If the ring lands on position 2, all reels will turn into wild reels whenever you land a wild symbol thereby increasing your chances of getting a blackout win and in the process hitting the game’s jackpot of a 15,000x multiplier – how awesome is that!
If the ring lands on position 3, you will receive a random prize for every wild symbol or gem that lands on the reels.
