This souped-up slot game has heaps of bonus action, starting with the Mighty Ways reel set.
The base game begins with a 5x4 grid and 243 paylines. Randomly, during any base game spin, the reels may expand upwards to reveal more symbols, up to 8 symbols high. This increases the paylines to 32,768 when all reels are fully expanded.
The reels return to their original formation once all wins have been paid out.
The wild is a glowing 2-position high knight, which substitutes for regular pay symbols to help you complete paylines and earn rewards.
Three or more bonus scatter symbols trigger the free spins bonus, awarding free spins as follows:
The bonus starts with a Super spins meter above each reel containing a random number between 2 and 10.
During the round, no random reel expansions happen; however, when one or more scatter symbols land, the reel they occupy expands by one row. An additional free spin is also awarded.
Once all free spins have been completed, the Super Spins bonus begins if any reels have been fully expanded.
Super Spins is played as above on a modified reel set where all suit symbols are removed from the reels. The meters above fully expanded reels award the number of Super Spins they contain.
You can toggle Premium Play on or off. Your stake is multiplied by 1.5x when activated, but wins are paid out at your original stake.
Any wins greater than 4x will trigger the Knight Times Bonus, revealing the bonus wheel. The wheel's outer ring contains various win multipliers between 1x and 5x and arrows pointing inwards towards an inner ring with between 6 and 15 free spins.
You are given one spin of the wheel. If it lands on a multiplier, the prize is awarded, and you return to the base game. If you land on an arrow, the inner wheel is activated, with a chance to win free spins.
The gamble feature allows you to gamble your winnings for boosted prize potential when the feature is activated. There are two meters, which you can play for a chance to increase your cash prize or unlock free spins.
