Upon triggering Free Spins, players are given the choice to gamble for additional spins or accept the current amount and commence the Free Spin session. Upon successful gambling for extra spins, players may continue to gamble or commence the session. Failure in the gamble results in the forfeiture of the entire Free Spins session. Take a chance to earn up to 12 Free Spins for enhanced opportunities to win big... if you dare?
Free Spins can be triggered either by landing 3 or more Bonus symbols on a single spin or by activating the Win Streak and subsequently landing 3 or more Bonus symbols. Each appearance of a Bonus symbol is collected, increasing the likelihood of triggering the Bonus. The Win Streak remains active during Free Spins. Whenever a Free Spins symbol appears, the lowest paying symbol is removed from the reels, granting an additional free spin and improving the feature with each occurrence!
Following any win, the winning symbols are held in place, and any matching symbols are locked, while the blocker symbol above is removed to create space for more symbols, thereby opening up additional winning opportunities. A respin is awarded, offering further chances to win BIG!
In this game, there are no predefined lines or patterns. Instead, winning occurs when six or more identical symbols form a cluster, meaning they're adjacent to each other. Once a player lands a cluster, all instances of that symbol (even those not in the cluster) remain, while losing symbols vanish from the reels. If another cluster appears with different symbols, it's treated as losing symbols. The winning symbols then descend, and new random symbols fill the vacant positions.
This cycle continues until no new winning symbols appear, at which point the win is awarded. If there are two or more different winning clusters initially, the lower-paying winning symbols transform into the highest-paying ones, regardless of cluster sizes. For clusters with symbols of equal value (card suits), their hierarchy is Hearts, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds.
Completing a row with winning symbols grants the player a win multiplier. These multipliers apply to each Dropdown win separately and reset at the end of each spin (except in Free Spin mode). Finding three Scatter symbols in a single spin (which can be spread across multiple Dropdowns) grants seven Free Spins. Free spins begin with a x1 multiplier in the top left corner. All achieved multipliers are combined and applied to each Dropdown win throughout the entire Free Spin session. Additionally, for each Free Spin session, one random Pirate is chosen as the high-paying symbol (replacing all other high-paying symbols). A 3x3 high-paying symbol can land, guaranteeing a win or enhancing the current Dropdown win. The Cannon Blast occurs on a losing spin in the base game or during Free Spins, removing all low-paying symbols from the reels and initiating a new dropdown. The Tsunami activates when there are at least six winning symbols on the reels and the player experiences a losing Dropdown. At this point, all losing symbols are removed, the winning symbols are leveled to increase the potential multiplier, and new symbols drop down.
Blood Moon Wilds presents players with a captivating Video Slot experience, boasting 5 reels and 20 paylines arranged from left to right. Within the game, eight regular symbols offer rewards when three or more align in consecutive order on a payline, commencing from the leftmost reel. Additionally, there's a Free Spin symbol that triggers Free Spins when three or more land anywhere on the reels, along with the exclusive Werewolf wild symbol, obtainable solely through special features.
Adorning the apex of the slot machine is a Lunar Calendar, indicating the current phase of the moon within the game. During a Full moon phase, all high-paying symbols on the reels transform into ferocious Werewolf wilds. In the Free Spins mode, the Full moon dissipates, replaced by multiple blood moons. When the Lunar Calendar displays a blood moon, high-paying symbols visible on the reels shift into wilds, reverting the moon to its original state. These wild positions persist as the reels spin, heightening the likelihood of encountering wild symbols once more.
In this game, there are no traditional paylines or ways to win. Instead, victory is claimed when 6 or more identical symbols form a cluster, meaning they are adjacent to each other on the reels. Once a cluster is formed, all instances of that symbol remain while the rest disappear, allowing for new symbols to cascade into place. This process continues until no new winning clusters appear, at which point the winnings are awarded.
If multiple winning clusters are present, the lower-paying symbols are transformed into the highest-paying ones, with priority given to the symbol observed earliest from the leftmost reel.
Achieving a row filled with winning symbols grants a win multiplier, which is applied to each subsequent cascade. These multipliers are reset at the end of each spin, except during the Multiplier Madness Free Spin mode.
Collecting 3 map symbols in a single spin triggers 7 Free Spins. Any additional map symbols that land on the reels award an extra 10 times the bet each.
Players can choose from 3 different Free Spin Modes: High Seas: Removes all low-paying symbols (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) from the reels. Multiplier Madness: Summons all achieved multipliers to the top of the reels, applying them to each cascade throughout the Free Spin session. The Multiplier counter begins at 1. Win Fall: Adds 2 winning symbols to the reels at the start of each cascade. To trigger the next cascade, at least one new cluster symbol must appear in the normal drop-down.
Each time the Werewolf preys on the innocent on the reels, a Wolf Hunter steps forward with the opportunity to transform the Wolf symbol into a wild one. Upon success, the wild remains fixed for an extra respin, filling at least two of the three collections – the primary Werewolf collection and one of the two Hunter’s collections.
The game features three Free Spins modes – the standard mode is accessible by landing two Free Spin scatters simultaneously on the reels, while the other two can be unlocked by completing collections. In the standard Free Spins mode, a Hunter confronts the vile werewolf, increasing the likelihood of transforming those symbols into wilds and granting an additional chance to activate the hunters’ special abilities of spreading wilds. Hunter Free Spins commence once either of the Hunter collections has been completed with the respective hunter’s special ability already activated. Completion of the main werewolf collection triggers Slayer Free Spins where Wolf symbols always transform into wilds, practically ensuring players depart the battle scene with remarkably substantial wins! Arm yourself with your most gleaming silver bullets and deadliest monster-traps and enlist in the pursuit of that monstrous prize in Wolf Hunters!
The Werewolf stands as the highest paying symbol and can land on any reel. Upon landing, a random Hunter endeavors to strike it; if successful, the Werewolf symbol morphs into a sticky wild and grants 1 respin (only 1 respin can be awarded per spin). If the Hunter fails, the Werewolf symbol functions as a regular high-paying symbol. Each successful hit on the Werewolf decreases its life total by 1. Slayer Free Spins are triggered when the Werewolf's life total reaches 0/600. The Werewolf's health is retained between gaming sessions.
Each time the Werewolf appears on the reels, one random Hunter attempts to assail it. A successful strike awards that Hunter +1 Rage point. When either Hunter accumulates 100 rage points, they initiate their Free Spin mode. Upon initial game loading, a random Hunter receives 70 free Rage points, and the other receives 30 Rage points. Rage points persist between gaming sessions.
Every spin where a wild symbol lands triggers a respin with all wilds held in place (Wilds obtained from victorious Werewolf battles are included. Once all reel positions are filled with wilds, no further respins are granted). Wilds substitute for all regular symbols and feature in both the base game and all Free Spin modes.
Both Hunters boast a significantly increased chance of prevailing in their battles during all Free Spin modes. Additionally, there is a bonus collection in Free Spins that can enhance one or both Hunters.
If only one of the Hunters is enhanced during a Free Spin mode, the Werewolf always confronts the enhanced one. If both the Hunter and Huntress are enhanced, then the Werewolf battles against either the Hunter or Huntress randomly.
Free Spins are triggered by landing 2 Bonus symbols in a single spin in the base game. Players receive 10 Free Spins with the potential to trigger additional Free Spins. Free Spins are played with the same bet and lines as the activating spin. All subsequent Free Spins are played with the average bet used throughout the collection.
Accumulating 100 Hunter or Huntress Rage points awards 10 Hunter Free Spins. In Hunter Free Spins, the enraged Hunter is upgraded for the entire Free Spin session and does not accumulate any more Bonus symbols. The enraged Hunter’s rage collection resets once it reaches 100.
Reducing the Werewolf's health bar to 0 grants 10 Slayer Free Spins. Slayer Free Spins feature no Bonus symbols, and all Werewolf symbols are substituted with expanding wilds on the reels. The Werewolf’s health bar resets once its life total reaches 0.
