The biggest change is not simply the larger win potential. AvatarUX has rebuilt the game around an additional Loaded Reel positioned beside the main grid, giving one mechanic control over multipliers, board expansion and access to bonus features.
Base Gameplay Loaded ReelThe Loaded Reel Powers the Grid
The Loaded Reel spins alongside the main board and can deliver different enhancements during play. AvatarUX confirms that it can drop multipliers, trigger grid expansions and activate bonus features, making it the central engine behind the sequel rather than a secondary side mechanic.
The grid starts at 5×4, but additional rows can be unlocked until it reaches 5×7. At maximum size, the expanded board offers 16,807 ways to win, considerably increasing the number of active positions available for regular symbols and bonus Coins.
Expanding Grid Loaded ReelLoaded Hold & Win Takes Over the 5×7 Board
The Loaded Hold & Win Bonus uses the expanded 5×7 layout as its main playing area. Coin symbols lock into position, while every new Coin can trigger the Loaded Reel again and introduce additional power-ups. Collector symbols can also gather the cash values already visible across the board.
This keeps the bonus tied directly to the game’s central mechanic: the same Loaded Reel that expands the grid in regular play continues influencing the Hold & Win round instead of disappearing once the feature begins.
Loaded Hold & Win Jackpot GridFive Jackpots Reward a Full Board
There are five jackpot tiers inside the bonus: Mini, Minor, Midi, Major and Grand. The Grand is tied directly to completing the expanded board — filling all 35 positions awards the top jackpot.
That makes grid expansion important for more than the number of Ways. The 5×7 layout also becomes the full target board for Hold & Win, connecting the base-game expansion mechanic with the slot’s largest bonus objective.
AvatarUX also confirms Feature Spin, Bonus Buy and Bonus Buy MAX for players who want quicker access to the feature action.
Free Spins Add Another Route Below the Surface
The official gameplay material you supplied also includes a Free Spins award screen, showing that the game has another bonus route alongside Loaded Hold & Win.
Free SpinsA Sequel Built Around Expansion
Depths of Fortune 2 keeps its larger feature set connected around one idea: the Loaded Reel continually changes what the main grid can do. It can increase multipliers, open additional positions and remain relevant once Hold & Win begins.
Starting from a 5×4 layout and growing to 5×7 with 16,807 Ways, the sequel puts much more emphasis on board progression than a conventional static-grid slot. With Super High variance and 10,000× win potential, AvatarUX has turned the returning underwater theme into a substantially expanded feature system rather than simply refreshing the original game.
