THE NUMBERS.

ONLY PAYING CELLS GLOW.

Five or more regular symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a paying cluster. Diagonal contact alone does not pay. The ten regular types are four themed symbols plus A,K,Q,J,10 and 9. Wild substitutes for regulars and may join a qualifying component of each regular type. A remaining all-Wild group pays as the highest regular if those Wild cells have not already paid with a regular group.

Supercascades remove every regular copy of a winning type across the board and the paying Wild cells. Only the actual paying-cluster positions become gold marks; removed copies outside the paying group are not marked. Surviving symbols fall in their column order. Each spin permits up to eight cascade wins. FS, converters, pots and board multipliers survive supercascades.

FUSES, ECLIPSES & POTS.

After cascades, a Storm Fuse in Outlaw's Go Wild or Blood Eclipse in Dracula's Lair activates individually marked positions. A board Collector Pot can activate existing marks without a converter and joins the first wave as a pot. A pot without marks does not activate. FS positions never convert. Highlights are not expanded into entire columns. Base-game gold marks expire after every base round, including rounds without a converter; they can persist only through that spin’s cascades and conversion decision. Bonus persistence follows the tier rules below.

Multipliers affect orthogonally adjacent coins and pots. Every integer 2× through 100× has weight 1/(v−1)^1.5. Adjacent factors combine once each. Board multipliers retain one final-board factor across waves and work from outside the converted field when touching money. An isolated symbol shows no number and changes no award. Pots apply the factor after collecting their bounded pool. A pot starts a new wave, up to four.

Relative board-special draw weights (converter / pot / multiplier): Base 0.06 / 0.02 / 0.4; First 0.8 / 0.1 / 0.15; Second 1.8 / 0.2 / 0.25; Epic 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4. These are weights alongside regular symbols, not percentages. Epic additionally guarantees a converter. Reveal probabilities (coin / multiplier / pot) are Base and First 98.5% / 1% / 0.5%, Second 97% / 2% / 1%, Epic 95.5% / 3% / 1.5%.

FIXED, PUBLIC SELECTION WEIGHTS.

Each tier has 8,192 canonical seed scenarios. Selection mixes a uniform full catalogue with a uniform feature-rich subset. First has 512 mapped source seeds selected sequentially from source index 8,192 onward, each with raw feature prizes from 120× to below 240×; these occupy catalogue slots 7,680–8,191. Second’s 706 rich seeds have feature prizes from 240× to below 480×; Epic’s 953 have at least 1,000×. Every source mapping, rich index and mixture probability is public. This fixed finite model is selected before the wager and never adapts to a balance, player, session, win or loss history.

Base and Hunt preserve natural-entry probability exactly: 32/8,192 (0.390625%, 1/256) and 160/8,192 (1.953125%, 5/256). Entry prefixes remain uniform. Only non-entry outcomes use the feature-rich mixture; rich subsets contain 57 Base and 55 Hunt scenarios with actual positive feature awards. Conditional on entry, an independent uniform 8-bit draw selects 253 First, 2 Second and 1 Epic out of 256. The independent bonus-index draw uses exactly the purchased tier’s weighted sampler. Natural and bought bonus distributions are identical.

ORDINARY SYMBOLS STAY ORDINARY.

Every mode uses the same explicit ordinary cluster paytable, multiplied only by the regular symbol’s published factor. All previous mode/tier payout scalars are 1. For example, six Js pay 0.2 × 0.8 = 0.16× base bet and six roses pay 0.2 × 3 = 0.60×; together 0.76× before separate feature awards, whether in Base, Hunt or any bonus. Coins, pots and boosts supply the larger prizes. Exact expectation sums the fixed selection probabilities, including top-ups, event caps, natural-tier weights and the bonus-priority combined cap.

A tier’s rich-mixture probability is solved from the uniform and rich-subset expected prizes: alpha=(target-uniformMean)/(richMean-uniformMean). Base/Hunt solve the equivalent mixture only among non-entry prefixes. No calibration multiplier increases an ordinary win, changes a coin face, or adds an unexplained prize. Weighted distribution prefix sums integrate the independent canonical bonus under the shared 10,000× cap.

Authored monetary prizes have exact 0.005× base-bet precision. Integer arithmetic multiplies these units by the whole-cent stake and computes the cent remainder exactly, avoiding floating-point half-cent drift. The bonus and combined natural round share one uniform cent-rounding draw. The bonus keeps its exact purchased payout cents; the base prefix receives the nonnegative rounded residual. Canonical bonus events are never rewritten, and no natural-entry-specific top-up redistribution occurs. Ledger receipts prevent duplicate credit after interrupted animations.
