Bonus Features
Wild Symbols
Wilds substitute for all symbols except the bonus symbol. Robber symbols are Wild and appear in the base game, Fortune Spins and Big Money Bonus. Cop symbols are Wild and only appear in the Big Money Bonus.
Bonus Symbol
The bonus symbol is available on all reels in the base game. Three or more bonus symbols landing anywhere in view will trigger the bonus. Three in any position awards the Big Money Bonus with a 1X starting multiplier. Four in any position awards the Super Big Money Bonus with a 2X starting multiplier. Five in any position awards the Mega Big Money Bonus with a 3X starting multiplier.
Big Money Bonus
A progressive trail will appear above the reels. The available multipliers that can be obtained via the trail are 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, 8X and 10X. The first multiplier on the trail is 2X. This is located at position six on the trail, with each additional multiplier increasing every three positions until reaching 10X. The maximum multiplier that can be obtained via the trail is 10X. Upon reaching a multiplier on the trail, all subsequent presents collected by the Santa robber will be multiplied. Santa robber symbols add to the trail and act as a cash collector. The presents values will be collected for each Santa robber symbol that lands on the reels.
Cop symbols progress the cop along the trail. If multiple cop or Santa robber symbols land in view, each will progress one position on the trail for each symbol that lands on the reels. Cop and robber symbols act as Wilds. The feature ends when the cop catches the robber and is identified during the ID parade. The values on the presents can be 1X, 2X, 5X, 10X, 25X, 50X, or 100X the active stake.
ID Parade
When the Santa robber is caught during the Big Money Bonus, they will be taken to the ID Parade. Three characters will appear, and a short dapple will take place, randomly highlighting each character before stopping on one and awarding one of the following outcomes:
Bert – the Bonus terminates awarding any accumulated winnings.
Sid – the cop is pushed back two positions, and the Bonus continues.
Vic – the robber runs ahead to the next multiplier trail and the Bonus continues.
Fortune Spins
As an alternative to spinning the normal reels, a different base game can be chosen. This can be played by switching ‘on’ the Fortune Spins feature via the switch presented on the graphic. All symbols will be removed from the reels with exception to the presents, bonus symbols and the robber. The robber will be unlocked, acting as a Wild and cash collector.
If the robber and presents appear on the reels at the same time, the presents value will be collected. The present values will be collected for each robber symbol that lands on the reels. Fortune Spins can be played at any stake. The values on the presents can be 1X, 2X, 5X, 10X, 25X, 50X, or 100X the active stake.
Gamble
The gamble can be configured to be on, on if the win is greater than or equal to 5x stake, or off. If the gamble is on, any winning awarded during the game will offer the gamble feature. If the gamble is on and if the win is greater than or equal to 5X stake, any winnings greater than or equal to 5X stake awarded during the game will offer the gamble feature. When the gamble is entered, two wheels are presented. The left wheel offers the chance to increase the winnings by one third, double the winnings or triple the winnings.
The right wheel offers the chance to gamble for the Big Money Bonus, Super Big Money Bonus or Mega Big Money Bonus. The win value can be adjusted by pressing the ‘-’ and ‘+’ arrows, this in turn will adjust the winning and losing segments of the wheel. Press either wheel during the feature to gamble your winnings and spin the pointer. If the pointer stops of the green segment, the cash value of Free Spins is awarded. If the pointer stops on the red segment, the player loses their winnings and exits to the base game. When the potential losing area of the gamble wheel is at its minimum size, the chance of success could be significantly less than the visual representation shown.
Winnings can be gambled up to a maximum win amount of 2,500X the stake. Once the maximum win amount is reached, winnings are automatically collected, and the gamble will be exited. The maximum that can be achieved via the Free Spins gamble is the Mega Big Money Bonus. Once this is reached, the Big Money Bonus wheel is disabled, while the player is still able to gamble on the Cash wheel. Press the ‘collect’ button during the feature to collect winnings. The expected payback for the gamble game is 100%.
