Bonus Features & Mechanics

Bonus mechanics center around collecting Silver and Gold Coin symbols that trigger various events atop the reels, including random awards or entry into the Hold & Spin round. This feature uses accumulated coin values and multipliers to increase potential payouts. For those interested in features with an Asian theme, Koi Falls: Flowing Fortune presents comparable bonus dynamics involving coin collection and feature triggers.

Tumble Feature for Consecutive Wins

After each spin, winning symbols vanish and new symbols drop down to fill gaps, potentially creating multiple consecutive wins in a single spin sequence. This continues until no new wins appear, enhancing your chances to accumulate payouts.

Coin Collection Feature Triggers Bonuses

Look out for Silver and Gold Coin symbols flying to the drums atop the reels. These coins can trigger random events including instant coin awards, multipliers, or the exciting Hold & Spin Feature, boosting your win potential.

Hold & Spin Feature Offers Big Rewards

When a coin lands on a drum, the Hold & Spin Feature activates, displaying collected coins with random money values or multipliers on the grid. This feature can significantly increase your winnings during the bonus round.

Tumble feature

Feature

After each spin, winning symbols disappear and the remaining symbols fall down. New symbols fill the empty spaces from above.

The tumble continues while new winning combinations appear. There is no limit to the number of tumbles.

The game adds all wins to your balance after every tumble from the base spin is complete.

Coin collection feature

Feature

Silver and Gold Coins can land on any reel and fly to their matching drum. Each Coin can trigger Hold and Spin, be collected, award a value or multiplier, or disappear without a prize.

Each drum stores up to 8 Coins, and stored Coins return with random money values when Hold and Spin starts. Collected amounts remain saved between spins.

Money awards range from 0.5x to 1000x the base bet, while multipliers range from x2 to x10. A multiplier applies to the current tumble sequence.

Hold & spin feature

Feature

A Coin hitting a drum randomly starts Hold and Spin on its matching grid. The Silver and Gold grids can also activate together.

Each active grid is 5x3 and accepts its matching Coins. The round begins with 3 respins, which reset whenever a Coin or Drum symbol lands.

Money Coins stay until the round ends, while multiplier Coins multiply the other money Coins and leave on the next respin. The round ends when no respins remain or all active grids are filled, then all visible Coin values are paid.
