During each spin there is a chance that a Reel Clone will produce between two and four identical reels between reels 2 and 5. Scatters can be cloned.

Wilds expand horizontally and vertically based on the number of reels cloned:

2 Reels – X4. 3 Reels – X27. 4 Reels – X256.

The ways of any win with a Cloned Wild substituting are multiplied by the Wild multiplier.

Scatters

3 or more Scatters in any position awards a Feature. The stake used to trigger the Feature will be used for the Feature duration.

Select either the Countdown Free Spins or the Heading for Venus Free Spins.

Once a choice is made the Feature will play out automatically. Scatter wins are added to wins.

Choice 1 – The Countdown Free Spins

8 Free Spins are awarded beginning with a X4 Roaming Wild on reels 2 to 5. Roaming Wild grows on each retrigger up to X256.

The ways of any win with Roaming Wild substituting are multiplied by the Wild multiplier.

The Countdown starts at 10 and is displayed next to the reels. When it reaches 0 the Feature retriggers and the Countdown is reset to 10.

Countdown Scatter pays the same as regular Scatters and reduces the Countdown by up to 3. Regular Scatters do not appear in The Countdown Free Spins.

The first retrigger awards an extra 4 Free Spins and the second retrigger awards an extra 2 Free Spins. After the second retrigger, the Countdown and all Countdown Scatters are removed from the Feature. Maximum number of Free Spins is 14.

Choice 2 – Heading For Venus Free Spins

15 Free Spins are awarded with a Reel Clone on every spin.

A Velocity Wild occurs on a Reel Clone and grows from X4 to X888 at random.

Velocity Wilds over 2 reels have a random multiplier from X4 to X26. Velocity Wilds over 3 reels have a random multiplier from X27 to X255. Velocity Wilds over 4 reels have a random multiplier from X256 to X888.

Wins with Velocity Wild substituting are multiplied by the Wild multiplier.

3 or more Scatters award an additional 15 Free Spins. There is no cap on the number of times the Heading for Venus Free Spins can be retriggered.
