While the other reels cascade the Jaguar symbol functions as an expanded wild that sticks to the reels offering multiplier wins of up to 5x.

The Free Games feature is played when the Free Games scatter icon appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 – you’re given a choice between 3 Free Spins options, each with it’s own win ratio and volatility. It took us around 50 money spins to trigger the free spins feature at an average bet of €5 per spin. Each free spins feature starts with a casting mold that’s smashed by two hammers which determines how many free spins you’ll get. Here are the 3 Free Games options:

Double Multiplier Free Games
