Features and Bonuses: Magic Modifiers, Piggy Banks and Lock & Spin Frames
The feature architecture links the two centre-reel Wild characters with the piggy banks and the frame-based Lock & Spin modes. The table summarises the main interactions between these systems.
| Feature | Activation | Effect | Technical Details |
|---|
| Magic Spin | May occur at the start of a base-game round | The centre reel stops first with Gambini or Ghost of Gambini visible. | - Focuses on the centre reel
- Uses one of the two Wild characters
|
| Magic Rewind | May occur in the base game | A reel rewinds to reveal a feature-related symbol. | - The centre reel can rewind to Gambini or Ghost of Gambini
- With a Wild visible, other non-winning positions may rewind to locked jackpots
|
| Lock & Spin | A pig is filled by a Gambini contribution | A frame-based respin sequence begins. | - One filled pig starts with 3 spins
- Two pigs filled together start with 4 spins
- Ghost symbols can reset the remaining-spin counter
|
| Super Lock & Spin | A pig is filled by a Ghost of Gambini contribution | An enhanced frame sequence begins using Gold Ghosts. | - Only Gold Ghost symbols appear
- Gold Ghosts create or upgrade positions directly to Gold Frames
|
Piggy-Bank Trigger Logic
When Gambini lands, he may add a coin to one pig or to both pigs. Ghost of Gambini adds a coin to both pigs. The character responsible for completing a pig determines which feature is launched: Gambini leads to Lock & Spin, while Ghost of Gambini leads to Super Lock & Spin. If both pigs complete at the same time, the opening spin counter is higher than when only one pig completes.
White Ghost and Gold Ghost Behaviour
In regular Lock & Spin, a White Ghost placed on an empty position creates a Bronze Frame. Landing in a Bronze or Silver Frame moves that frame up one level. If a White Ghost reaches a Gold Frame, it is transferred to another position where it can create or upgrade a frame. A Gold Ghost creates a Gold Frame immediately on an empty position and upgrades Bronze or Silver Frames directly to Gold.
Frame Progression
The three frame levels are Bronze, Silver and Gold. In Lock & Spin, the feature can therefore develop through successive upgrades. When a Gold Ghost reaches an existing Gold Frame, it moves to an empty position and creates another Gold Frame. If every reel position becomes a Gold Frame, the feature ends. At the end of the sequence, the frames reveal their assigned prize symbols or jackpot tiers.
Spin Counter and Direct Feature Access
A Lock & Spin or Super Lock & Spin round that starts with three spins resets to three when a ghost lands; a round that starts with four resets to four. The game also contains a direct bonus-access menu with one option for Lock & Spin and another for Super Lock & Spin. This menu changes the route into the feature but does not alter the basic frame rules described above.
