There are also symbols in the game that do not have their own coefficient. The first one is the pyramid temple. It performs the function of Wild and replaces any other image that is not enough for the combination. The second is the compass, which starts the bonus mode and applies an additional multiplier to the winnings.
If 3 or more compass images appear on the screen, free spins are awarded. Their number can be from 3 to 25. It is determined by the rotation of the compass arrow after the formation of the combination.
During the freespins apply the rules of the standard game and involved the rate that was set for the round, before which the bonus mode was launched. But there are differences - before each round in the free spins on the drums randomly drops an additional multiplier, which can be from x2 to x10. If there is a win in this spin, the multiplier will apply to it and increase the final payout.
If 2 or more compass images fall out during the bonus game, additional free spins are awarded. Their number is also determined by the rotation of the arrow. It is important that the remaining spins are not “burned”, but are summarized with new ones. Such an extension of the bonus mode can occur an unlimited number of times.
Simultaneously with the launch of freespins compass applies an increased multiplier to the payout that was made in the round before them. The value of the multiplier depends on the number of dropped bonus symbols.
