Along advancing through the row, the hero can encounter villains, chests, accessories, multipliers. There are also empty platforms and a fortress at the end of the row.

When a hero encounters a villain, he will either defeat him and advance to the right of the grid on the row. Or he will be killed and be stopped by him. This depends on the type of villain and hero that meet and is according to the rule described above. Each successful battle brings you monetary wins as explained below. The payout for defeating each villain is boosted with multipliers. They have values of x2, x3, and x4 when they appear and the villains are killed on reels 3, 4, and 5 respectively.

When the hero encounters any of the 2 empty platforms, he advanced through them. Meeting a chest also advances the hero and gives you the respective cash prize it holds. Reaching to any of the 3 kinds of fortresses gives you the displayed on them money reward as shown above. This is the final aim of the rounds and results in massive wins. If the hero gets a 2x multiplier, any following wins he achieves will be doubled. Each hero can accumulate up to 4 of these x2 multipliers. So a total of x16 multiplier boost can be achieved per Reel Quest.

When the hero reaches an accessory, he gets it and can use it for future battles with a villain. The Reel Quest starts when a hero lands on the first reels and ends when it is defeated. Defeating the 5 different villains gives you the relevant cash wins. The latter is increased by x2, x3, or x4 when the villains are on reels 3, 4, and 5.
