How to Play

Each press of ‘Play’ creates a cascade of new symbols in the 7x7 grid. Each symbol has 4 active sides which can react to touching symbols.

Set Your Stake

The player can choose their stake by pressing the plus and minus buttons on the screen. The stake will be shown in the Total Stake meters. 

How do I win?

  • Each play creates a cascade of new symbols in the 7x7 grid. Each symbol has 4 active sides which can react to touching symbols vertically and horizontally only.
  • Any 5 or more symbols of the same kind connecting cause them to 'burst' and an award associated to that symbol, (specified in the Paytable in the menu), is paid to the player.
  • Any burst symbols disappear and further symbols to replace the vacant areas left by those burst symbols drop vertically into place. Any further symbols, 5+ of a kind or more will burst and the reaction will keep going with further symbols dropping down until there are no more 5+ of a kind touching symbols.
  • Only the highest win per reaction is paid.
  • Adjustment of the stake will dynamically alter the awards in the Paytable.

Free Falls Feature

  • During the main game play there will be, at random, Free Falls symbols within the 7x7 grid. If 3 or more Free Falls leaf symbols connect, they trigger the Free Falls feature.
  • This feature is similar to Free Spins in a normal slots game. This feature will be played out based upon the number of trigger symbols, (x3, x4, x5 and x6+). This will trigger 8, 10, 12 or 15 Free Falls respectively.
  • On trigger of the Free Falls feature, there will be free games played out without decrementing of the player’s balance. Any wins are awarded to the player. Furball bonuses cannot be incremented or triggered during Free Falls, however, Free Falls can be re-triggered.

Progressive Jackpot within Free Falls Feature

  • Progressive Jackpot: There is one Progressive jackpot. It can only be won via the Free Falls feature. During each spin a proportion of the money staked is added into the jackpot. The Jackpot will also have a base re-seed value (which contributes 0.25% to the RTP) and its seeded value is as follows: Progressive Jackpot: seeded at £5000.
  • After your final Free Fall, a Jackpot tree is displayed.
  • To win the Progressive jackpot, all seven letters need to fall from the tree and spell 'JACKPOT'.
  • The Progressive Jackpot consists of a fixed minimum amount which gradually increases by a percentage of funds inputted into the game until it is won. When a Jackpot is won, it is reset to the seed amount and begins to rise again.
  • The Progressive Jackpot is available in "Real Play" only.
  • Winning a Progressive Jackpot neither contributes to, or is affected by, the daily cumulative winnings limit.
  • All players contribute 1% of each bet placed to the Progressive on every game.
  • All players are eligible to win the Progressive Jackpot on every game.
  • It is not possible for two players to simultaneously win the jackpot. The Jackpot is locked when it is being won. This means that no other bets will be accepted for it and only one player at a time is able to win it.
  • In the event of a non-responsive game or problem during a draw, the game will repeat the incomplete draw and display the result to the player when the game is next launched.
  • In the event of equipment failure or planned/unplanned terminations, Progressive Jackpot parameters, (including Jackpot value and incremental percentage), are fully restored with identical parameters, after re-start.
  • System malfunction voids all pays and plays.

Furball Bonus Activation

  • During the main game, there are 6 different special Furballs, each representing the 6 Furball features. If one or more special symbols become part of a 5+ winning cluster, then the corresponding Furball feature pot is incremented. There are 20 incremental segments to fill a Furball feature bonus pot.
  • Once one of the Furball feature bonus pots is filled, then the corresponding Furball feature is triggered.
  • All wins from each bonus feature will be based upon your average stake.
  • Once a bonus feature has been played five times, the Furball will ‘level up’ and values awarded thereafter from that bonus feature will be improved.
  • There are four achievement levels which, in turn, increase the value of the feature.

Special Reaction Power Symbols

  • During the main game, there will be special reaction power symbols which will have no win value but are used for destroying Furballs on the grid as modifiers to create extra cascades to, hopefully, create further wins.
  • fur1 Virus Ball: Will react with any surrounding Furballs and may contaminate any touching symbols, spreading in any direction. These then disappear creating a cascade.
  • fur2 Energy Ball: Will react with ALL touching surrounding Furballs symbols. These then disappear creating a cascade.
  • fur3 Lightning Ball: This will destroy any Furballs horizontal and vertical as a cross on the grid creating a cascade.
