Features in this game
- Megaways: A ways-to-win mechanic where the number of symbols on each reel changes every spin, so the count of winning ways changes too.
- Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.05% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.95%, so every £100 staked costs £3.95 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.90, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as 5 of 5. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.

Notes on the data: Release month: Gambling.com gives 14.09.2021 and Quickspin's game sheet sits in a September 2021 upload folder; Quickspin calls it one of its 2021 highlights but gives no day, so only the month is used.
