SYMBOLS
The low value symbols are represented by the four card suits – clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. Depending on the number of winning combinations that appear on a single spin, these symbols offer wins of between x0.05 and x0.5 the player’s bet.
Moving up the paytable, rings, watches, bracelets and red gems offer between x0.1 and x2.5 the player’s stake. Finally, gold bars offer between x0.5 and x5 the player’s stake.
In addition, the title has a wild symbol that can substitute for all winning symbols. Depending on the number of wild symbols that land on the reels, the symbols can payout between x0.5 and x10 the player’s bet.
Alongside the regular symbols, the game has three hyena symbols – red, blue and yellow, which trigger a unique bonus when they reach the exit cell. It also has cash symbols which contain prize values ranging from x0.1 to x100, which are transferred to the cash pot when they reach the exit position.
THE DETAILS
At the heart of Hyena Hesit is the A-MAZE-CASCADE cascading win mechanism, which culminates with the exit at the bottom left corner of the grid. When a win is achieved, all symbols except the hyena symbols are eliminated, and existing symbols move through the grid towards the exit position – creating space for new symbols to drop into the grid from the right-most reel.
When a red hyena symbol reaches the exit, it adds a cash prize of between x5 and x1000 the total bet of the cash pot. The blue hyena multiplies the cash pot by up to x10, and the yellow hyena magnetises and collects all cash symbols still on screen.
Consecutive cascade wins all fill a progress bar that sits above the reels and trigger feature enhancements, including clearing low-paying symbols or carving an X-shaped pattern that removes all symbols but wilds, hyenas and cash coins.
Eight back-to-back cascade wins award free spins, and players choose between two types of modes.
The reset cash pot grants six free spins and a fresh cash pot each round, whereas the sticky cash pot mode awards three free spins and a cash pot that accumulates after each spin. During the free spins rounds, ten re-triggers are possible, and up to three hyenas can appear on the reels.
In addition, a surprise wild bomb feature can activate on any non-winning spins. During the feature, up to five bomb symbols can land on the reels, and in the adjacent 3×3 areas, each of the bomb symbols destroys all symbols except hyena, wild and cash symbols. The position the bomb lands on then becomes wild.
WHAT THEY SAY
Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “Hyena Heist A-MAZE-CADES builds on the mechanics our players love while introducing fresh layers of strategy. We’ve fine‑tuned the cascade paths so every win not only feels rewarding but sets up the next opportunity. The Hyenas’ playful animations bring character to each spin, and the combination of cash prizes, multipliers and magnet features ensures there’s always something to aim for.”
