Gaze of Gold: MEGA Hold and Win

1. Overview

The goal is to obtain a winning combination on a winning line spread across the reels.

Game specifications:

The game disconnects if you do not take any actions for a specific number of consecutive minutes (this number varies depending on jurisdiction); the session recovery feature will save the game progress so that the next time the game is loaded, you can continue where you left off.

In the event of technical difficulties resulting in a dropped connection to the game server, the game you were playing is saved automatically and will load the next time you establish a connection to the game server. You will not be able to reconnect to the game server for the first 30 seconds after the disconnection.

Note: In case of malfunction all pays and play are voided; any bet that was not yet accepted will be voided, any bet that was unsettled will be refunded.

2. How to Play

Note: If you do not have enough money to play a game, the bet can be set to the minimum selectable amount through a dialog window informing about this.

All winning lines pay from left to right. Wins on different lines are all added. Only the highest winning combination on each line is paid.

On the info bar, you can view the current BET, your BALANCE and your current WIN, displayed in either credit or your real currency, depending on the current user's choice (Available only for specific jurisdictions). To toggle between credit or your real currency, click in the BALANCE area (Available only for specific jurisdictions).

During the feature only Gold Shields and Boosters are in play and every time a new one lands or expand modifier is triggered, the respins counter will reset to 3.

After every respin the expand modifier can trigger and expand the grid up to 7x11.

The grid can expand by up to 2 rows, 2 columns or 1 row and 1 column, each times it is triggered.

Booster symbols can land to improve the current wins on the screen.

Multiply Booster will multiply all values on all Shields currently on the screen with x2, x3 or x5.

Multiply and collect Booster can not be awarded on the same respin, only 1 multiply Booster can be awarded on a respin.

Collect Booster will collect all values from all Shields on the screen and add them to the Shield where the Booster appeared.

Only 1 collector Booster can be awarded on a respin.

The side bet will add 50% to the cost of each spin.

The maximum total win in a single game is capped at 300,000 coins.
