Volatility
medium
The average cost is total bets × (100% − RTP). Real sessions swing far above or below it, and more so the higher the volatility. 500 spins is roughly an hour of play.
How it works
Instead of spinning, symbols fall into place. Winning symbols explode and new ones fall in their place (avalanche). Each avalanche in a row raises the multiplier: 1x, 2x, 3x, then 5x.
Bonus features
Three free fall symbols on the first three reels trigger 10 free falls. Multipliers are higher during the bonus: 3x, 6x, 9x, then 15x. Free falls can be retriggered.
Our tips before you play
Its RTP is slightly below the 96% many newer slots offer. Avalanche chains can pay well, but long chains are rare: keep a steady bet size.
