Game Basics
Golden Realms is a 5-reel video slot with the Random Wilds feature, Meteor Splash feature, Fire Multiplier feature, and Free Spins. The reels are arranged in a diamond pattern where reels 1–5 are 3, 4, 5, 4, and 3 symbols high from left to right.
The game is played with 36 bet lines (fixed) that pay if in succession from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel, without gaps. Simultaneous wins on different bet lines are added, and only the highest win per bet line is paid.
A bet line win is equal to the value shown in the Paytable multiplied by any applicable multipliers. Symbol payout values shown in the Paytable are dynamic and change in accordance with the selected bet value.
Wild Symbols
Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the reels in the main game and in Free Spins.
Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter symbols. Wild symbol substitution pays the highest possible winning combination on a bet line, according to the Paytable.
Special features
One or more Special features (Random Wilds, Meteor Splash, or Fire Multiplier) can be randomly activated during any spin in the main game and in Free Spins. In the case of multiple features being activated in one spin, they occur in the following order:
1. Random Wilds
2. Meteor Splash
3. Fire Multiplier
The wins are evaluated after all features are concluded.
One feature of each type can be triggered per spin.
Random Wilds feature
The Random Wilds feature can be randomly activated at the start of any spin in the main game and in Free Spins. In the Random Wilds feature, 5 to 9 Wild symbols are randomly placed on the reels before the wins are evaluated.
Meteor Splash feature
The Meteor Splash feature can be randomly activated at the end of any spin before wins are evaluated in the main game and in Free Spins. In this feature, a random symbol on the reels is chosen to expand and cover all adjacent symbols (up to 6) and the symbols adjacent to these (up to 12). Wild symbols don’t get replaced in the Meteor Splash feature.
Fire Multiplier feature
The Fire Multiplier feature can be randomly activated at the end of any spin before wins are evaluated in the main game and in Free Spins. In this feature, 5 to 13 symbols on the reels are assigned multipliers from x1 to x5.
When the feature is activated, a random symbol on the reels is chosen, creating a blast that may go in the direction of top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right. The multiplier values grow by x1 as the positions go farther from the beginning of the blast. One position vertically adjacent to the beginning of the blast and one position diagonally adjacent to it is chosen and assigned an x2 multiplier. If any chosen position already has a multiplier, it is skipped. This pattern is repeated for each position that has been assigned a multiplier, increasing the multiplier assigned by x1 until there are no more adjacent positions without multipliers in the chosen direction from the original position.
For example, the blast begins in the top-left corner of reel 1 with x1, and the multiplier values grow, as seen below.
Once the blast is concluded and all multipliers are placed on the reels, the wins are calculated. Multipliers are summed, and the wins are multiplied based on the total multiplier on the line.
Free Spins
3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels in the main game activate 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins, respectively. Scatter symbols do not appear in Free Spins.
Free Spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated Free Spins. At the end of Free Spins, the total win from Free Spins is added to any wins from the round that activated Free Spins, and the game returns to the round that activated Free Spins.
Return to Player
The theoretical return to player for this game is 94.02%.
