Splitting Symbols
The Collector activates whenever a Jumping Wild animal is in action. Each Collector is visually linked to its corresponding Jumping Wild by color and type. Whenever a car is halted by the Jumping Wild, the corresponding Collector value increases by 1. Upon reaching a count of 5, the Collector triggers the upgrade feature, enhancing its associated Jumping Wild based on its type. When the upgrade feature activates, a regular heart is upgraded to an armored heart from the left side of the heart list. If any heart is missing, an armored heart is added from the left side of the heart list instead. The Collectors counter is removed once the cap is reached.
Papa Bear, Fred The Rabbit, and Deer Joe serve as Jumping Wilds, relocating to a random position within the Battle Area (reels 2, 3, and 4) between rounds.
Hilly and Billy Cars become active when animals are present and only trigger between spins. There are two car types: Green - Hilly’s Car (1 Hit point) Always appears first in each round. Requires one hit to stop. Red - Billy’s Car (2 Hit points) Appears every fifth round during Team Assemble or in every round during Junkyard Assault. Requires two hits to stop. When a car enters play, it traverses the reel area from the right side, starting at a random row. If a Jumping Wild obstructs the car, one hit point is deducted. If the hit points reach zero, the car stops. If the car traverses the area from right to left without interruption, it selects a random row and begins traversal from the left side. A successful round trip either damages an armored heart or removes a regular heart, starting from the right on the heart list. The feature ends when there are no hearts remaining.
Roadblock activates after accumulating a total of 20 hits, becoming enabled for the next spin. The feature begins by restoring any regular hearts and transforming all Jumping Wilds to occupy entire rows within the Battle Area. Upon activation, Hilly and Billy cars enter play, striking one row each randomly and triggering a feature based on the row hit: Top - Adds a random Wild on reel 5. Middle - Splits all rows on Reel 5. Bottom - Doubles the size of the 3x3 Wild. This sequence remains consistent, with each row capable of being hit twice. Once both cars are stopped, all three rows merge into a single 3x3 Wild, covering the entire Battle Area. After payouts are completed, the 3x3 Wild splits back into Jumping Wilds, and the Total Collector resets to 0.
Upon the full visibility of a high-paying symbol on any of the initial three reels, a mechanism is set into motion, wherein segments of the same symbol situated on other reels undergo a nudging process to achieve complete visibility. With each nudge, a multiplier experiences an incremental rise of +1 atop the symbol. These multipliers amalgamate and subsequently amplify the symbol's win in accordance with the designated payout table.
Manifesting as a Wild symbol spanning three rows in height, it unfailingly nudges and extends to cover the entire reel, escalating the win multiplier by +1 for each nudge. Preceding the payout phase, the Wild multiplier interacts with all other active multipliers contributing to a winning outcome. Exceptionally versatile, the Wild symbol serves as a substitute for all symbols excluding the Scatter symbols, and is capable of landing solely on reels 2 through 4.
The appearance of two Scatter symbols initiates a respin, activating Enhancers, while concurrently transforming both Scatter symbols into Overlay Multipliers of x2 and x3 respectively, functioning as delineated in the Enhancer segment.
Upon the landing of three Scatter symbols, a bounty of 9 free spins ensues, accompanied by the activation of Enhancers. Concurrently, the Scatter symbols morph into Overlay Multipliers of x2, x3, and x4 respectively, adhering to the principles outlined in the Enhancer segment. Post-spin, the multiplier values revert to their initial state. Additional Scatter symbols elevate the Scatter mode to B.I.G. Vegas$ Spins, augmenting the spin count by 2 for each subsequent Scatter symbol, while transforming into Overlay Multipliers of x5 and x6 respectively, which remain effective throughout the remaining free spins.
Should the fortuitous landing of 4 or 5 Scatter symbols materialize, the reward is elevated to 11 or 13 free spins respectively. Enhancers spring into action, and the Scatter symbols metamorphose into Overlay Multipliers of x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6 respectively, adhering to the principles elucidated in the Enhancer section on the subsequent page, with the multiplier values retaining their cumulative status throughout the duration of the feature.
