Top Up Fortunes: Flame / Ocean

HOW THE ADVANTAGE WORKS:

• In Top Up Fortunes, landing a volcano/trident symbol in a reel will expand the height of that reel for the next three spins. The reels begin at three symbols tall and can reach a maximum height of six symbols tall. After three spins, the reel will drop back down one level (the green squares in the top left of the reel indicate how many spins remain at that height).
  
• Having taller reels offers several advantages—better line hits, more chances to trigger the free games bonus and more chances to land the six scatter symbols needed to trigger the hold & spin feature. Additionally, landing another volcano/trident symbol on a max height reel will trigger the Add Wild feature, which adds random wilds to the reels.
  

WHEN TO PLAY

• The bet pad displays yellow squares that represent each expanded position on the reels. For example, three vertical yellow squares represents a reel that is six symbols tall (if you don’t see the yellow squares, you need to tap the Paytable button on the bet pad). Important: Only count yellow squares with spins remaining; otherwise, that reel will drop down one level on the next spin. For example, if there are three vertical yellow squares above a reel, but zero spins remaining, that should only count as two yellow squares.
  

1. Eight yellow squares anywhere.
   
2. Six yellow squares in the first three reels (for better line hits).
   
3. Three yellow squares above any single reel (for a chance to trigger the Add Wild feature).
   

Additional notes​

• Many APs don’t know about the Add Wild feature that occurs when you land another volcano/trident on a reel that is already max height. This adds two or more wilds to reels two, three, four and/or five. You can get massive line hits when this works out. So playing any three vertical yellow squares is a low cost play with a huge potential upside.
  
• Landing a volcano/trident symbol on a max height reel will reset the spins remaining back to three (as well as trigger the Add Wild feature described above).
• Like other Sega Sammy games, the free games bonus and hold & spin feature are both feast-or-famine.
• It’s possible for more than one volcano/trident symbol to land on the same reel. Each symbol landed will raise the reel one level.
• The denomination buttons don’t work on the bet pad, so you have to touch the main screen to switch denoms. I imagine this is a bug that might get fixed later.

The trident symbol landed in reel three, which expanded that reel to the max height (six symbols tall). You can tell there are three spins remaining because of the three green squares in the top left of the reel.

Landing six of the scatter symbols with credit prizes will trigger the hold & spin feature. The reel heights from the base game transfer into the feature, and the reels can expand further during the feature. The largest prizes are at the top, so the feature can pay very well when the reels get tall.

Landing a volcano symbol in the fifth reel (which was already max height) triggered the Add Wild feature. Sega Sammy games are known for having massive line hits like this.

The yellow squares represent the expanded reels (you may need to tap the Paytable button on the left if you aren’t seeing this screen displayed).
