bonus symbol reaches the leftmost column, additional free drops are granted. An ongoing regular bonus game can be upgraded to a super bonus game if a super bonus symbol reaches the leftmost column, guaranteeing a Meteor Strike on every remaining free drop.
• Each new free drop starts with 4 rows and the current active multiplier, which remains active for the duration of the bonus.
• The bonus game ends when all free drops are used or the win cap is reached. Winnings are paid out following the conclusion of the bonus game.
