A 5-level Death Meter is active in main game and bonus modes. Every 3rd avalanche will unlock a Death Meter level, converting all instances of a designated character symbol type into Wilds for the rest of the round. Unlocking Level 5 of the Death Meter sets the global win multiplier to x2 the first time it’s unlocked, and increases it by +1 for every subsequent unlock. It may also trigger one of the following features: • Mental Patient Feature Randomly selects a low paying symbol, transforms it and all its instances into a Mental Patient symbol. • xSplit® Wild Randomly selects one or more Character Wild symbols and transforms them into xSplit® Wilds. Each Split Wild splits and doubles all symbols in its row, except Scatter symbols. In case xNudge® Wild splits, its multiplier gets doubled. • xNudge® Wild Randomly selects one or more Character Wild symbol positions and converts them to xNudge® Wild. Once any of the above features is triggered, Death Meter level 5 gets locked again.

A Wild that lands will drop to the bottom position, increasing its payout multiplier by +1 for each symbol it passes over during the drop. Once it reaches the bottom, it expands to cover the entire reel. As it expands upward over all symbols, only split symbols increase its multiplier. Multiple consecutive xNudge® Wild multipliers are added up to a total win multiplier. Example: x3+x1=x4. xNudge® Wild multiplier applies only to wins involving the xNudge® Wild. A Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except Scatter symbol.

Knock Knock will be triggered in main game when 3 or more of the same kind of symbols align horizontally and there is no winning combination. The triggering symbols will be removed creating Mental Patient symbols in the middle positions of the alignment. If a replaced middle position has a multiplier, that multiplier is transferred to the Mental Patient symbol replacing it. All other symbols will explode except Scatter, Wild or the Mental Patient symbol and trigger a new collapse.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols awards 7, 9, or 11 Ding Dong Spins respectively. Death Meter and global win multiplier does not reset. Landing a Scatter symbol awards +1 spin.

Landing 6 Scatter symbols awards 13 Ding Dong Death Spins. All Ding Dong Spins features are active. Each unlocked Death Meter level increases the global win multiplier by +1. Unlike other game modes, Level 5 simply adds +1 to the multiplier. xNudge® Wild multiplier participating in a win adds to the global win multiplier.

At the cost of 2 times the base bet, the player is 3 times more likely to trigger Ding Dong Spins/Ding Dong Death Spins.

At the cost of 50 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed to unlock Death Meter level 3.

At the cost of 100 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed to unlock Death Meter level 4.

At the cost of 200 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed to unlock Death Meter level 5. The global win multiplier increases by +1 from the second level 5 unlock onwards.

At the cost of 300 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed an xNudge® Wild on reel 3 or 4.

Players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin when a round ends. The additional spin will keep the Death Meter levels and the win multiplier from the previous spin. The cost of the spin will be calculated based on the Death Meter levels and win multiplier. If the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the total win, then the Extra Spin opportunity will be presented.

The max payout of the game is 14,280 times the base bet. When the total win exceeds this amount the game round will end and 14,280 times the base bet is awarded.

xNudge®: A simple yet effective feature that turns any game into a massive potential bearing title! xNudge works alongside wild reels, wherein landing a wild in view has the potential to increase the multiplier attached, as the wild nudges to fill the entire reel. If the wild is not centred in the reel, it will either nudge up or down, incrementing its multiplier by 1 for each nudge.

xSplit® was first made available within xWays Hoarder xSplit, released in July 2021. On this first occasion, xSplit symbols go a long way towards assisting wins through the feature, as any xSplit symbols in view to the right of a Scatter symbol will turn the Scatter into a Super Scatter symbol – which within this release assists in progressing the feature through several levels. However, aside from the progression through bonus levels, xSplit as individual symbols increase win ways during base play. Any xSplit symbol in view will split all symbols to the left of it into two, increasing the ways to win. After this, the xSplit symbols will turn into wilds – for the potential of huge wins.

At the end of your round, you might get the chance to buy an extra spin without resetting your current progress. Keep your momentum and go for bigger rewards instead of starting over.
