Features
- Crystal Ball Wild & Scatter. The crystal ball is the game's dual-purpose symbol: it substitutes as a wild in regular play and doubles as the scatter that unlocks the free spins round.
- Free Spins with Expanding Symbols. Three or more crystal balls award 8 free spins. Before the round begins, a symbol is chosen at random to become a special expanding symbol that stretches to cover whole reels.
- Retriggers up to 9 Times. Land more scatters during the bonus and the free spins can be retriggered as many as 9 times, with a fresh expanding symbol selected each time for stacked win potential.
- 5,000x Max Win. The expanding-symbol free spins drive the game's ceiling of 5,000x your stake, in keeping with its high-volatility design.
