Tiles and the Wild
The Wild is the red 飛 character and it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. The page prints no pay numbers for the Wild or the Scatter. It prints pay numbers for nine tile symbols, written as the count of symbols times the odds.
The table below shows the numbers for five, four and three matching tiles exactly as printed.
How 2,000 ways pay
Bet ways win if the winning symbols are in succession from the leftmost reel to the right. The total number of winning bet ways for each symbol is calculated by multiplying the number of adjacent winning symbols on each reel, starting from the leftmost reel. The page example: 1 x 3 x 2 = 6 ways, and 3 x 10 gives 10 x 6 = 60. The winning symbol payout is multiplied by the number of winning bet ways.
After the payout of every round, all winning symbols explode and the symbols above them cascade down for a new round. Additional winning combinations are tallied in every round until no more winning combination can be tallied. All wins are shown in credits.
Gold plated tiles
Gold plated symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. During any spin, some symbols (excluding the Wild and the Scatter) in reels 2, 3 and/or 4 may appear in gold.
At every new round, after the new symbols have cascaded down, any gold plated symbol that was involved in a win in the previous round is transformed into a Wild.
The multiplier above the reels
All wins are multiplied by the multiplier shown above the reels, starting with x1 in the first round. A win in the first round raises the second round's multiplier to x2, a win in the second round raises the third round's multiplier to x3, and a win in the third round raises the fourth round's multiplier (and beyond) to x5.
Free spins
3 Scatter symbols appearing anywhere trigger the Free Spins Feature with 10 free spins, and each additional Scatter triggers 2 more free spins. In the Free Spins Feature all symbols in reel 3 (excluding Wild and Scatter) appear in gold.
During the Free Spins Feature the multipliers above the reels are increased to x2, x4, x6 and x10 respectively. Free spins can be retriggered.
