Three or more Bonus symbols trigger the Free Spins feature. Three award 8 Free Spins, extra triggering Bonus symbols add +2 each, and Bonus symbols appearing during the feature add +1 spin.
Land 3 or more Bonus symbols in the base game. The minimum three symbols award 8 Free Spins.
No separate choice game is required between the trigger and the start of the feature. The Free Spins counter starts with the amount determined by the triggering Bonus symbols.
Three Bonus symbols give the base award of eight spins. Each additional Bonus on the same trigger adds two more.
| Bonus symbols on trigger | Starting Free Spins |
|---|---|
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 10 |
| 5 | 12 |
This table illustrates the published rule. It is not a probability table.
The bonus retains the game’s central cluster and Collect & Multiply system. A qualifying cluster can still create a bag, trigger a respin sequence, absorb additional matching symbols and create additional compatible collections.
This is important because the bonus does not need a separate global multiplier to define its main gameplay. The same collection logic remains central.
Relax Gaming’s developer commentary says the reel sets were adjusted for the bonus while the core mechanic was retained. Public material does not provide exact symbol weights or probabilities for those reel sets.
It is accurate to say the bonus uses modified reel sets. It is not accurate to invent claims such as “specific gems appear X% more often” without the relevant math sheet.
Yes. Each additional Bonus symbol that lands while Free Spins are active adds +1 Free Spin. That differs from the initial trigger, where each Bonus beyond the first three adds +2.
For each Bonus symbol beyond the minimum three.
For each additional Bonus appearing in Free Spins.
Where permitted and enabled, the Buy Feature costs 100× the regular bet and guarantees at least three Bonus symbols plus entry into Free Spins.
The Buy Feature is activated from the base game. It changes how the feature is accessed; it does not guarantee a profitable outcome, a particular multiplier or recovery of the purchase cost.
A 100× purchase price describes cost relative to the selected bet. It is not a 100× payout promise.
The published theoretical RTP for the Buy Feature is 96.87%. The standard-game figure is 96.19%, a difference of 0.68 percentage points.
| Mode | Published theoretical RTP |
|---|---|
| Standard game | 96.19% |
| Bonus Buy | 96.87% |
A higher theoretical RTP does not make an individual purchased bonus predictable. See Midnight Marauder RTP, volatility and maximum win for the full explanation.
