Bonus Features
Free Spins with Rising Multiplier
3+ Scatters award Free Spins. Each consecutive win steps the multiplier (e.g., ×2 → ×3 → ×5), resetting after a dead spin. With extra Wilds from Wild Surges, Vancouver-sized hits are possible.
Hold-&-Win Jackpot
Landing 6+ Jackpot Orbs starts a three-respin sequence. Orbs lock; every new orb resets the respin counter and adds its value. Special orbs can award Mini or Major instantly. Fill the grid to take the Grand — the marquee Montreal moment.
Wild Surge (Random)
At any time, a neon wave can add Wilds across random positions, rescuing near-misses during Ottawa evening sessions.
Volatility & Session Strategy
- Volatility: Medium-to-high; base is lively, jackpots create big spikes.
- Bankroll Plan: Aim for 160–220 spins to see multiple orb clusters and a solid bonus.
- Stake Rhythm: After a jackpot hit in Calgary, many players reset stakes lower and rebuild toward the next feature.
Mobile & Performance
High-contrast neon UI is easy on phones/tablets. Portrait fits the Montreal Metro; landscape helps track orb locks on longer GO Transit rides in the GTA.
