Bonus Features
Free Spins + Contractor Multiplier
3+ Scatters award Free Spins. Each consecutive win steps the global multiplier (resets after a dead spin). With stacked Wilds and locked reels, Vancouver-sized paydays are possible.
Crane Re-Spins
The crane locks contributing stacks and respins the rest — clutch for Montreal marathons when you’re one symbol short.
Cash Brick Hold-&-Win (Jackpots)
Six or more cash bricks start a bonus grid with sticky bricks and a respin counter. New bricks reset the counter; special stamps award Mini/Major, and filling the grid pays the Grand — an Ottawa evening favourite.
Volatility & Session Strategy
- Volatility: Medium-to-high; base is lively, features drive spikes.
- Bankroll Plan: Budget 170–230 spins to see multiple Crane events and at least one feature.
- Stake Rhythm: After a big jackpot/ladder run in Calgary, many players reset stakes and rebuild.
Mobile & Performance
High-contrast site icons and big buttons read clearly on phones/tablets. Portrait suits the Montreal Metro; landscape helps track brick totals on longer GO Transit rides in the GTA.
