The bonus features in Le Digger start with the wild dynamite symbols that can substitute for pay symbols to help you create winning clusters and score paytable wins.
When a winning combo occurs, the involved pay symbols and all the same symbol type on the grid explode, removing one layer of the grid behind them. A new layer appears, and new symbols fill the empty spaces. This process continues until no new winning clusters are formed.
There are three layers to the game grid, which can have the following symbols:
After the grid has settled, there is a random chance that Smokey will throw a stick of dynamite or five onto the grid to blow up some symbols.
When dynamite lands, it removes a 2x2 square of symbols along with one grid layer. A new layer appears, and the empty spaces are filled.
When Smokey throws a dynamite stick that affects a wild dynamite symbol, the wild dynamite explodes, removing symbols and one layer in a 3x3 grid. This can activate chain reactions if other wild dynamites are in the affected area.
If new regular wins are created, there is also a chance that Smokey will add to the chaos by throwing more dynamite. FS symbols and Layer 3 cannot be affected by Smokey’s dynamite.
When Layer 3 is reached, those golden positions reveal special symbols when all regular wins and dynamite have been handled. Special symbols are either bronze, silver, gold, or diamond coins, and can also reveal collector symbols and green or gold clovers.
Prize coins have the following cash values:
After all golden positions have been revealed, the clover symbols will activate:
Green clovers multiply all coins or existing collectors on adjacent squares with one of the following: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20.
Gold clovers multiply all coins or collectors on the grid by one of the same multipliers.
The collector sacks are the last to activate and collect the values from all coins and other collectors on the grid. Once this is done, your coins and collectors are awarded.
Three scatters award ten free spins in the Tomb Service bonus. It starts with a bonus gamble to improve your bonus.
During the round, a dynamite collector is displayed. Each time a wild dynamite symbol is part of a win, it is collected. On the last free spin, the dynamite collector activates, and Smokey throws all collected dynamite onto the grid for one final explosion.
Landing two or three scatters awards two or four extra spins, respectively.
Four scatters unlock this bonus game with ten free spins. This bonus keeps the same mechanics as the base game, but includes a Blast Bar. Each time a symbol is removed from the grid by a win or by dynamite in layers one and two, the Blast Bar increases. When it fills, it activates and removes the lowest coin type that can be revealed for the next golden reveal and awards five extra free spins.
On the first activation, silver becomes the minimum coin, then gold, then diamond. Free spins scatters cannot land in this version of the bonus.
Hitting five free spins scatters in the base game triggers the Hidden Epic bonus. This game keeps the same mechanics as the base game, but this time Smokey is guaranteed to throw five dynamites onto the grid at the end of each free spin, when all dynamites have exploded, new wins and any golden reveals are handled. On golden reveals, coins will be silver, gold, and diamond.
