The reels are set against the backdrop of the Yukon River area in Canada, and a raging waterfall. Valuable Treasure Chests, which are both Wilds and Scatters, flow down the river, over the falls and may stick on the reels. The Chests are independent of the reels and can only land on reels 2,3, and 4. The wild is applied to all applicable paylines.
The RAPID RESPINS are triggered by having one or two Chests on the reels. For example, one chest lands on the reels. The player is awarded any winning paylines. The wild is held in place (sticks), and all other positions respin. The player is paid out any new winning paylines. If there was no new wild added during the respin, the wild falls off the screen and respins end. If one more wild was added, then both wilds stick, the player is paid any winning paylines and there is another respin of all other positions. If no additional wilds were added, then the wilds fall off the reels and respins end. If one more wild is added, player is paid any winning paylines, then the RIVER OF GOLD Free Spins are awarded.
In RIVER OF GOLD Free Spins, instead of the chests falling off the reels after a spin or respin ends, they walk or move down one position in the reels until they fall off the bottom. The feature triggered by having 3 scatters/wilds on reels 2,3, or 4. New wilds come rushing down the river and are added to the reels, just like the main game. The RIVER OF GOLD free spins will keep spinning as long as there is a wild chest on the reels.
