Modifiers

Modifiers appear above the playing field and are called Toppers. They slide 1 spin to the left on each spin. There are 4 different functions available and they are randomly charged with energy. As they appear, modifiers start at 0 energy, and each requires a different amount of energy to activate. Once triggered, they will be available after starting the spin until they reach the leftmost reel and leave the playing field. In this game, you can get the following modifiers.

Double Reel

To activate, you need 4 energies. It increases the height of the lower reel to 6 symbols and also increases the number of paylines. With 5 double reels activated, the maximum number of ways is 7,776.

Multiplier

It takes 5 energies to activate. This modifier chooses a random 2x-10x multiplier that is applied to all wins that hit the symbols from the reel below, and the multiplier changes to a different one every shift. The multipliers can be added together and create large multipliers.

Wild

It is activated as soon as you receive 6 energies. A special Wild symbol is placed randomly on the reel below.

Expanding Wild

To charge the last modifier, you need to collect 7 energies. All symbols on the reel below turn into Wild symbols.

Free Spins

As you spin the reels in the base game, pay attention to the Scatter symbols that can appear anywhere on the playing field. When you land 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols in sight, you will receive free spins, before which the mini Pick game will open.

This game will give you 20 shields to choose from, each of which can display a random modifier. After selecting 5, they will become permanent for the feature, and you will go to 10 free spins.

During free spins, modifiers are activated in the same way as in the base game and remain active until the end of the feature. On the 10th free spin, all features are activated. You can get extra free spins by landing 3 or more Scatters on the playing field during free spins. This will bring you 10 extra free spins.

Guys, if you feel not ready to play for real money or want to test the game before, try its demo mode. You can find it right on this page! Just start the game and place your bets with fun coins instead of real money.

So, 12,150x is the winning limit for this slot machine. This is a lot of potential for a high volatility slot and luckily it doesn't seem far-fetched to us. You can easily get this top prize thanks to the modifiers in the extremely lucrative free spins feature. Good luck!

With many modifiers available on every spin, this is definitely an interesting game that can keep your attention for hours. Random Multipliers, Wilds, Expanding Wilds, and game board expansions can lead to very nice prizes on any spin of the base game, and things only get better during the free spins! The provider has also put a lot of effort into the design and mathematical model, so this release is great both on and below the surface.
