Paylines
25 fixed paylines
The headline feature on this Habanero release isn't the free spins themselves but what happens on top of them. Three scatters drop you into a 15-spin round, which is fairly standard, except a strip of 10 unlit bulbs hangs across the top of the screen as a collection meter. Every special bulb symbol that lands during the round lights one. Fill all ten before the spin counter runs out and the round retriggers with another 15 spins on the house, taking the total to 30 free spins. Miss a few and you finish with whatever the partial meter paid. Because the math model underneath is officially low-volatility, the meter tends to creep upward in steady chunks rather than landing as a single explosive chain, which is unusual for a feature this generous on paper.
The base game is a 5×3 grid with 25 fixed paylines reading left to right. A party-goer holding a champagne flute serves as the wild and stands in for everything except the gold BASH scatter emblem. There is no buy-in option, no Super Bet ante, and no second bonus path – the bulb round is the only feature route in or out, which matches the studio's pre-2023 release calendar. Two random progressive jackpots sit overhead and can hit on any paid spin: a Grand tracking into four figures and a Minor in the double digits, both fed by a shared cross-game pool rather than a time-limited race format.
Visually the cabinet leans into the rooftop New Year theme without overplaying it. Premium symbols are landmark portraits framed against fireworks bursts – Big Ben lit against the London skyline, the Eiffel Tower in golden firework spray, the Golden Gate Bridge silhouetted over an evening bay. Card royals appear as inflated helium balloons in pink, teal, green, and red, dangling on visible strings between the reels. Fairy lights strung around the cabinet twinkle independently of spin animations, and the marquee bulb-frame wordmark up top sells the casino-floor party feel. The midnight cityscape behind the grid carries the same skyline silhouettes as the symbol art. One mild gripe: the FUN PLAY MODE banner that pops up on demo loads has to be dismissed every time, which feels dated against newer studio launchers. 21,265x as a stake cap is unusually high for low volatility, and that ceiling is anchored entirely on the extended bulb round.
