Slot Features
Free Spins Trigger
In Club Tropicana – Happy Hour, the Free Spins feature is activated by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on the reels, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. This mechanic follows the standard structure seen in many of Reel Kingdom’s Big Bass-style slots, offering players a familiar yet engaging path to the bonus game.
Pre-Feature Modifiers
Before the Free Spins round begins, the game randomly awards between 0 to 5 modifiers that influence how the bonus round plays out. These modifiers can vary in impact, ranging from more Money Symbols (cocktails) and additional Wild bartender symbols, to more frequent random features. Some modifiers even allow the bonus round to begin at level 2 in the progression system, or grant extra spins at the start and with each retrigger.
Wild Bartenders and Progression System
Wild symbols appear exclusively during Free Spins and take the form of the stylish bartender. These Wilds serve a dual purpose: they substitute for regular symbols to form winning combinations, and they also collect the values of all visible Money Symbols (cocktails) on the screen. Each Wild that lands is added to a progression meter. For every four Wilds collected, players receive an additional 10 free spins and a boost to the win multiplier — 2x at level 2, 3x at level 3, and 10x at level 4. This progression adds tension and long-term potential to the bonus game.
Random Enhancements
To keep gameplay lively during Free Spins, several random features can activate depending on symbol combinations. If there are Wilds without Money Symbols, an exotic drink animation may drop cocktails onto the reels. If Money Symbols land without bartenders, a beer animation may introduce a Wild to help collect them. Lastly, if there are bartenders with no paying combinations, a shaker may transform all non-Wilds into identical symbols for a potential win. These enhancements keep the feature fresh and help convert non-winning spins into rewarding ones.
