Game Features and Special Symbols

Expanding Wild Reels

During gameplay, when a Treasure Chest symbol appears, it can transform into a Wild Reel if expanding would result in a win. Once expanded, the Wild Reel fills the entire reel and displays one of three possible characters: Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King. Each character determines a distinct multiplier range, with increased potential as follows:

  • Octopus: possible multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, or 9x.
  • Mermaid: possible multipliers are 10x, 15x, or 20x.
  • Ocean King: possible multipliers are 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x.

The revealed character’s multiplier applies to the entire expanded Wild Reel, impacting all winning combinations it contributes to. If two or more Wild Reels are involved in the same win, their multipliers add together before boosting the prize. Each spot on a Wild Reel acts as a Wild symbol and replaces any symbol found in the paytable.

Treasure Chest symbols may land on any of the five reels, but only one may land per reel at a time.

Special Wild Symbol

The WILD symbol substitutes for all symbols in the paytable, helping to create winning combinations.

Bonus Game Mechanics

Deep Blue Bonus Game

Trigger the Deep Blue Bonus by landing three FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, which awards 10 free spins. Within this feature, every Treasure Chest symbol that lands will always expand to become a Wild Reel, no matter if it forms part of a win. Expanded Wild Reels may display between 0 and 3 lives, remaining sticky for subsequent spins while lives remain. At the start of each spin, each sticky Wild Reel loses one life, and its multiplier is randomly reassigned from any of the three character tiers.

If, on the final free spin, at least one Wild Reel still has one or more lives, the Last Chance feature activates. This awards free respins, continuing the feature until no Wild Reels with lives remain. During Last Chance, Treasure Chest symbols can create new sticky Wild Reels, possibly with lives, though the number of lives will not exceed those of existing Wild Reels. The feature concludes when all spins are played and no sticky Wild Reels with lives are left.

Additional free spins can be collected during the bonus by landing FS scatter symbols:

  • Landing 2 FS symbols grants 2 extra spins.
  • Landing 3 FS symbols grants 4 extra spins.

Down Under Bonus Game

Unlock the Down Under Bonus by landing four FS scatter symbols at once in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. This bonus functions as the Deep Blue Bonus but with an added benefit: each sticky Wild Reel's tier will never decrease below the initial tier revealed when it was created. Multiplier values are randomly chosen within the assigned tier for each new spin.

Extra spins may be awarded in the same manner:

  • 2 FS symbols award 2 additional spins.
  • 3 FS symbols award 4 additional spins.

Hidden Treasures Bonus Game

The Hidden Treasures Bonus is triggered by landing five FS scatter symbols together in the base game, resulting in 10 free spins. It follows the rules of the Down Under Bonus, with an added guarantee: there will always be two active expanded Wild Reels on the grid throughout the feature. This ensures heightened frequencies for Wild Reel action during each spin.

The opportunity for extra free spins remains available:

  • 2 FS symbols award 2 additional spins.
  • 3 FS symbols award 4 additional spins.
