There can be 3 to 8 reels and each reel can have 3 to 8 symbols. Winning combinations are formed by placing the same symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
The Wild Villain symbol is the Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except Secret symbols. The Wild Villain symbol has a multiplier of x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, or x9, which is applied to all winning ways of which it is a part.
During normal play, Mad Melons that land on the reels can participate in winning combinations. When 3 different Mad Melons participate in a winning combination, they are considered as one type of symbol.
During Hold & Win, Mad Melon symbols have multipliers of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 9x. If the cash win values are too large to display, they are displayed as bet multipliers instead.
If 3 or more Scattered Secret symbols land during a single spin, the Hold & Win feature is triggered. The number of reels available during this feature is equal to the number of Secret symbols that triggered it. The feature starts with 3 lives and one life is lost for each spin that no Mad Melon or Villain symbol lands on the reels. Each time a Mad Melon or Villain symbol lands on the reels, the number of lives is restored to 3.
Above each reel, there are prize pots which contain cash prizes equal to the stake. When the Mad Melon symbol lands on a reel, the prize money it carries is added to the prize pot above the reel.
When the Wild Villain symbol lands on the reels, the cash prize above the reel is multiplied by the value that the Wild Villain symbol has. There is also an Evil Twin version of the Wild Villain symbol that multiplies values over all reels.
The prize pot over each reel can reach up to 1000x your stake. Once all lives have been lost or the maximum game win has been reached, the feature will end and all wins collected in the prize pools will be awarded.
