THE DETAILS
A minimum of five adjacent symbols award a cluster win, which in turn triggers the Avalanche feature. The ‘Treasure Trail’ is central to the gameplay: this trail consists of 15 ‘meter bars’.
These bars are initially uncharged, but each time a clam wild is removed from the play area because of a cluster win, one bar of the Treasure Trail meter is charged. The Reef Raider moves along the treasure trail as its meter bars get charged. Furthermore, 15 or more charged Treasure Trail meter bars take players into free spins.
Reef Raiders come with two different wilds – the wild coin and claim wild – which substitutes symbols to form the highest possible winning combination.
Additionally, if a winning cluster contains at least three medium or low win symbols, a claim wild appears in place of one of the removed symbols before the Avalanche. Wild coin symbols can appear on the reels in the main game and in free spins when the Random Wilds or the Cannon Blast feature is activated.
Moreover, three charged bars award the Anchor Drop feature. When this feature is activated in the main game or in free spins, one to three different low win symbols are randomly chosen.
Players can also unlock the Random Wilds feature by landing six charged bars. Once opened, four to eight wild coin symbols are randomly placed on the reels.
Furthemore, nine charged bars award the Mystery Chest feature. When activated, two to 16 medium win and low win symbols on the reels are replaced with mystery symbols. All mysteries are revealed, and potential cluster wins are evaluated.
If 12 charged bars land it awards the Cannon Blast feature which results in a random symbol on the reels being removed from the play area along with all the medium win and low win symbols in the same row and column as the chosen symbol.
Finally, with 15 or more charged Treasure Trail meter bars award free spins, and every extra three charged bars award two additional spins.
