Wild Multipliers
The wild symbol in this slot is the chilli/hot pepper symbol, with a multiplier attached. Initially, the wild’s multiplier is determined by its level, which increases for every three wilds used in a tumble feature on the same spin. The game will choose a random level from 1 to 5, with the possible levels as follows:
Level 1 – 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11+ clusters = x1, x2, x4, and x8, respectively.
Level 2 - 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11+ clusters = x2, x4, x8, and x16, respectively.
Level 3 - 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11+ clusters = x4, x8, x16, and x32, respectively.
Level 4 - 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11+ clusters = x8, x16, x32, and x64, respectively.
Level 5 - 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11+ clusters = x16, x32, x64, and x128, respectively.
Free Spins
If you land three or more scatter symbols in a tumble sequence, you trigger 12 free spins. When the free spins bonus round is active, wilds generated by cluster wins are always at level 5 (as above) for the entirety of the round. You can extend the bonus round by five free spins if you land three more scatters in a tumble sequence.
