Base Game

Five reels, three rows, twenty fixed paylines. The payline count is not adjustable.

There is no tumble, cascade, expanding reel or ways-to-win element. Regular symbol wins are evaluated on the fixed paylines only. This places the title structurally closer to a classic five-reel slot than to the cascade-driven designs common in the current catalogue, and the Medium volatility rating is consistent with that.

Wilds

The diamond is the Wild symbol and substitutes for regular symbols.

Its substitution is bounded. It does not substitute for the Mask symbol or for the Free Spins symbol. Both scatter systems documented below are therefore unaffected by Wild placement, and no Wild-assisted route into either exists.

Mask Symbols

The Mask is a scatter that pays directly, and it operates independently of the twenty paylines.

Masks pay for appearing anywhere on the reels. Three or more award a cash prize, and the prize increases with the number landed. The scale runs to nine, which is the full grid complement and the game's maximum award.

The distinction matters. In most designs a scatter is a trigger for a later feature. Here the Mask is itself the payout, resolved on the spin it lands, with no bonus round required.

Free Spins

Trigger

Three or more Free Spins symbols, depicted as shield and spears, landing on reels two, three and four trigger the feature. The reel restriction is specific: the symbol is only relevant on those three reels.

Bonus wheel

The trigger does not award free spins directly. It awards a wheel, and the wheel determines the configuration.

Two recorded outcomes exist. One awards 10 to 12 free spins carrying a 2x multiplier. The other awards 15 to 30 free spins carrying a 3x multiplier. The higher band is superior on both axes, spin count and multiplier, rather than trading one against the other.

Retriggers

The free spins round can be retriggered. No cap is recorded.

Jackpot

No jackpot system is recorded. The ceiling is defined by the max win figure below.

Max Win Conditions

The recorded max win is 2,000x stake, and unlike most entries in this index the route to it is explicit rather than compound.

The figure is awarded for landing all nine Mask symbols. It is not the product of a multiplier chain or an extended bonus round; it is a single defined symbol event with a stated award.

This also means the ceiling is reachable in the base game. It does not require the free spins round.

No probability data for the nine-Mask event is recorded.

Bonus Buy

No bonus buy or feature purchase option is recorded for this entry. Pending a specification update.

Unpublished and Unverified Figures

The following are absent from the verified record and have not been estimated:

  • Per-symbol paytable values for the regular symbol set
  • The award scale for three through eight Masks; only the nine-Mask figure of 2,000x is recorded
  • The distribution of the bonus wheel between its two outcome bands
  • Hit frequency
  • Minimum and maximum bet range
  • Release date
  • Alternative RTP configurations supplied to operators

RTP is recorded as a single figure of 96.24%. Microgaming titles are frequently supplied in multiple RTP configurations. No variant set is confirmed here, so only the recorded figure is stated.

Responsible Gambling

This entry is a factual specification and not a recommendation to play. Outcomes are determined by a random number generator, and the fixed payline count means no configuration choice alters the recorded return to player figure. Support is available through operator limit and self-exclusion tools, and in Malta through the Responsible Gaming Foundation.
