The slot has 5 reels with 243 ways to win and comes with free spins and a gamble feature.

Special Features

The first feature worth mentioning is the Wild symbol and this is depicted by the Classic 243 logo. It is depicted by the word “Wild” within a bright yellow frame. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. It the highest paying symbol in the game and if you manage to land 5 of these symbols across the reels then you will be awarded 1,000 coins.

The Scatter symbol is denoted by the word “Free Spins” and if you land 3 or more of these symbols along the reels then you will trigger the Free Spins bonus game. In this feature, you will be given 10 free spins with 2-3 stacked Wilds on every spin. If you land 3 or more Scatter symbols inside this feature then you will be given 10 additional Free Spins. This feature is the main highlight of the game as there are ample opportunities for some big payouts if you use your Free Spins wisely along with the stacked Wilds.

The last feature to discuss is the Gamble game. This is triggered when you form a winning combination on the reels. It involves picking the correct glowing rectangle, if you choose correctly then your winnings will be doubled and you are given a maximum of 5 picks in this feature. Be sure to pick very carefully as if you pick the wrong rectangle then all of your winnings will be lost and you will be taken back to the main game.
