Gamblers can directly change their total bet by pressing the plus and minus buttons on the left side of the reels. You can wager between $0.05 and $500 on each spin – one of the best betting spreads Playtech has ever offered.

Symbol designs range from the expected to the somewhat weird. There’s no central theme, so all the icons are kind of random. You’ll find gemstone hearts, buffalos and lions, a Mayan statue, a pyramid with a giant eye in the middle, and playing card royals. See what we mean with random?

The horseshoe is the bonus symbol used to activate the special feature. The star is the Wild icon.

To win, collect three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning icons must follow one of the active paylines or else the cash prize won’t be awarded.

To activate the bonus, collect six or more horseshoe symbols at the same time. Their cash prize will be granted, but more importantly, saved! So do your best to get a big win here, because it will be beneficial in the second part of the bonus.

During free spins, there’s a Star meter above the reels. Each time Wild lands, the meter increases by one. This also grants the cash prize you’ve won from the horseshoe icons again and grants an extra free spins.

The game has a medium variance and an RTP of 96.05%, which is above the current average.
