Bones & Bounty

Bones & Bounty is a pirate-themed slot set against a backdrop of stormy seas and supernatural elements. The game's visuals create an eerie atmosphere with dark, turbulent skies and jagged rocks emerging from mystically green-tinted waters. A ghostly pirate ship with tattered sails can be seen silhouetted against this ominous seascape.

Core Game and Mechanics

Bones & Bounty features a 6×4 reel layout with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The game employs a high volatility math model with an RTP of 96.16%.

Players can adjust their bet size before each spin, with options ranging from $0.20 to $100. The maximum win potential is an impressive 25,000x the stake, which aligns with the game's high volatility.

A key mechanic in the base game is the stacked respin wilds feature. These special wilds can appear on any reel except the first one and occupy two to four positions. When a stacked respin wild lands, it triggers a respin where the wild remains locked in place while the other reels spin again.

Bonus Features

1. Stacked Respin Wilds:
   • These wilds can land on reels 2-6 in the base game.
   • They occupy 2-4 positions vertically.
   • When a stacked respin wild appears, it triggers a respin.
   • The stacked wild remains locked in place during the respin.
   • Additional stacked respin wilds landing during a respin trigger more respins.
   • A maximum of four stacked respin wilds can be present simultaneously.
   • Scatter symbols collected during respins are added to a special meter.
2. Cash Bonus Game:
   • Triggered by collecting three scatter symbols during respins or landing them simultaneously in the base game.
   • Players start with three initial spins.
   • The goal is to accumulate winnings by landing cash coin symbols.
   • New cash coins or bonus symbols reset the respin counter to three.
   • A shift mechanism moves all cash coins one position to the right after each spin.
3. Ghost Reel:
   • Introduced during the cash bonus game.
   • Acts as a multiplier reel with an initial value of 2x.
   • Symbols reaching the ghost reel have their values multiplied by its multiplier.
   • Multiplied symbols are then placed back on the game grid in random positions.
4. Persistent Payers:
   • Special symbols with values of 1x, 2x, or 3x.
   • When a persistent payer reaches the ghost reel, it increases the value of all cash coin symbols in the game area.
   • This effect applies to other persistent payers as well.
5. Multiplier Cash Symbols:
   • Can have values of 1x, 2x, or 3x.
   • Their value is immediately added to the ghost reel's multiplier upon appearing.
   • After increasing the multiplier, they transform into cash coins with matching values.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Bones & Bounty is its innovative ghost reel mechanic in the cash bonus game. This feature not only acts as a multiplier but also creates a dynamic playing field by returning multiplied symbols back to the grid. This continuous cycle of multiplication and redistribution can lead to potentially massive wins, especially when combined with the persistent payers and multiplier cash symbols. This intricate interplay of bonus features adds layers of excitement and strategy to the gameplay, making each bonus round a unique experience.
