BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
The game only has the wild and scatter features, but both of them can help you win more coins.
Here are the two special or feature symbols and how they work:
- Wild – this is the god Apollo, and it acts as a substitute. Sometimes, you may be missing only one symbol. If the wild is in that position instead of the symbol you needed, the wild will substitute for it to create a winning payline.
If the wild was used to create a winning combo, the pay for that combo is doubled. The wild also has a payout of its own, but you must land them like you would for ordinary symbols to win coins.
The prizes are:
- 5x – 9,000
- 4x – 2,000
- 3x – 200
- 2x – 10
- Scatter – the scatter symbol is the gold coin that awards free spins. Landing three of it anywhere on the grid awards 15 free games. All wins during the free games are tripled.
The scatter also has coin prizes as shown below:
- 5x – 400
- 4x – 20
- 3x – 5
- 2x – 2
All scatter coin prizes are multiplied against your total bet, while the wild prizes are multiplied against your bet per line.
