Empress of the Golden Garden

The base game features an innovative uni-reel configuration that consists of a single arcing reel that populates the entire game board and creates a 4x5 play area with diverse features:
- When a butterfly feature symbol lands anywhere within the symbol window, one of three symbol transformations will occur:
- Row transformation: The initiating row transforms into all wild symbols.
- Column transformation: The initiating column transforms into all wild symbols, as well as two symbols on either side of the feature symbol.
- Major symbol upgrade: Transforms all of the majors in the symbol window into the top major symbol, and transforms the feature symbol itself into a multiplier.
- The multiplier upgrade feature can be triggered randomly on any spin that lands two or more wild symbols. Once triggered, the feature transforms one or more wilds into a multiplier symbol for big-win opportunities.

The bonus features are triggered when three scattered bonus symbols land within the symbol window. Players select one of the initiating symbols to trigger one of two bonuses:
- In the golden garden pick bonus, players pick from golden leaves to reveal credits that then fall to award multipliers.
- In the empress free spins bonus, players collect credits and multipliers during eight free spins and can win even more by landing collection window activators.
