Features

The golden Wild symbol can drop on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reel. When it does and can form a winning combination, it expands to fill the reel

However, the real action is in the Free Spins round (Eye of Horus-style one). To get there, you need to spin-in three or more Scatters, which will grant you 12 Free Spins.

Scatters are also a pay symbol, so 3, 4, or 5 Scatters will score you 2x, 20x, or 50x your bet, in that order.

The progressive Free Spins feature is based on symbol upgrades as you advance through the levels by landing the Wild symbols:

• 1 Wild - 1 level up, +1 FS
• 2 Wilds - 2 levels up, +3 FS
• 3 Wilds - 3 levels up, +5 FS

You always start the Free Spins on Level 1, and there are five more to go through if the Wilds hit right.

Starting with Level 2, all instances of the lowest HP symbol, the golden goblet, will turn into the dagger symbol. This sequence of transformation up the paytable can continue till Level 6, where you get only the John Hunters and the low-pays on the reels. For a screen full of John Hunters, the payout is 500x your stake.

If you land three or more Scatters inside the Free Spins round, 12 more FS are added.
