Bow Of Artemis Symbols & Pay Table

Bow Of Artemis Features & Mechanics
After every spin, the Tumble Feature is activated. Winning combinations are paid, and all winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen, and new symbols drop in from above to fill the empty positions. Tumbling continues until no more winning combinations or spin features appear. All wins are added to the player’s balance after all tumbles and spin features resulting from a base spin have been played.
Spin Features
In the base game, special coloured markings can appear behind normal symbols. When a win occurs on a marked spot, a special spin feature is triggered, depending on the colour of the mark:
- Brown Mark – The Chase Begins: After all tumbles from the current spin finish, the screen is cleared, and new symbols appear.
- Teal Mark – Wild Pack: After all tumbles finish, one random symbol on the screen transforms into a wild.
- Purple Mark – Big Game Hunter: After all tumbles finish, random 2×2 blocks of the same symbol are added to the screen.
- Red Mark – Colossal Game: After all tumbles finish, a random block of 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 of the same symbol is added to the screen.
- Blue Mark – Lucky Wilds: After all tumbles finish, 5 to 15 Wild symbols are added to the screen.
- Green Mark – Power: After all tumbles finish, 10 to 30 instances of a random paying symbol are added to the screen.
If multiple features are won on the same spin, they will play in the following fixed order: The Chase Begins, Wild Pack, Big Game Hunter, Colossal Game, Lucky Wilds, and Power.
The Hunt Progressive Feature
During every spin, the number of winning symbols that explode during tumbles is counted, filling The Hunt meter. When a certain number of symbols is reached, The Hunt feature triggers, and the meter resets to zero when no more winning symbols explode.
