Click the BET MAX button to spin the reels with the maximum number of paylines.

Click theTURBO MODE button to switch Turbo Mode on or off. When turned on, some win animations and sounds are skipped and the reels spin faster.

Clicking the SPIN button or pressing the Spacebar key spins the reels with the currently selected total bet. During the reel spin the SPIN button changes into the STOP button. Clicking the STOP button or pressing the Spacebar key ends the spin animation and immediately displays the spin result.

Reels can also be spun using the Auto play function. Mouse over the AUTO PLAY button to display the list of options.

- Click on an option to start the Auto Play function. During Auto Play mode the AUTO PLAY button displays the number of auto spins left.

Once the feature has ended you will be automatically returned to the main game or the Autoplay session will resume (if there are any auto spins left to play).
The paytable can be accessed via the INFO button or the Menu.

ABOUT PAYOUTS

Wins are calculated according to the Paytable, which can be accessed via the Menu.
Line win = line bet × corresponding multiplier according to the paytable.
If more than 1 active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up. If 2 winning combinations occur on the same line, you will be paid the value of the higher winning combination. Winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive along a payline.
The accumulating winnings and all payline wins are shown for each winning spin. In the case of large wins, a Win popup opens displaying the total spin revenue.

WILD SYMBOL

The WILD symbol in the game is the Red Crystal W symbol.

The WILD symbol appears on all reels and can substitute for any other symbol to make the best possible winning combination. There is a separate payout for 3 or more WILD symbols on an active payline, as seen in the paytable.

The WILD symbol also participates in the Upgrading Wild feature. More information about the Upgrading Wild feature can be found below.

UPGRADING WILD FEATURE

The WILD symbol substitutes for all other symbols. The WILD symbol also upgrades the payout for any winning combination in which it participates (by substituting for another symbol) to the next highest-paying symbol.

The Upgrading Wild feature cannot create any new winning combinations. Symbol payouts featuring only WILD symbols will not be upgraded.

The Upgrading Wild feature can be triggered during both the main game and during the Crystallization Respin feature.

CRYSTALLIZATION RESPIN

The Crystallization Respin feature is triggered when the Orange Crystal symbol lands on the hotspot in the middle of reel #3 during the main game.

When the Crystallization Respin feature is triggered, the reels are spun again for free. All symbols on the reels are upgraded to the next highest-paying symbol – with the exception of WILD symbols, which do not upgrade. A symbol chart, showing the symbols currently in play, appears above the reels and new hotspots appear on every symbol position on reels #2, #3 and #4.

If an Orange Crystal symbol lands on a hotspot during the respin, another free respin is triggered. During this respin, and any subsequent respins, all symbols are upgraded again, to the next highest-paying symbol (with the exception of WILD symbols). Any hotspots that triggered the respin are removed from the reels.

Respins continue in this way until there are no Orange Crystal symbols in hotspots, or there are no hotspots left. When this happens, the player is returned to the main game; all upgraded symbols will revert to their original form and a single hotspot will sit in the middle of reel #3.

During the Crystallization Respin feature, the reels are spun with the same number of active paylines and line bet as the triggering spin. Triggering the Crystallization Respin feature guarantees a win of at least 1× the total bet. The Upgrading Wild feature can be triggered on any Crystallization Respin.
