Expanding Wilds
Embrace the Tumble Feature, a gameplay element that excels at replacing symbols involved in a winning line with fresh ones. In a surprising twist unique to this slot, the Tumble Feature introduces an escalating multiplier, applying to the total win of the tumble!
As for the Scatter, it not only rewards up to 100x the total bet but can also grant up to 20 Free Spins, complete with a multiplier that grows with each tumble. If Crystal Caverns Megaways isn't a feast of multipliers, then what is?
The TUMBLE FEATURE ensures that after each spin, payouts for winning combinations are made, and winning symbols descend to the bottom of the screen. Vacant positions are filled with new symbols cascading from above. The top bonus reel tumbles from right to left. New symbols match the size of the initial spin result before tumbles. Tumbling persists until no more winning combinations arise from a tumble. In the base game, each tumble raises the game multiplier by 1x, applying it to the current win in that tumble feature. The multiplier does not apply to scatter wins and resets to 1 after tumble features conclude.
Wilds do not naturally appear on reels but are introduced above the stop positions and subsequently expand. Wilds cannot land on Reel 1. Wild selection occurs only when there are no Scatters on the reels. Once at least one scatter appears, Wild selection is bypassed. During a tumble, only one additional Wild can land on the reels. The Wild takes the place of one of the new symbols cascading in. Since the top reel (row on the screen) doesn't expand the Wilds, the placement logic on reels 1 to 5 differs. In the base game or free spin before a tumble, each of the four reels has an equal chance of hosting the Wild. If the Wild should land during a tumble, the leftmost reel after the tumble is selected for the Wild's placement.
Scatters appear on all reels and pay based on the paytable multiplied by the total bet. Trigger the Free Spins round by landing 4 or more Scatters, starting with 12 spins for 4 Scatters and an additional 4 spins for each extra scatter on reels. In Free Spins, landing 3 or more Scatters adds 5 extra spins. The increasing multiplier remains active during Free Spins, continually growing without resetting after each spin. The multiplier resets to 1 after the Free Spins feature concludes.

About Expanding Wilds Games
Expanding Wilds is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a variation of the traditional wild symbol, where wild symbols can expand to cover an entire reel or even the whole game board.
When a player hits an Expanding Wild symbol, it will expand to cover the entire reel, or in some cases, the whole game board, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations. The expanded wild symbol can substitute for other symbols on the reels, and this feature can lead to multiple winning combinations in a single spin. Some games also have multipliers or other bonuses that are associated with the Expanding Wilds, making them even more valuable.
This game mechanic can be a great way to increase the chances of hitting winning combinations and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. It is a popular feature in online slot games and has been used by many game providers. Some of the most popular slot games with Expanding Wilds feature are "Starburst" by NetEnt, "Pirates Plenty Megaways" by Red Tiger Gaming, "Helloween" by Play'n GO and "Wild Chapo" by Relax Gaming.
