Wins on separate matching combinations are added. The paytable reflects the current bet configuration, based on the bet per matching combination.
Cascading and Collapsing
At the start of a game round, all symbols from the previous game round are removed from the grid and new symbols spin in.
When matching combinations occur, winning symbols are paid and removed, and all remaining symbols on the board Collapse downwards. Also, new symbols drop from the top of the screen to fill all available positions on the board, including unlocked rows.

Win Cap

Expanding Rows
The game features 3 rows at the bottom of the reels that are always active, and 3 locked rows above that can be unlocked. When a Cascade or an Instant Prize win occurs, the grid expands by 1 row. The maximum number of rows that can be unlocked is 3, increasing the total number of rows to 6. The rows expand from the lowermost locked row to the uppermost locked row.
At the start of a new game round, the reel set resets to its initial state.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol substitutes for all other Paying Symbols, except for the Mystery Symbol, Scatter Symbol, and Instant Prize Symbols.
Expanding Wild Symbol
The Expanding Wild Symbol can be revealed by the Mystery Symbols or land on the reels.
All positions that the Expanding Wild Symbol covers become Wild Symbols.
When the Expanding Wild Symbol lands during the Base Game or the Free Spins Feature, it will expand to cover the unlocked rows. When a reel with an Expanding Wild Symbol also contains a Scatter Symbol or a Golden Bamboo Symbol, these symbols will Cascade down after the matching combination is created.
If the Expanding Wild Symbol does not participate in a matching combination, it returns to its original state.
The Expanding Wild Symbol can have a Multiplier value attached to it. The possible values are: x2, x3, and x5.
Converter into Wild Symbol
The Converter into Wild Symbol can either be revealed by the Mystery Symbols or land on the reels.
When the Converter into Wild Symbol is revealed or lands, it will spin through the Paying Symbols that are on the unlocked rows of the current game round. When one of the Paying Symbols lands, all Paying Symbols of the same type will be converted into Wild Symbols, including the Converter into Wild Symbol itself.
When more than 2 Mystery Symbols land, up to 2 of them will reveal Converter into Wild Symbols, while the remaining Mystery Symbols will reveal the same Paying Symbol.
