- The game features various symbols, each with specific payout values for matching 3, 4, or 5 symbols on a payline. The symbol payout values are as follows:

- Wild Symbol: Only appears during the Free Spins round on all reels. Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter, Money, and Hot Tuna symbols.
- Scatter Symbol: Appears on all reels and is required to trigger the Free Spins feature.
Money Symbol
- The Money symbol takes a random value of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 2500x total bet on every spin. These values can be won during the Free Spins feature.
Free Spins Feature
- Hitting 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols triggers 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.
- In the base game, when 2 Scatter symbols land without a third, random features may trigger to add another Scatter or move the reels to create a third Scatter.
- Additional Scatter symbols may also appear randomly after a spin.
Hot Tuna Symbol
- The Hot Tuna symbol appears only during Free Spins.
- When collected, it applies a 10x multiplier to the total value of Money symbol values collected. Multiple Hot Tuna symbols in the same collection combine their multipliers.
- During Free Spins, each Wild symbol awards one additional free spin and collects all Money symbol values on the screen.
- Money symbols can be collected in a meter. Collecting 6 Money symbols for each of 7 steps retriggers 10 additional free spins and a Hot Tuna symbol. Once the meter is filled, these rewards occur for each progression.
- Hot Tuna symbols can only appear if the feature has been retriggered at least once.
- Special reels are in play during the Free Spins feature.
Maximum Potential Win
- The maximum potential win is limited to 2,500 times the bet. If this cap is reached during Free Spins, the feature immediately ends, winnings are awarded, and any remaining Free Spins are forfeited.
Ante Bet
