Maximum Win Limit

The maximum win in the game has an upper limit. For more information, see the Terms and Conditions section.


Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for 5 Wild symbols on a win line, as seen in the Paytable.


Lock & Spin mode

In addition to the normal spin mode, there is a Lock & Spin mode, which holds the Wild symbols on the reels and only changes the other ones.

If Auto Lock is enabled, all Wilds currently on the reels are held in place when using Lock & Spin. Any new Wilds which appear on the reels are automatically locked in place and kept during the subsequent spins.

Note: Auto Lock is enabled by default.

If Auto Lock is disabled, only the Wilds selected by the player will be carried forward in the Lock & Spin mode.

Auto Lock can be enabled/disabled from the Options menu in the lower left-hand corner of the game window.

Using Lock & Spin increases the chance of getting wins and the total stake in this mode is always higher than the total stake in the normal spin mode. The total amount you have staked will be shown in the Stake box above the Lock & Spin button and will vary depending on where the Wilds are on the reels. You can increase or decrease the cost of Lock & Spin by using the arrow buttons to the right of the Lock & Spin stake box.

The first time you use Lock & Spin a message will be shown asking if you are sure you want to make this bet as the stake is higher than the normal spin stake.

If the cost for the spin has gone up a lot compared with the normal spin then when you click on Lock & Spin a warning message will be shown asking if you want to continue.

If you click on Lock & Spin after you have chosen an Auto Play option, a message will appear saying that using Lock & Spin will turn off the Auto Play mode and asking if you want to continue.


Modifying Wilds

The player has the option to change any symbol into a Wild symbol. This is done by clicking on the symbol, which “locks” a Wild symbol in place.

When there are other Wilds in the spin results, they can also be unlocked (when Auto Lock is on) or locked (when Auto Lock is off) by clicking on them.

Locking the Wilds means that they will be held from one spin to the next, and only the other symbols will change when the reels are spun in the Lock & Spin mode.

A small padlock in the upper right-hand corner of the Wild symbol indicates that it is locked. If Auto Lock is enabled, the padlock is black. If Auto Lock is disabled, the padlock is red.

Each Wild will stay locked indefinitely until it is unlocked manually or the normal spin mode is used instead of the Lock & Spin one. To unlock a Wild manually, click on it. This will remove the Wild symbol from the reels.

Note: Using the normal spin mode does not keep the Wilds on the reels and changes all symbols.


Keeping your favourite Wild layout

The first time the Lock & Spin mode is used, a message will appear asking if you are sure you want to make this bet and giving you the option to only keep the selected Wilds in place by disabling the Auto Lock mode. This can be done by clicking on the checkbox. Any other Wild symbols that appear on the reels will not be kept if the Auto Lock mode is disabled.

If you have a favourite Wild layout and would like to use it repeatedly, you can save it as default. To save or load a default Wild layout, click on the Options button in the lower left-hand corner of the game window.


Free Spins

During the main game, meerkats appear occasionally at the bottom of the game window holding up letters. If 5 meerkats holding up the “B”, “O”, “N”, “U” and “S” letters appear after a spin, the Free Spins feature is triggered.

A message appears at the beginning of the feature saying that you have won 8 Free Spins. To start the feature, click on Start.

During Free Spins, the reels are spun automatically using the same stake per line as on the spin that won the feature.

All Wilds from the feature triggering spin will be locked and any new Wilds that appear during the feature will be automatically locked for the remaining free spins.

Note: New Wilds will be kept in place regardless of whether the Auto Lock feature is enabled or disabled.  

After each Free Spin, the Win field displays the number of win lines which have registered wins. The Total Win field shows the winnings from the current spin. The Free Spins Total field shows the accumulated winnings from all free spins played so far.

After all Free Spins have been completed a screen appears showing the accumulated winnings from all free spins. The overall amount you have won during the free spins will also be displayed in the Total Win field in the main game.

If the Free Spins are triggered during the Auto Play mode, the feature begins after the player clicks on Start. The Auto Play mode does not continue after all free spins have been played.

The theoretical percentage return to player (RTP) is 97.00%.
