Pragmatic Play has launched Eastern Fury, a new 5×5 slot built around rival gangs, expanding wilds and multipliers that can climb as high as 100x.
The main mechanic centres on expanding wilds that can initially appear on reel five, covering the entire reel and carrying one of two rival multipliers ranging from 2x to 100x.
If an expanding wild lands during the base game but fails to create a winning combination, it remains in place and awards a respin. Further expanding wilds can then appear on reels four and three, moving from right to left until a respin produces a win.
Landing three, four or five scatter symbols triggers the Bonus Game and awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.
Expanded wilds become sticky throughout the feature, retaining both their positions and associated multipliers. Additional expanding wilds can continue to arrive from right to left, potentially creating increasingly valuable combinations as the free spins progress.
Eastern Fury also features a Super Free Spins mode. This is activated when one of the symbols triggering the bonus is a Super Scatter, increasing the minimum multiplier carried by expanding wilds to 10x.
The combination of persistent wild reels and multipliers reaching 100x gives the bonus rounds the potential to escalate considerably as more of the grid becomes occupied.
“Eastern Fury brings together a striking setting with mechanics that build anticipation spin after spin,” said Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play.
“Sticky expanding wilds and up to 100x multipliers create plenty of opportunities for memorable wins, while the Super Free Spins feature adds another layer of excitement for players.”
