Free spins are triggered when the Magic Hoop symbol appears anywhere on reels 2 and 4, at the same time – a random number of free spins are awarded.

During each free spin, one of the following will occur:

· one or more random symbols on the screen (except on reel 1) become wild, only if, by becoming wild a winning combination is formed

· a random reel, except reel 1, becomes wild, only if, by becoming wild, a winning combination is formed

· 4 adjacent symbols on the screen (except on reel 1) forming a 2x2 square become wild, only if, by becoming wild, a winning combination is formed

Note: During free spins, Bonus and Magic Hoop symbols are not transformed into wild.

During free spins, other free spins can be triggered; there is no limit to how many times free spins are re-triggered.

During free spins, the amount bet remains the same as the bet on the spin that has triggered the free spins and cannot be changed.

7. Paytable

To view the game rules and symbol explanations, tap the the Info button .

The 243 Ways pays from left to right, regardless of the symbol position on each reel.

The winning combination must start on the first reel and continue on the second reel and so on (any position); the symbols may be considered as acting like adjacent traditional Scatter symbols.

A way is made up of all symbols of the same kind that appear on adjacent reels, starting with reel 1 and ending at the reel on which a symbol of the same kind does not appear.

The length of a way is represented by the number of reels on which symbols that belong to that way appear. The minimum length is 3 reels and the maximum length is 5 reels.

The number of ways is determined by multiplying the total number of symbols of the same kind that appear on each of the reels of a way.

Example: On reel 1, there is 1 winning symbol, on reel 2 there are 3 winning symbols and on reel 3 there are 2 winning symbols, resulting in 6 ways: 1 x 3 x 2 = 6 ways.

The in-game paytable is calculated dynamically and lists the prizes for winning combinations, depending on the number of coins you bet and the coin value that you select and the base payout values displayed in the table below. All prizes shown in the in-game paytable are in Euros.

The payouts displayed in the in-game paytable are calculated as follows: coin value times coin bet (Bet 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) times base payout value for the winning combination (shown in the table below).

The base payout values for winning symbols for the length of a way are shown below:

Symbol	3 reels	4 reels	5 reels
	20	50	400
	10	50	100
	10	40	70
	5	20	30
	5	20	25
	5	15	25
	5	15	20
	3	10	20
	3	10	15

All winnings are paid from left to right.

Wins on different ways are all added.

The wins from Free Spins are added to the total balance.

Only the highest winning combination on each way is paid.

The amount bet in Euros is displayed in the Bet meter and is the coin bet multiplied by the coin value multiplied by the number of coins (25 coins).

Example: For a 5 coin bet (BET 5) and a 0.10 coin value, your total bet would be: 5 x 0.10 x 25 = 12.5 EURO.

The amount won in Euros is displayed in the Winnings meter and is the coin value multiplied by the number of ways multiplied by the gain in the paytable for the winning symbol for the length of the way.

Note: For example, if there are 6 ways, 1 winning symbol on reel 1, 3 winning symbols on reel 2 and 2 winning symbols on reel 3: 1 x 3 x 2 = 6 ways, the length of the way, in this case, is 3 reels – in the paytable, you can view the gain for 3 reels for the winning symbol.
