The avalanche cycle continues as long as new winning combinations appear.

  13. When the avalanche cycle ends, the next symbol drop will add one additional row of symbols at the top, resulting in an increased number of ways to win.

  14. The number of ways to win increases as the number of rows increases. 4 rows: 4 096 ways to win

  16. The Charged Wild symbol has 4 extra lives. It spends a life when it contributes to a win, and becomes a regular wild when it spends its fourth life. The Charged Wild substitutes for any regular symbol as a normal wild symbol.

The Wild Forge turns into a multiplier wild, with the multiplier value it currently carries, when it falls to the bottom.

  20. When the beams from two Laser symbols intersect, the Laser symbols and all regular symbols along the beams, up to the intersection point, are turned into wilds. A beam passing through another Laser symbol is considered to intersect when it reaches the second Laser symbol. Payout occurs after the symbol transformation.
