The minimum stake is $0.20, while high rollers can go up to $125 per spin. Use the circular arrow button to spin manually, or enter autoplay mode to choose a number of automated spins.

During this round, any WILD that lands will stick in place and carry a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5. If more than one multiplier is part of a win, they multiply together. The bonus can retrigger via Scatter Overlays, which randomly land and award 2 to 6 extra spins.
