G.R.O.W. Features & Bonuses

There are two main features in the slot: the Beanstalk Treasure and the Free Spins. At the top of the 5 reels, you can see 4 chests. Each of them contains a Cash Value. To win any of the cash rewards from the chests, you must grow the corresponding Beanstalk. It must be grown to such a height that it reaches the respective Chest. Beanstalks start from the bottom of the reels and must grow 10 times in total to reach their corresponding chest. If a Beanstalk grows more than 10 times, the excessive growth will not be lost but added to the next Beanstalk.

You can see the Total in Chests board displayed on the top right of the grid. This is the total value summed of all 4 chests. In each of the chests, there is a unique cash value that can change during the game. Its amount is dependent on the total bet you play with and on the average of all contributing bets for unlocking that chest.

When you have won one or more chests, they get new random values and this is reflected in the Total in Chests board. Your chances to land a G.R.O.W. symbol depend on on the Chest prizes. Generally, the larger bets you play with the higher sums you will win from the chests. The sum of the Total in Chests remains the same between playing sessions.

Each G.R.O.W. symbol you land makes the corresponding Beanstalk grow by the equal size. So, landing a G.R.O.W. symbol on reels 1 or 5 will increase the height of the 1st or 4th Beanstalks. The latter are positioned between reels. Hitting a G.R.O.W. symbol on reels 2, 3 or 4 increases the Beanstalk adjacent to reel 2, 3 or 4 respectively.

When you land 1 or more Golden Bee scatter symbol/symbols on any reel, an extra cash amount will be added to the corresponding chest/chests. This will be reflected in the total of 4 Chests. A Golden Bee symbol landed on 1st and 5th reel increases the cash value of the first and last chests. A Golden Bee landed on reels 2, 3 or 4 increases the cash amount of the middle chests. For each Golden Bee you get on a reel, one or more Golden Bees will fly up to the corresponding chest/chests and give you 2x total bet.

If you get 3 or more Bonus symbols in a spin you will trigger 10 Free Spins. You can retrigger them and win 10 more free rounds by landing 3 bonus symbols during free spins. You can land Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 during free spins. You play free spins with the bet size that triggered them. The free rounds play automatically.
