The main features are the Hold & Win Bonus and Free Spins. The Hold & Win round starts when six blue or green gem bonus symbols land, awarding three respins. During the feature, bonus symbols can reveal Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots, while a mystery symbol may uncover a jackpot prize or a super bonus symbol. Filling the reels can trigger the Royal Jackpot of up to x10,000 the bet.
A Super Bonus Game can begin when five blue or green bonus symbols appear with a white gem super symbol, increasing the value of bonus symbols during the round. Free spins use only the top-paying symbols. The demo version is available to play for free and can be used to practice before playing for real money.
