Bonus functions and unique mechanics

• Wild symbol: depicted as the eye of a jaguar or African woman. Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter. On the 4th baraban, Wild becomes a multiplier x2, doubling the winnings. With two Wild multipliers, the total multiplier is x4.
• Scatter (scatter): the appearance of 3 or more Scatters on the barabans activates 15 free spins and pays 5× from the total bet. During free spins, Wild multipliers remain active.
• Risk-game (Gamble Feature): after any win, you can double the prize by guessing the color of the card. There is also an option for 'half bet' — risk only part of the winnings.

Expert opinions and recommendations
