Bonus functions and unique mechanics

• Trigger condition: 6 or more Yellow Sun symbols in any position on the field.
• When activated, it launches the Hold & Respin mode with 3 initial respins.
• All Yellow Suns are fixed, each carries a multiplier from 0.2x to 50x of the bet.
• The appearance of the Orange Sun sums up all current wins of Yellow Suns and adds them to the total win.
• The Red Sun sums up everything, including already received Orange wins, and can lead to a maximum win of 1000x.
• The Bonus Buy option is also available for 60x of the current bet for immediate entry into the bonus.

Wild and Scatter in the game are absent in the classic sense — their role is fulfilled by the Sun symbols themselves.
