Expanding Reels
Each spin commences with 3 active rows, and with each cascade, an additional row becomes active, eventually reaching a maximum of 6 rows. A cascade can be triggered by a winning combination, an xBomb Wild explosion, or the Wild Mining feature. Winning symbols are rewarded and removed before initiating the subsequent cascade, causing all symbols to descend, creating space for new symbols to descend into.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols will activate the Lucky Wagons Spins feature, initially revealing 2, 3, or 4 rows of the reel area. Beginning with 3 spins, this feature resets to 3 spins whenever a coin lands within the reel area. All coin values are multiplied by the active bet. Throughout the Lucky Wagon Spins feature, the top row unveils enhancers for each spin, including coin values, multipliers, dynamites, bags, chests, or dwarves. An enhancer activates upon a coin landing on the reel beneath it.
An xBomb Wild symbol acts as a substitute for any symbol except bonus symbols. When an xBomb Wild detonates, it eliminates adjacent symbols except for bonus symbols and increases the win multiplier by one for the subsequent cascade. All xBomb Wilds detonate before the next cascade, unless the Wild Mining feature is triggered. An xBomb Wild will explode upon a win, regardless of its involvement in the winning combination. If there's no win, it will detonate and initiate a new cascade unless the Wild Mining feature is activated.
Wild Mining occurs in the base game when 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols align horizontally without forming a winning combination. Aligning 3, 4, or 5 symbols awards 1, 2, or 3 wilds respectively. All other positions above the bar explode, except for bonus or wild symbols, triggering a new cascade.

About Expanding Reels Games
Expanding Reels is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a feature that allows the reels to expand and increase the number of symbols on the screen, potentially leading to more winning combinations.
When a player hits a certain combination of symbols or triggers a bonus round, the reels will expand to add more symbols, increasing the number of ways to win. The expanded reels can also add new symbols to the game, such as wilds or multipliers, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations. Some games also feature special symbols that can trigger the expanding reels, such as scatter symbols or special bonus symbols.
This game mechanic can add an extra layer of excitement to the game by introducing a new way to form winning combinations. It also allows for more flexibility in terms of where the symbols can appear on the reels, which can make it easier for players to hit winning combinations. Expanding reels can be a great way to increase the chances of hitting big payouts and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. Some popular slot games that feature Expanding Reels include "White Rabbit" by Big Time Gaming, "Easter Island" by Yggdrasil Gaming, "Wild Falls 2" by Play'n GO and "Monster Blox" by Peter & Sons.
