What multiplier becomes available after collecting 100 symbols during a base game Tumble sequence?

The third and strongest base game level is unlocked, awarding a random multiplier between 9x and 15x.

What happens if the first and second multiplier levels are both unlocked during the same spin?

Only the highest multiplier reached is applied to the accumulated Tumble win when the complete sequence finishes.

How do Bomb explosions help unlock larger multipliers?

Every regular paying symbol removed by a Bomb explosion is added to the same collection meter used by winning symbols, allowing Bombs to push the sequence towards higher multiplier thresholds.

What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, cross and X Bombs?

They clear different patterns across the grid. One removes a complete row, another clears a reel, one removes symbols horizontally and vertically around its position, while the X Bomb destroys symbols along the diagonals.

Can a Bomb explode during the base game if the spin has produced no winning Tumble?

No. In the base game at least one winning Tumble must occur before the Bombs can detonate.

How many collected symbols are needed to unlock the 500x multiplier during Free Spins?

A total of 235 winning and exploded symbols must be collected during the relevant Free Spin sequence to unlock the fixed 500x multiplier.

Does the multiplier collected during one Free Spin remain active on the next Free Spin?

No. The progression is calculated independently for each Free Spin and resets before the next one begins.

What multiplier range becomes available after collecting 85 symbols during Free Spins?

The fifth multiplier level is unlocked, producing a random value between 26x and 50x.

Why are Bombs stronger mechanically during Free Spins than in the base game?

During Free Spins they can explode without requiring a previous winning Tumble, allowing their removed symbols to contribute to the multiplier meter even when the original result did not contain a standard Pay Anywhere win.

What happens when six Ares Scatters trigger the bonus?

Six Scatters award an immediate 100x payout and trigger the standard 15 Free Spins feature. The number of starting spins does not increase beyond 15.

Sword of Ares

Sword of Ares takes the familiar Pay Anywhere and Tumble structure into the violent world of the Greek god of war, but its multiplier system works very differently from the usual random multiplier symbols. The game uses 6 reels and 5 rows, with wins requiring at least 8 identical paying symbols anywhere across the grid. Every successful Tumble contributes symbols towards a progression meter positioned above the reels, while four different Bomb types can destroy additional symbols and accelerate that progress. With high volatility, a default RTP of 96.40% and maximum potential of 10,000x the total bet, Sword of Ares is largely about keeping one sequence alive long enough to unlock increasingly valuable multipliers. Regular paying symbols do not need to connect or appear on adjacent reels. Any 8 or more matching symbols across the 30 available positions create a win. Coloured gems form the lower section of the paytable, while the sword, shield, chariot and helmet provide the premium values. The helmet is the strongest standard symbol and can pay 20x the total bet when at least 12 matching helmets appear. Every successful combination starts a Tumble. Winning symbols disappear, the remaining symbols fall into the vacant positions and new symbols enter from above. If another qualifying group forms, another win is added and another Tumble begins. Symbols involved in these wins are counted by the Multiplier Collection meter, meaning a long sequence can unlock progressively stronger values before the spin finally finishes. The base game contains three multiplier thresholds. Collecting 20 winning or exploded symbols unlocks a random 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier. Reaching 50 symbols unlocks 5x, 6x, 7x or 8x, while 100 collected symbols unlock 9x through 15x. When all Tumbles and Bomb explosions have finished, only the highest multiplier reached during that spin is applied to the complete accumulated Tumble win. Bomb symbols can appear across the grid in four different forms. A horizontal Bomb removes symbols across its row, a vertical Bomb clears its reel, another destroys symbols in a cross pattern and the fourth removes symbols diagonally in an X pattern. Bombs remain visible while ordinary Tumbles continue. In the base game they only detonate after at least one winning Tumble has occurred. Every symbol removed by an explosion is added to the Multiplier Collection meter, after which fresh symbols fall into the cleared positions and can create further wins. Ares acts as the Scatter and can appear anywhere on the grid. Landing 4 or more Scatters triggers 15 Free Spins. Four Scatters also award 3x the total bet, five provide 15x and six pay 100x. The bonus cannot be retriggered, so the original 15 spins represent the full allocation. Free Spins expand the multiplier system from three progression levels to six. The first unlocks after 15 collected symbols and awards 2x, 3x or 4x. Reaching 27 unlocks 5x, 6x, 7x or 8x. At 39 symbols, the available multiplier ranges from 9x to 15x. Collecting 55 unlocks values from 16x to 25x, while 85 symbols can produce a multiplier between 26x and 50x. The final progression level is deliberately difficult to reach. Collecting 235 winning and exploded symbols during one Free Spin sequence unlocks a fixed 500x multiplier. Just like in the base game, the highest multiplier reached is applied to the total accumulated win from that sequence. The progression resets for the next Free Spin, so Sword of Ares does not use one persistent multiplier across the complete bonus. Bombs remain active during Free Spins and become more aggressive because they can explode even without a preceding winning Tumble. Their destroyed symbols still contribute towards the progression meter, making them particularly useful when trying to reach the higher multiplier thresholds. A well placed Bomb can therefore do more than simply clear the grid, since its explosion can unlock a much stronger multiplier and simultaneously create space for another Tumble. Where available, the 15 Free Spins feature can be purchased for 100x the total bet. The purchase generates 4, 5 or 6 Scatters and enters the same bonus mechanics as a natural trigger. The standard game supports stakes from 0.20 to 100 and has alternative RTP configurations of 95.40% and 94.44% alongside the default 96.40%. There is no Wild symbol, Megaways system or progressive jackpot. Sword of Ares has maximum potential of 10,000x the bet. A reliable theoretical Hit Frequency, natural Bonus Round Frequency and Max Win Probability have not been publicly disclosed. Independent data covering almost 9.9 million spins produced an observed Hit Frequency of approximately 26.10% and an observed Free Spins frequency of approximately 0.4945%, equivalent to roughly once every 202 spins. What gives Sword of Ares its identity is the relationship between Tumbles, destructive Bombs and multiplier thresholds, where removing more symbols is not just about creating another win but about pushing the current sequence closer to a dramatically stronger multiplier.
