Game Rules
Welcome to Origins of Existence, an interstellar slot machine where symbols transform and adapt as you play, unlocking big wins and new levels of excitement with every spin! Watch as the powerful Catalyst symbol triggers special Evolution Bonus Drops and evolves dynamic symbols to their full potential.
Winnings are awarded for three or more evolving symbols of the same species or three or more identical test tube symbols. Winning combinations must start on the leftmost reel and be placed on neighbouring reels from left to right.
Evolving Symbols
Pyremite, Tentaculus, Lunacarus, and Swampy are evolutionary characters. They exist in 4 different states of evolution. All of them can be replaced by Wild symbols. New evolving characters can only appear in state 1,2 or 3.
Flacon
5 Vial symbols cannot evolve and can be replaced by Wild symbols.
Catalyzator
Only one Catalyst symbol can be in the field of view. If a symbol is cleared, a new Catalyst symbol appears on the screen.
Features:
Win + Cascade
Winning symbols are removed and the symbols on top fill the gaps. The gaps in the first row are filled with new symbols. This continues until no new wins are received.
Evolution Bonus Payout
The Catalyst symbol is only triggered if there are no wins in sight. If less than 3 evolutive symbols touch the Catalyst symbol directly or through another evolutive symbol, the Evolution Bonus Drop is activated: All evolutive symbols (Pyremite, Tentaculus, Lunacarus, Swampbean) that touch the Catalyst symbol directly or through another evolutive symbol move to the next evolutionary stage. After this evolution, the Catalyst character and all characters that touched the Catalyst character and are not evolved characters (Vial-5, Vial-4, Vial-3, Vial-2, Vial-1) will be removed. This can start a cascade ending with the last win.
Chain Reaction
The catalyst symbol is only triggered when there are no wins in sight. If three or more evolved symbols touch the catalyst symbol directly or through another evolved symbol, the Chain Reaction Feature is activated: All three or more evolved symbols that touch the catalyst symbol directly or through another evolved symbol move to the next stage of evolution. All other characters and the catalyst character will then be removed. The remaining symbols will fall to the bottom of the playing field, and any empty spaces will be filled from the top. Wilds that touch the evolution symbols will not be removed. All other wilds will be deleted. This process continues until the entry condition is no longer met. The winnings will now be calculated.
Bonus Game
The Bonus Game is triggered when 3 or more evolving symbols of the same colour in evolution state 4 come into view. The trigger is saved and activated when the entry conditions for features 1-3 are no longer met. This triggers 2, 4 or 6 free spins when 3, 4 or 5 symbols appear. The evolving symbol that triggered the free spins becomes the lock symbol. During the free spins, the Locked symbol will always appear in full evolution. During free spins, all Wild symbols are expanded by one reel (5 positions) and can only be seen if there is enough space for a full 5x Wild. The bonus feature will be restarted if another evolving symbol fulfils the entry condition. In the full evolution condition, that symbol will also become locked. Blocked symbols cannot restart the bonus.
Buy Bonus
The buy-in bonus always starts with 6 free spins. At the beginning, the wheel of fortune selects special symbols from 4 evolving symbols.
Evolutionary Symbols
Three or more evolving symbols of the same species on a single win. Evolutionary symbols consist of 4 species: Pyremite, Tentaculus, Lunacarus, Swampbean.
Wild
Only on reels 2,4 (not on the first reel) Substitutes for all symbols except the catalyst (Scatter). Wild symbols substitute for any symbol except the scatter. Wilds are always considered the highest possible stage of symbol evolution and extend the chain to trigger a bonus and to chain reaction as an evolving symbol. Extended Wild symbols count as 5 evolving symbols for the bonus.
Extended Wild
Only in free spins and only on reels 2,4 (not on the first reel) but always 5 Wild High Replaces all symbols except the catalyst (scatter).
Catalyzator
A scatter that can only appear on reels 1, 3, 5.
