The Scatter and Super Scatter symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Three of these symbols trigger the Free Spins feature and pay 5x the total bet.

Mystery Symbol Feature

The Full Mystery symbol covers a full reel from top to bottom. All positions it covers transform into a random paying symbol or Money symbol.
Symbols transformed from the Full Mystery symbol pay according to their paytable, regardless of adjacency.
If Money symbols are revealed by the Full Mystery symbol and enough are on the screen, the Respin feature is awarded.

Respin Feature

The Money symbol takes a random value from a predefined set when it lands. These values in the base game are: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 30x, 50x, 75x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x or 5000x the total bet, or the chance to hit Free Spins or Super Free Spins.

Six or more Money symbols anywhere on the screen trigger the Respin feature. Normal symbols fade away and only Money symbols remain. The game then respins with Money symbols and blanks as possible hits. Each Money symbol that lands stays in place until the round ends. The round begins with three respins; each new Money symbol resets the respins to three. The round ends when there are no respins left or the screen is filled with Money symbols.

At the end, the amount of all Money symbols shown is added together and paid out. If the round ends with a fully filled screen, an additional 2000x total bet is awarded. Money values with the value of Free Spins or Super Free Spins award the respective round at the end of the Respin feature.

Free Spins

Three Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins round. Before the round starts, one symbol or the Money symbol is randomly selected as the Mystery symbol for the round.

If two Scatter symbols and a Super Scatter symbol are hit, the Super Level Free Spins feature is triggered, where the Mystery symbol is always the Money symbol.

  • A, K, Q, J as Mystery Symbol: Bronze level round
  • Scroll, Ink Bottle, Telescope as Mystery Symbol: Silver level round
  • Globe or Hourglass as Mystery Symbol: Gold level round
  • Money Symbol as Mystery Symbol: Super level round

Before the round, players can gamble to increase the value of the Mystery symbol or the round level, or collect the current Mystery symbol and start the round. When gambling, a book turns and stops on a symbol, level, or blank. Stopping on a symbol or level increases the value or level; stopping on a blank ends the round.

Chance to win each gamble depends on the current Mystery symbol and round level. Gambling can be done up to the Super Level or the Money symbol as the Mystery symbol.

Free Spins Round Progression

The round starts when the current Mystery symbol is collected or the maximum level is reached. During Free Spins, Full Mystery symbols nudge to fill positions and all reveal the selected Mystery symbol.

In the Super level, if enough Money symbols trigger the Respin feature via Full Mystery symbols, the feature is immediately awarded.

Scatter symbols collected during the feature are stored in a meter. Every four Scatters collected while in a Bronze/Silver/Gold level increases the round to the next level, randomly awards a new Mystery symbol, and gives two extra Free Spins. In the Super level, the Money symbol is awarded as Mystery and two extra Free Spins are given each time.

Special reels are active during this feature.

Maximum Potential Win

The maximum potential win is limited to 5,000x the bet. If the win in a round reaches 5,000x, the round ends, the win is awarded, and all remaining features are forfeited.
