Game Features

Sticky Respins

Whenever you land a Wild in the base game, it will stick in place, activate its feature, and award a respin. This also applies to respins.

Landing extra Wilds does not award additional respins, so a spin cannot award more than one respin. However, the round can still have multiple respins if each new spin continues to award more feature wilds.

When a Wild sticks in place, it occupies that position for the rest of the round.

Bonus symbols cannot land during respins.

Wild Features

All the Wilds that can land are feature Wilds. There are 8 different feature Wilds in the game by default. Using the Extra Bet adds an additional one.

Tall Wild

When the Tall Wild activates, it will fill all the non-Wild spots in its column with Wilds.

Diagonal Wild

The Diagonal Wild randomly picks either the positive or the negative diagonal and fills the non-Wild spots with Wilds.

Big Wild

The Big Wild randomly picks the left or the right direction and then randomly picks either the top or bottom direction. It expands to a 2×2 area in the selected directions and fills the non-Wild spots with Wilds.

Random Wild

The Random Wild places between 2-4 Wilds randomly on the grid. It will always place the Wild symbols on top of non-Wild spots whenever there are non-Wild spots available.

Multiplier Wild

The Multiplier Wild places a random multiplier value on itself. Possible multipliers are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 100x. This multiplier stays on the Multiplier Wild symbol for the rest of the game round.

The Multiplier multiplies each win it is a part of by its value.

Cash Wild

The Cash Wild places a random payout value on itself. Possible payout values are: 1x, 2x. 3x. 5x, 20x, 100x. This payout value stays on it for the rest of the game round.

The Cash Wild awards its payout value whenever it is part of a win.

Row Expansion Wild

The Row Expansion Wild adds one more row to the Respins, up to a maximum of 7. More rows result in more active pay lines.

Column Expansion Wild

The Column Expansion Wild adds one more column to the Respins, up to a maximum of 7.

Mystery Wilds

Mystery Wilds are only available if Extra Bet has been activated. If you land any Mystery Wilds, you are guaranteed to land multiple ones. When they activate, another feature Wild is randomly picked and all Mystery Wilds convert into that one and follow that Wild’s activation mechanics.

Train Heist Bonus Game

Landing 3 or more Bonus Symbols in the base game triggers the Train Heist Bonus Game that is always played on a 7×7 grid. The Bonus Game uses a Multiplier Collect Feature with a Character Activator. You start with 3 lives, each spin uses up 1 life and landing a symbol anywhere on the screen restores the lives to 3. The Bonus Game ends when no lives are left. Whenever a symbol lands anywhere on the screen, it sticks in place and is kept for the rest of the Bonus Game, though other features might modify it.

Player Area

During the Bonus Game, the player area is defined by where the character can walk. The area where the character can walk is defined by where the feature symbols land and connect. Whenever a symbol connects either horizontally or vertically to any part of the player area, it becomes part of the player area.

All symbols in the Bonus Game have a value on them and at the end of the Bonus Game, the total value on all the symbols in the player area are added together and multiplied by the base bet to result in the total winnings from the Bonus Game.
