Game Features & Mechanics

The game screen features a persistent array of prizes above the main reels. These prizes are divided into two types: Jackpot Prizes (with orange flames) and Credit Prizes (with blue electricity).

Building Multipliers: During the base game, landing a "Power Up" symbol on the first reel will randomly select one of the prizes above and increase its multiplier. The multiplier can increase by 1x to 5x from a single Power Up symbol, up to a maximum cap of 10x on any individual prize.

The "It's Alive" Feature: The main bonus is triggered by landing an "It's Alive" symbol on reel 1 combined with one or more Frankenstein head symbols on reels 2 through 5.

  • When triggered, each Frankenstein head on the reels will shoot electricity up to a random prize in the array above, instantly awarding you that prize.
  • If the awarded prize has a multiplier, the prize value is multiplied accordingly.
Multiplier Reset: After the "It's Alive" feature is completed, all active multipliers are cleared from the board. The game then randomly adds two or three new base multipliers to the prizes (excluding the three smallest credit prizes) to restart the cycle.

The multipliers are tiered based on the symbol's value in the paytable. The highest-paying symbols are assigned the most powerful multipliers (8x, 6x, and 5x), while all the lower-paying symbols are assigned a much weaker 3x multiplier. After the 8-spin countdown expires, the multiplier is removed from the symbol.

What to Be Careful About

  • Suggested bankroll: 250 units.
  • Prize Volatility: The smaller blue credit prizes are easier to hit during the "It's Alive" feature. Therefore, having multipliers spread across these smaller prizes offers a lower-variance play with a higher chance of a solid return. Multipliers concentrated only on the large orange jackpots are a higher-risk, higher-reward chase.
  • Grand Jackpot Exception: Be aware that the Grand Jackpot is a wide-area progressive and is only available on wagers of $3 or more. Multipliers cannot be applied to the Grand Jackpot prize.
