Ziggurat

How to play Ziggurat

Six reels, and on every spin each reel shows 2 to 7 symbols, so the temple has a different shape each time. The ways counter shows how many ways can pay, and wins are paid at once: there are no cascades. A symbol wins with matching symbols on neighbouring reels from the left, and every matching symbol on a reel counts. In the base game the low symbols (bronze mask, jade bead, feather and clay jar) need 5 or more reels, and the high symbols (jaguar, eagle, sun crown and golden idol) need 4 or more. In the free spins all symbols pay from 4 reels.

The sun disc is wild on reels 2 to 6 and replaces everything except the eye and the key. Discs come as ×1, ×2 and ×3, and several multiplier discs in one way multiply together. The stone eye is the scatter: 3, 4 or 5 or more start 8, 12 or 16 free spins.

The sun keys and the rising temple

The sun key is the special symbol. In the base game a key gives a single boost spin with a taller temple. In the free spins every key raises the temple by one tier for good: every reel gets a taller minimum height, up to 7 rows, and the first three keys of the bonus also add one free spin each. The temple only goes up, never down, so the wins get richer and the ways counter climbs as the bonus goes on.

The free spins pay richer ways, so a spin either pays or is dry, and a bonus is usually decided by a few spins when the temple is already tall. The total of spins never goes above 30.

Buying the bonus and a tip

You can buy the free spins for 100 times the bet. The maximum win of a round is 5,000 times the bet. A tip: keys matter more than anything else in the bonus, so expect the early spins to be quiet while the temple is still low.
