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.
  • Mystery symbols: Blank or question-mark symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen symbol after the reels stop.
  • 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 96.43% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.57%, so every £100 staked costs £3.57 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.14, 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.
