Gameplay
The Power Reel is an additional reel located at the base of the grid; it triggers after landing 2 scatter symbols awarding a respin. The power reel has 4 positions and can only contain blue and red tiles or blanks. Landing a blue tile adds a locking wild to the reel above and a red tile places a dropping wild on the reel above.
The locking wilds only land in the Power Reels feature and award 2 respins. When it lands it remains sticky and on each respin the wild moves to the adjacent reel and eventually drops off the reels. It can also land with a multiplier the same as the dropping wild.
Dropping wilds appear randomly or through the Power Reels feature. If they land in the Power Reels feature they are positioned in the top spot of the respective reel. The dropping wilds drop down a position on every spin or respin, until they eventually disappear off the grid. Dropping wilds have various multipliers attached from 1x up to 10x.
If a dropping wild overlaps another dropping wild the multiplier increases for the next spin.
The free spins are triggered after landing 3 shield scatters on a single spin awarding up to 10 free spins. The Power Reel is active during the feature, and each locking wild landing awards anther 2 free spins.
