Pond Life

1 Introduction

Pond Life is a 5x5 game with 3125 payment methods.

2 How to play

Spin the reels by pressing the spin button to try to get 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on a winning line.

Select the bet change button to increase or decrease the bet amount.

2.1 Auto Play

Press the Auto Play button to view the options. You must select the number of Auto Plays and the loss limit to start the Auto Play function

Your custom loss limit indicates the amount of money you're willing to lose before autoplay stops. For example, if you have a balance of £50 and set a loss limit of £20, autoplay will stop as soon as your balance drops below £30, even if you still have autoplay games remaining.

You can accept the suggested loss limit (which is your stake multiplied by the number of autoplays selected) or manually set a loss limit by pressing the custom loss limit button.

Select the "More" option in settings if you want to stop automatic betting when you exceed a certain amount of winnings.

Select the autoplay button during autoplays to stop them.

2.2 Turbo Mode

Activating Turbo Mode accelerates the reel spin animation to increase the game speed. This does not affect the game outcome

3 Rules of the game

The number of combinations is calculated by multiplying the number of matching symbols on each adjacent reel for that winning combination.

The prize is calculated by multiplying the prize in the payout table by the number of possible combinations for that winning combination.

There are 3125 ways to win.

Only the highest prize is paid for each winning combination.

The prizes from all winning combinations are cumulative.

All symbols, except water lilies, are paid from left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost one.

All bonus prizes are added to any matching line winnings.

Winnings will be added to your account immediately.
If you lose the game, you will lose the amount wagered.

4 Cascades

Once all winning combinations have been paid out, any symbol that resulted in a prize will disappear from the screen

All remaining symbols will fall to fill the empty positions. The empty positions are replaced with new symbols cascading down from above.

Any new winning combination resulting from the new symbols will repeat the process.

The cascading process will continue until there are no more winning combinations in sight.

If a lily pad moves downwards during the falling process, and there is a frog on that lily pad, it will go down with the lily pad.

5 The Frog

If a lily pad appears on reel 1 after the initial symbols are shown, the frog will jump onto it. It can then move up, down, right, diagonally up and right, and diagonally down and right as it tries to advance toward the prizes to the right of the reels, on the logs adjacent to reel 5. It cannot move backward, and will only move if doing so would bring it further to the right of its current position

The frog will try to find a way to the logs, but that may not always result in the best reward if there is more than one possible.

If the frog reaches the right-hand roller, the player receives the prize from the log located to the right of the frog's position.

If possible, the frog will also move forward after each cascade of gains.

Once all wins and cascades have been processed, and the frog has advanced at least one position on the reels, a bonus drop is awarded. This results in an additional drop of symbols on the reels to the right of the frog's current position. This can lead to further wins as the frog moves further to the right. If the frog has moved further to the right after the bonus drop, another bonus drop is awarded, again giving new symbols on the reels to the right of the frog's current position.

This process continues until the frog can no longer move to the right or reaches the far right of the rollers.

6 The Logs

In the basic game, the prizes shown on the logs are (from top to bottom)

8 Free Spins

6 Free Spins

5 Free Spins

6 Free Spins

8 Free Spins

In addition, at the start of the game, a cash prize of 100 and 500 times the stake may randomly substitute for one of the above prizes. If the frog lands on reel five, the player receives the prize indicated on the adjacent log. If the prize is free spins, the free spins bonus starts with that number of free spins. If it is a cash value, the player receives the indicated prize, multiplied by the base game stake

7 Magical Super Dragonfly Modifier

After all the wins, cascades, frog movement and extra drops have been processed, and the frog has not reached the far right of the reels, the magic super dragonfly may appear.

It can fly across the screen and fly back without further action. It can drop symbols (including lily pads) onto the reels. This can result in more wins or frog moves, all of which are processed as described above.

The magic super dragonfly can only appear once in a basic game or Free Spins round, but it can appear more than once during a Free Spins bonus round.

8 Features

If the frog lands on the right-hand reel and the value of the adjacent log is the number of free spins, the free spins bonus starts with that number of free spins

During the free spins, the lily pads display values. The possible values for the lily pads are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times the bet of the basic game.

After the first free spin, the log values to the right of the reels may drop one position and a new value is added above.

The possible values for these new prizes are:

Cash winnings: 25, 50, 100 and 500 times the base game bet.

Frog win multipliers: x2, x3, x5 and x10 (and x25 in Fortune Bet)

Free spins: 5, 6 or 8 free spins (and 20 free spins on Fortune Bet).

As the frog moves across the lily pads, cash values are collected. The accumulated value is displayed below the frog. When it can move no further, or reaches the far right, the accumulated value is added to the bonus winnings. If the frog reaches a win multiplier value, the winnings accumulated from the frog's movement across the reels on this spin are multiplied by that value before being added to the bonus winnings.

If the frog wins a cash prize, this is also added to the bonus winnings.

If a certain number of free spins is reached, the free spins bonus is increased by that number of spins.

9 Bonus Purchase

Purchasing a bonus allows the player to acquire direct access to the bonus feature.

The player can choose to purchase a free spins bonus with 5, 6, 8, or 12 free spins. The associated cost of each option is shown.

The base game bet can also be changed. This change modifies the cost of each bonus option.

When you purchase the feature, the free spins bonus starts immediately with the chosen number of spins.

10 Bet

The bet feature can be set to be active, to be active if the winnings are greater than or equal to the x5 bet, or to be inactive

If the win bet is enabled, winnings earned during gameplay will offer this feature.

If the betting feature is active, and the winnings are greater than or equal to the x5 bet, any winnings obtained during the game that are greater than or equal to 5 times the bet will offer the betting feature.

When you enter the betting function, two roulette wheels appear. The left roulette wheel offers the possibility of increasing winnings by half, doubling, or tripling them.

The right-hand roulette wheel offers the chance to win a bonus. The winnings can be adjusted by pressing the "-" and "+" arrows. This, in turn, will adjust the roulette wheel's win and loss segments.

Press one of the roulette wheels, if active, during the function to bet your winnings and spin the pointer.

If the pointer stops on the green segment, the cash value or access to a bonus is awarded.

If the pointer stops on the red segment, the player loses any winnings and returns to the base game.

When the potential winning area of the betting roulette wheel is at its minimum size, the probability of success may be much lower than the visual representation shows.

Winnings can be wagered up to a maximum of x2500. Once the maximum win is reached, the winnings are automatically collected and the bet is closed.

In the bonus access bet, you can win one of up to 12 free spins. Once you've won all 12, the bonus access roulette will be disabled, but you can continue betting on the cash roulette.

Bonus winnings can be wagered, but the wager will not be available.

Press the "Collect" button during the show to collect your winnings.

Estimated payout for the betting game: 100%.

11 Fortune Bet

Fortune Bet is an alternative to regular spins. By activating Fortune Bet, the player can select a new bet multiplier of 1.5 times the current bet

By doing so, the values of the logs increase.

At Fortune Bet, the probability of the magic super dragonfly appearing increases. This results in more bonuses, which offer the chance to win log prizes with x25 win multipliers and +20 free spins.

12-Round Opportunity

The Spin Chance is automatically activated if the credit falls below the current game price, as long as it is greater than zero.

This gives the player the opportunity to wager their remaining credit in an attempt to win an additional spin on the current bet.

To play Chance of Spin, select the "PLAY" button to start moving the pointer across the meter.

You can also select the "NO, THANKS" button to exit the spin opportunity with the remaining credit.

If the pointer stops on the green segment, a spin is awarded on the current bet and the game is played automatically.

If the pointer stops on the red segment, the player loses any remaining credits and returns to the base game.

The red and green segments are proportional to the credit amount relative to the current bet. The probability of winning a spin is determined by this ratio.
