Slot Mechanics, Features & How It Works
Two 5-reel sets spin together — one with 4 rows, one with 12 rows — across up to 100 win lines. A mischievous Fairy triggers Magic Symbols, Reel Win Multipliers (2x-5x), and Near Miss upgrades, while Stacked Wilds and scatter-triggered Free Spins (with reactivation and a point-and-click bonus) add depth. No progressive jackpot, but the Big Bet feature (£10-£25 stakes) unlocks Mega Expanding Wilds and Super bonus tiers.
RTP, Volatility & Max Win Potential
Default RTP is 96%, ranging from 94% on bets under £2 up to 98% via Big Bet, across stakes of £0.10 to £500. Max win sits at £250,000 — a £500 bet can return up to £250,000.
This is a Medium volatility slot, blending frequent 100-line hits with escalating Big Bet rewards. Lab Score: 9.0/10.
