TIPS AND TRICKS

3 scattered Gold Nuggets will trigger the free games feature. The player can choose one of five features, each with a different number of free games and multipliers. The feature options are:

20 free games, wins with Emperor substituting multiplied by x2, x3 or x5
15 free games, wins with Emperor substituting multiplied by x3, x5 or x8
10 free games, wins with Emperor substituting multiplied by x5, x8 or x10
8 free games, wins with Emperor substituting multiplied by x8, x10 or x15
5 free games, wins with Emperor substituting multiplied by x10, x15 or x30

During the free games, if Red Packets appear on both reels 1 and 5, a random prize of 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 50 times the total bet is awarded.

The feature can also be retriggered during the free games. When this occurs, a bag showing the number of features remaining is shown at the top of the screen, and the player will return to the feature select screen after the final free game to start the new feature.
