Read the rules and tips below and dance the rain of cash out of this game!Gameplay and pokie symbols
This pokie is somewhat similar to such games by RTG as Ronin or Red Sands. It gives you a very basic idea of the plot behind the gameplay and puts a focus on prizes and lucrative features, not on design. This time the idea is a rainmaking ritual mastered by natives of the North America and this is as far as it goes. To start dancing the rain of cash out of an online casino, activate up to 20 paylines and place a bet within a range from $0.01 up to $5 per line. This is your personal gate to a real flood of cash prizes and lucrative features, provided you play for real money.
The prizes are earned with the help of symbols. There are ten non-feature symbols, a Wild and a Scatter. Non-feature icons are playing cards from 9 through to A, a Tomahawk, an Amulet, an American Eagle and a Wigwam. These icons pay from left to right when you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 matching icons on any payline you keep active. Note that playing cards pay when you land at least 3 cards of a kind on any active line. Non-feature icons award from x2 up to x2500 a line bet ($10,500 at max). You may win on multiple lines in a spin, it is directly provided for by the rules. The only restriction is that each active line pays only the highest line win in case it hosts two combinations.
A Chief full of dignity is a Wild icon. It is marked with many virtues: it substitutes for any symbol including Scatters and when it does so, it doubles line wins or Scatter prizes. So a Wild may promote your line win up to x5000 a line bet and your Scatter prize up to x200 a total bet. The Wild appears on reel 1 and reel 5 in all modes.
A Scatter looks like a coyote howling on the Moon yet it does not howl. Instead it awards prizes: landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 Scatters gives you x1, x2, x10 or x100 a total bet. Besides, Scatters activate a Respin feature which may trigger the next bonus feature, a Free Game mode.
Respin feature
Getting two or more Scatters, you activate a Respin feature. Firstly you are awarded all line and Scatter prizes you have in a triggering round. Then Scatters are held while other reels respin once. When the reels stop, Scatters pay once more but no other symbols pay after a respin. In case five Scatters trigger a respin, you get your 5-Scatter prize of x100 a total bet and the reels respin into triggering positions and you get your 5-Scatter prize again, so the feature brings you as much as x200 a total bet.
If a respin brings an extra Scatter or Scatters and you finally have 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere on the screen, the next-level feature gets underway.
Free Game feature
This is the second level of bonus features introduced into the gameplay. This means that you have already activated a Respin feature and made it rain some cash into your game balance. And now it is time to win bigger. The number of free games you get in this mode depends on the number of Scatters you have on the reels after the respin: 3, 4 or 5 Scatters award 10, 15 or as many as 100 free spins. Besides, the number of Scatters in a triggering round (i. e. after a respin) awards a respective multiplier applied to wins in free games: 3 Scatters give x3, 4 Scatters award x4 and 5 Scatters grant a x5 multiplier.
You may activate a Respin feature again during Free Games. If you land at least 2 Scatters in a free spin mode, a Respin feature activates and you may win some extra free games, 10, 15 or 100.
All respins and free spins play at line and bet settings you make for a normal game and these two crucially important settings cannot be changed when features are running. To maximize chances and payouts during a Respin feature and a Free Game feature, it is recommended to keep all lines active.
How to win a progressive jackpot?
The progressive jackpot triggers at random and it may award you a nice prize just the way a rain drops after a rain dance – out of the blue sky. To check the current amount of a progressive jackpot, look at a jackpot meter above the reels. To win it, make any bet and spin the reels. It does not set forth any qualification requirements. You can win a progressive jackpot as well as other prizes offered by the pokie at any location and at any time due to its compatibility with most mobile devices.
